Who wants to go to BSL on Sunday?


Recommended Posts

I'm heading up to Big Sandy on Sunday early morning (4:30-5:00) for a full day on Sunday, going mainly after tullies but maybe a crappie or two. Any takers? I live in Plymouth and we can take off from my apartment, meet somewhere on the way, whatever works. I'll cover most/all of the gas, if you wanna throw in $10 I wouldn't turn it down. I have a ford contour, so I can fit 3-4 full-size guys in my car somewhat comfortably, w/ gear in the trunk.

Dude, I wish. I was up there last weekend, and wouldn't mind at all. Still recovering from the hangover, though.

I wish I could say yes to that but I wouldn't know if I was able to go until Sunday. More fixing cars this weekend so I won't know if I could go until I am done repairing stuff.

Had some of the best panfishing of my life. Caught almost a dozen sunnies over 9, and 1 over 10"plus some crappies (3 over 12") mixed in. Worked the north shore from the Big sand bar. The guy we were with knew where to go, but I will say we were a ways from the crowds. You'll catch a few crappies in the crowds, but look for a spot at the base of the break in around 20' of water on the north shore, and you'll do OK. If you dont mark fish in the immediate area, DRILL MOVE DRILL MOVE DRILL MOVE. The key is to find the unpressured fish and pick them off. THey're getting hit pretty hard, and are getting a little skittish.

I will do that. It really would be awesome to get outa town for a day so that would be sweet. Plus I got a smoker now and tullibies are great smoked. I will let you know when I know. Gotta fix Mom's car first so that will determine the weekend for me depending on whats wrong.

midcoast, it depends on the day. I've done really well on jigs that a guy on here makes, I can't mention his name since he's not a sponsor, but they're tiny, tiny hair jigs (1/80th & 1/100th oz.) sometimes with a waxie/spike sometimes just plain, no maggot. I've also heard of guys that do really well on small pimples, diamond jigs, fiskas, etc. If they're not eating sometime, keep switching til ya find the trigger

Fishaholic I have a shack in McGregor and I was thinking about going up and hitting a trout lake near there Saturday and hit BSL on sunday. If I don't go up tomorrow or Saturday morn I would love to come up and hit the ice with you Sunday or we could just meet there on Sunday. If you can we could do both days and stay at my shack. Shoot me an e-mail if you have an interest and we could figure out a plan. [email protected]

feathers, I may be able to take ya up on that, only problem is I have to watch my son at least most of the day on saturday. I'm gonna try to talk my sister into watching him in the evening, my wife's working, and we could maybe head up then. That way we wouldn't have to wake up at technically 3:30!! I'm emailing you my number, call me sometime this evening, after about 7:30, I should be there. If I'm not, just leave a message and I'll call ya back.

Well I am gonna swtich gears and do some open water fishing instead this weekend so I won't be going. I usually ice fish until the bitter end but I feel like standing on solid ground and catching a cat.

      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

      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!
