It's a pretty tight race so far. Most of the leaders (including myself) had Kansas taking it. UNI, what the hay!! Oh well, gives a Big 10 school a lock on the Midwest bracket. I'm guessing Final Four: Ohio State, Kansas State, West Virginia, and Baylor(? tough one with Duke).

I hope you're right about Baylor, that would help me a little, that and if Kentucky doesn't explode in transition like last night.

Well, I went from 1st to 5th with no chance to get back. Everyone that picked West Virginia in the Final 4 is on top of the standing. I didn't see any differences in picking in the top 5, so I think our standings are all but complete since so many of us had Kansas.

As it sits I'm in the number one spot. As long as Duke doesn't win it, looks like it might stay that way. I was really surprised Kansas St. lost and I also thought my gut on Baylor would be right. Now I'd like to see Butler take it.

Butler is very good,, but MSU is very good with a great coach and I don't buy the home field edge. MSU advances to face either WV or DUKE. I don't know who. Duke has everything and I think the big guy (Zoubert) will be the difference. I like MSU agst Duke for some reason, mostly my favor for the BIg 10.-- ,,, thou Duke plays very physical and Singler has been off for so long and will likely be on. Still like MSU.

Congrats to Dog's Best Friend for taking first, I believe LMITOUT was second? Who knew Duke impartiality was good for second grin ?

Ha! I never entered the contest. That was right when HSO went down for a few days with server woes and by the time the site came back the tourney was about to start and I forgot about the Pick'em.

It's funny because every year I'll pick Duke to win it all on one of my brackets regardless of how they performed in the regular season....a little homer I guess.....but most of the time they are a contender so what the heck. This year I didn't give them a chance with Kentucky, WV, and KU in the other regions and played it safe with Kansas to give me a chance at the prize pot. Go figure!

      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!
