I don't wanna sound like a broken record, but.............

When you use the services of Jonny, Kelly, and Patsy, you are in for a first class operation.

This past weekend some guys and myself rented a sleeper from these guys. Holy Cow!!! This house was huge enough to play hockey in!! It's clean to boot!!! It was one of the few I've rented that didn't smell like rotting fish, or a fart, or some kind of science experiment. They come out and check on you often, show you a few fish catching tricks, and of course warn you about the URL seals.

Part of a great weekend.

What an awesome time. Anyone thinking about hitting URL should really ring up the Waskish Minnow Station. To say you will be pleased with their services is an understatement.

Legal disclaimer- Jon, just cuz you can, doesn't mean we actually did play hockey in the fish house. grin.gif

Quite a few crappies and even more walleye.

No pike or perch, but Jon knew we wanted crappie and eyes so that's where he put us.

The DNR officers.

and to add to the post about Kelly and Jon, They are the best. I was the guy holding everything up with my truck not starting, they went completely above and beyond to help me get it started, and never acted as if I was inconveniencing them, I cant thank you enough for all your help. They also put us on some fish on friday night we caught 2 perch 2 crappies 1 northern and around 15 walleye, then after the sun came up all we got the rest was like 4 walleye 1 northern, but all in all was a Great weekend, all thanks to Kelly and Jon, I would recommend them every time. Thanks again!!

Boiler the house looked fine, we did find claw and scratch marks where Bob was sitting. \:D

Spinner fisher, its not like we haven't been broke down on the lake before, bad place to have a dead rig. I'm just glad we got your rig going and didn't have to drag it to town.

Spinnerfisher, sorry I kept dozing off while talking to you but I'm middle aged and slipping into old age while trying to do a young mans job. Sometimes there is just no gas left in the tank. tired.gif

Boiler Guy- You were not too far from us, but it was way to cold to venture over. Sorry man maybe next time. We ended up with 100 walleye's, 20 crappies, 2 northerns,and one perch on Scott's circle! grin.gif

Labs- nice to meet you and glad you guys got that car started.

I posted details in update posts.

Next time buddy.

Woodman, it was nice meeting you too. Did your buddies ever find Ludlow Island? grin.gif Me thinks they probably didn't want any more stories form Jon and I.

Getting that car started was easy for me... just drive Jonny over to their car, hand him my genrerator and let him hook up their engine block heater... "DOH crazy.gif 'I' knew we should've hooked that up!". Couple hours later, I guess she fired right up. Give Jonny a warm bowl of soup when he brough the generator back and all was good. Note to everyone on the big lake! Don't point your grill into the wind when you park your vehicle!

On a weekend like that, I was almost glad I had a diesel... I think it ran for 40 outta 48 hours! But boy it was always nice and warm when you jumped in it! Which wsn't all that bad as the thermometer on the dash showed -24 degrees! blush.gif

Good Luck!

Ken

Labs- They asked me where it was and I told them St. Cloud. grin.gif There were so full of it that night, that I shut my talky off so I could fish in piece and quiet. My dad caught a huge crappie and eye when he was out for the afternoon. It was great to get him back ice fishing again. My generator sure paid for itself this weekend, best Christmas gift I got! grin.gif

Truck ran lots due to everybody driving it to go to the bathroom, and to shore to get stuff. I should have charged them for the use of it so I can fill it up again. The wife was shocked at how much gas was left when I got home.

Great weekend and lots of memories for URL! whistle.gif

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
