If you are thinking about this, you may want to act soon. The Ultimate is not taking place this year due to the additional DNR requirements and costs! I also heard through the grapevine that Gabby wasn't going to hold his Thursday niters.

steiger, call Brent. He is requiring a $200 deposit to hold a spot. First come, first serve. (Returning teams DO NOT get preference!) My check left on Tuesday. I think there will be a lot of interest because the other local tour is gone.

I know Z-Nail already sent his money, too. Brent told me he is getting a lot of interest already. I sent the tourney dates to Classic Bass for Brent, too.

Kato is correct, the check was sent Tuesday. It sounds like a blast. Anyone else getting the itch to be standing in the boat?

MINNESOTA MONGO ,don't give just yet there still is a evening tournament going , but I don't have any details at this moment ,sorry all I know is the name of the event is D's Bustin Bass .

He had it last year but the turn out was poor due to the fact it was on the same night as Gabby's thursday nighters

Sweet! Thanks Lucky! That's the sort of league I was hoping to fish in with my 14 yr old son.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

So what are they going to have for poor people like me that can't swing that $ to fish. I NEED to compete. I'm an adrenaline junky for fishing tournaments.

katoguy, I'll leave that up to you, I likley won't be fishing bassin for animals.but who knows any things possible.

I am evan undecided for SMBT.. I Was already assured sponsorship for half the Entry but I might be persuaded if the other half gets paid. still undecided to both if not the walley fishing was spectacular last spring and fall and I not opposed to do that again Either (but leaning towards fishing tournaments)

      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
