I believe PikeBayCommance has a 31 or 33 in his avatar. Dynamite fish from last winter if I'm not mistaken. Beef will tell you since he guides on that lake quite a bit....there are some pigs in Cass.

Cass has a lot of nice eyes in there... I have seen some HUGE eyes on Cass, but I'm still waiting on a 31 or 32 incher...

My personal best 21" but my father in law landed and released a 32" last year, caught right outside of the narrows heading towards the opening for Windigo and then proceeded to get a warning ticket from the DNR for not having our life jackets visable (they were on the boat). The guy was pretty cool, he waited and watched my father in law land that pig and then gave us a warning tix! He caught it on 8 lb mono, amazing! We had no camera and he did not want to put it into the live well because he was not sure it would make the trip back. After we released it I remembered that I had my cell phone in my bag and it has a camera on it...DOAH!

My personal best/biggest out of Cass is 24". Caught it in early September '06 trolling after dark. She smashed a husky [jerk-bait] 5 feet down over 35 feet-of-water. Another boat about 300 yards away from me got a 28" that night, too.

26-1/2" about 8 years ago. Funny thing is, we boated this fish trolling a #7 shad rap, sunny day, straight up noon. Yes there was a good chop that day. Everyone in the boat thought for sure we had on a nice northern, but when we say that white tip on the tail we knew it was a good one.

We'll be back in May for our annual trip, hope to see more better fish again this year. Last year was one of our better years with several daily limits of fish from 18-20".

Take care - see you on the water.

There is a replica of a 32"er in the lodge of Break on the Lake caught in June like 10 years ago...

Good Luck!

I had a three year run where I got one nice fish each year. 2004 was a 27", 2005 a 30", and 2006 a 29". All three swam away to be caught another day. Not one over 22 last summer. I wonder who I upset?

My wife got a 30" on Pike Bay. I've had more 28-29.75" eyes on Cass and Pike Bay than I can count. Still haven't got one over 30" though.

My family and I used to always make it up to Cass once a year. One year about 6 years ago we were all out in the boat fishing spinner harnesses for jumbo perch when I set into something good. Ended up being a 27 inch walley which was a blast on ultra lite tackle. Thats my personal best up to this day.

      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
