the office.

I got my Jeep with the V Plow fixed today, and I just got off Lizzie, it works great. Chains on all 4 wheels. I'll be out on Lida by 10:00 tomorrow. See you all out there, Scott. 701-540-7684 cell.

Thank you for all of the hard work you have done this winter so far. Who would have thought with all this "global warming" going we would have this much snow and be so cold.

Scott, Thanks again for the plowed road heading to clay point. I missed you again. I saw you heading back to pelican rapid when i was heading to the lake. You meet my friend Bo and you plowed around his house and mine. My house is the smallest house on the point. Thanks again. If you email me at [email protected] I would like to give you a gift. Thanks

Was out on Lida tonight, not much luck, only a handful of rock bass. The plowed road is great. Without it many of us would be sitting at home. Thanks for all the work put into making the road and making it a possibility for everyone to get on the lake!! Thanks again!

I will most likely be out there all day on Thurs even with a -15 high for the day. How is the parking situation out there on the ice, I have a portable so I need a place to park out there.

Theres a good area to park just across the breaker. It's right on the left when you cross it, that area didn't get any snow accumulation and you can almost see the ice.

Got a few fish on Tuesday evening, but nothing crazy. Left at 6:30 so it may have gotten better. Looking forward to this weekend, I think it will be a good one for active fish, especially since you can hole hop and fish outside.

Roads good to the breaker and past it, just head a tish east once you cross the breaker to stay on the plowed road.

Rumor has it there's lots of water on the ice out there still. I'd have thought the really cold temps might have taken care of that. If I bring my little boy out there this weekend fishing out of a portable, will he be knee deep in water?

Me and RylFlsh85 were out yesterday and the fishing was slow. The roads are great, there was 2 trucks out plowing late afternoon for about 2 or 3 hours. There is a lot of water coming up the holes. You need to set up on a snow drift other wise you get what we had. We drilled a hole off of the snow drifts and we found ol'faithful, if we would have let it there would have been 6 or 7 inches of water on the ice but we through a ice chunk down the hole to stop it.

Brought my 5 yr old daughter out Saturday afternoon. Got stuck trying to get to my spot on the edge of the west group. Redrilled holes where I've caught a ton of nice sized bluegils over the past few weeks and the fish were not there. One bass swam through in 30 minutes. I was really disappointed because it was the first time I took my daughter and I was sure I had a guaranteed hot spot. Guess there are never guarantees with fishing. I drilled a few holes 50 yards away and found some fish that my dauhter was able to start catching right away. Nothing spectacular, but at least we didn't get skunked. Had only caught bluegils and bass here until this trip though, nice to see a crappie come through the hole. DSC04628.jpg

      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
