What do you think Dead? Should we wait for ol fisherdog? I'm game for whatever guys. If we get more participation in february or even March, I'm all for it.

why don't we wait until the lakes have a chance to recover from this last storm and get re-iced up again so we can maybe drive on the lake instead of having to hoof it--------

I dont know any of you guys, would be fun to put a few faces to screen names. Anyway, i ll be on milacs the 9th. So if you do a second get together i will try to plan a trip around it. I have a place (smallest on lake) on Pelican and usually find some nice eyes in the evenings out there.

Sounds good, let's put it off until Feb... that way the lakes will be better and more people can participate.

Sweet, might have to drill a gazillion holes out on Pelican to find the big pannies I've heard are in there.

The weekend of the 6th or the 13th will work for me, the 13th preferrably since the 6th is a little close to tomorrow when I get snipped eek Pelican will work just fine, I'll see what I can muster up for some panfish spots by looking at a map. If everyone wants to chase eyes then I guess I'll just sit and pout.

I'm in. Paul, give me a call some time and maybe we can figure out some fishy spots on Pelican based on what you know. I'll study the map over the next week or so.

I'd have to burn a day of vacation and i'll be in. I'll have to check the schedule to see how many are working, if enough, i'd love to hit the ice...

Unless I get a job, I'll be there. The only reliable panfish spot I know is on Little Pelican. I'd give it up if interested.

I have a pregnant wife ready to pop, so it depends on if she lets me go up to the cabin. Do you guys meet at the access, on the ice, or jsut do your own thing out there.

I have had some panfish success out in front of zorbaz, in past years.

yeah typically we wait at the access until a predetermined time like 0900 and then head out to the ice. stragglers are always welcome to meet us out on the ice or contact one of the moderators on the phone to see where we are at if you can't pick us out.

I'd say we meet at the access on the East side of the lake between 8:15-8:30, is there a better access that is more centrally located on the lake? Leave at 8:30 to fish, anyone is welcome to call me on my cell if they are late.

I am in, and Peter, I will look at my map also and give you a call this weekend some time if you will be around. My main problem is that I work till 3am on Friday night, so I may be a little late but will catch up later if I have to. Sometimes getting my arse up at 6:30 to head to lake after working till 2:30-30 is a little rough. But since I have misssed the last 3-4 outings I dont want to miss out on this years.

      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
