funny thing is that I live 10 minutes from Gull and I'm probably heading your way to get away from the chaos...

well the reason im going over there, besides the fact that the lake i have been fishing has almost shut down walleye wise, is that i want to win something go figure. anyways i would like to have someone come join me, if no one does, i will probably hit HOL or big D or maybe Cormorant lake, cuz im sick if the small lake im on, i would like to hang out with some FM'ers and just hang. i sold my Ice house toinght (awesome, now looking for my clam 6800) so if anyone has any space in a house, or just someone to stand outside thier house, im here.

That place is nuts. My brother-in-law goes every year. There are way too many people there, but he has fun every time.

Remember to be there at 5 am to get one of the holes along the edge, boy those fellers are nuts.

nuts is right,

I used to do the three day Muskies Inc tourney up by Leech every year with a buddy and we had fun as well as some very close calls on some big fish, but every year I'd analyze how much money we dumped into winging 12# lures for three days, sleeping in a tent in the rain and I figuired for just a little bit more, I could be drilling the eyes, smalleys, and muskies in Canada instead. Needless to say I quit going.

Very Nice! I'm gonna have to wait till next year to upgrade. That is a heck of a deal. Right now i'm saving up for some addtions to my boat, gotta be ready for the May 10 opener. I would definatly go with to Brainerd, wow, what a prize list they've got. But I gotta work, I'd like to hear more of the one that is in Park Rapids area. I'll have to check on line and see. If you hear of it let me know, I may have to burn some vacation time. Later, the Perch

Just called Park rapids game and they will be selling tickets at the legion till 12:30 so i think i will be going to that one too, except you can only fish one line so i see. anyone thinking about this one, i think i will be going, if anyone wants to drive or would ride with me over there i think thats what im gonna do. I dont know if anyone is firmilliar with that area over there but if you get the chance there is an AWESOME diner in Adely about 20 miles away from park rapids that is unbelieaveable. -- not a plug just a suggestion

      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
    • leech~~
      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!
