Ya. I know. Now it looks like I'll be there all day. Depends on a couple things. I'll find out tomorrow. Either way I should be there by 10:30am at the latest. Definitely by lunch. I hate to miss lunch. \:D

Are you still planning on bringing the deep fryer and catfish? I'd be happy to provide the batter. I have about 5 boxes of ShoreLunch and a bag of Louisiana fish fry batter sitting in the kitchen. Mix 2 boxes of shorelunch with a bag of Louisiana fish fry and it's goood. Just let me know.

Looks like we'll have an awesome day!

Huey

How long is everyone planning on staying?? With the big game going on??

Bassman-

I plan on leaving about 2pm or so. Unless you're planning on putting on a trick riding demo later in the afternoon. That avataor pic is sweet.

I could set up a temporary webcam at the event (in my truck, looking though the windshield) if anyone who can't make it is interested in peeking in?

Let me know if there is interest.

If there is I will post the details of how to get to the webcam on the site here.

If I can work out the technical difficulties I may have a second web cam set up.

That one will be wireless with pan, tilt, and a microphone.

That would be a good one to set up in someones house.

I am not going to spend a huge amount of time on it, but if it falls into place I will bring it with. I will know more by Sat night.

I wouldnt worry about that one to much. I am getting excited to get out there and see some fish, along with meeting all the people that come. Should be a great time. Remember, if anyone has any questions at all, i can help out with that as well.

I will have an extra house, chair, spear, and decoy at the get to gator.

Anyone who wants to try spearing for their first time can bring their own fishing licence, spearing licence, and heater and they are good to go.

First come first served.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
