I made it out today in the breezy conditions,fished from shore,and managed 1 walleye and 2 largemouth bass for 3 hours of fishing.The wind pushing the light rain through the air made it almost miserable.

Crappies are schooled up and active in the Buffalo area. I've been getting them on a small bullet jig tipped with plastic. Should get better as it cools down.

I had my best weekend of fishing in about two months. I managed 10 walleyes, 17 crappies and 15 plus pike. Biggest eye was 17.5 inches and biggest pike was about 4 pounds. The biggest crappie was 11 inches.

The old green 1/8 ounce jig and minnow was the ticket. Fish are shallow right now. Everything was in less than 8 feet of water.

10/3/11 Pulaski Report

Got on the lake around 1pm. I tried fishing the rocks up by little Pulaski. Was able to pick up 8 Bass in the 2 lbs range and a whole lot of Rock Bass. I then moved out deeper and tried for some Walleyes. I had no problem finding Walleyes but getting them to bite was a different story. I bounced from spot to spot before I came across a spot that kicked out some fish. I ended up catching 6 Walleyes, 5 were in the 13-16" range with one 22" fish.

Here's a video I made from one of the spots...

I hate to tell you, MedicineMan, but you must have been on a different lake. Pulaski doesn't have any walleyes. Just rockbass.

Had a tip that the walleye bite was on at Minnie Belle. Gave it a shot tonight with crawlers and plugs. Had one fish on, but other than that, pretty slow. Great night though. Haven't had much luck lately finding the active fish, but love this fall weather.

Went out for a couple hours this morning. Was hoping there would be pretty good action, but that was not the case. We ended up catching on nice bull sunfish and a couple of 10-11 inch crappies, all were within the first 15 minutes and then they shut off. We also missed a couple of bites and had a larger crappie come off near the boat. Everything was caught on a simple bobber and minnow set up in 9-10 FOW.

Hey guys, pretty new to the area. Had realy good luck at belle and Francis early this year, but things have slowly gotten worse since early July. Been blanked way too many times. Any help with a lake to try right now would be greatly appreciated!

Hey eyes,

Welcome to the forum. I normally post something once a week, but have been farming the last few weeks. Fishing reports have really slowed down. People are hunting or farming. I still have been hearing about a few walleyes being caught at South Grade Road in Hutchinson. Try early morning or an hour before dark. Jig and minnow or twister tail. You are almost guaranteed a fish if you give it an hour. Sometimes you will smack them and times you will maybe get one or two. Lake reports have been limited.

Welcome eyesinbox!

I tried Minne Belle a few weeks ago with only a pike and bass taking my bait. Had another bite off shortly after the pike bit so assuming it was another. Talked to some other folks out there who were only getting bass but fishing for walleye. Most trucks I've seen at any lake landing in a long time (six!), and they were all gone by the time I decided to give up.

Pheasants in ND is next week's plan so I may be done for the year but I'm not all that disappointed that is, considering how poor of year it was. Ready to put it behind me and never look back!

Thanks guys. Moved here from SD so was usually pheasant hunting by this weekend too. Think I'll keep the boat out till it freezes, hoping to catch the cold water bite. Will let you know if they start snappin'!

I made it out for a couple hours last night and had a good time. I was fortunate enough to land six pike, one went 33 inches. I had about a 8 pound channel catfish and I pulled three walleyes. The biggest walleye was 20 inches. The other two were small. The wild was alive last night. Geese flying and deer grazing. Reminded me why I love fall so much.

Spent a few hours on Marion yesterday with only one walleye to show for all the effort. But, another nice Fall day, although somewhat windy.

I hit up a few spots on the Buffalo Creek.

Lake fishing has been quiet from the reports I have heard. I didn't make it out over the weekend. Farming is done for me and now I will be fishing and hunting like crazy. Heading to SD to shoot roosters next weekend. Then I will be chasing eyes and waterfowl with a few deer in the mix.

It is not easy finding time to fish or report on fishing lately.

Last week one morning[2am],I stepped in the water and casted cranks for an hour and a half.I caught one largemouth bass [18+ inches] and one walleye[17.5 inches].That walleye must have had it in for me because it swam at me and stuck a treble in my waders.

Today I made it out and had quite a few fish but most were small[1 sunfish,2 perch,4 bass,5 crappies and 6 walleyes].The weather was sure pleasant light wind made for easy boat control. Hope to get out both Saturday and Sunday.

The last 2 trips out, the eyes seem to be feeding well and the crappie are nuts.

I could not keep the crappie of the hook yesterday morning.

I fished a basin in the lake and anyplace there were weeds on the bottom, the fish were stacked there.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      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!
    • PSU
      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
