I figured I'd make my 2500's post a lot like my other posts, random odd short posts with mostly useless information. I mean, it is kind of a like milestone, it's half of 5000, and 1/4 of 10,000.

I was going to leave it at that, but no, I can't. laugh .....

So with out delay, I'll just say;

I hope you all have your best year of fishing in 2012! I know my 2012 Ice season ended with the BEST season I have ever had, and look forward to a stellar open water season. As always, 8 times out of 10, I have room in my boat to take you fellow HSO members out. I have met some really amazing and fun people on here, and always enjoy their/your company on my boat.

Good luck this year!

Matt

Congrats Matt!

Perhaps for your 2502 post you can tell me if you have seen anyone use a boston whaler montauk for fishing our local waters. I may be able to get one for a great deal from a friend who is moving. Its just I have never seen one being used on our local lakes. Thank you for your 2501 posts, but I only care about 2502 for now:)

Congrats!

Hey Simple1, that BW boat would be an AWESOME boat if you are looking to just fish, but if you enjoy taking the family out and going for a cruze every so often I would stray away from it, I am not saying it wouldn't work but it just isn't going to be near as comfortable/nice for accomadating non-fishing people ha ha. Also depending on the shape it is in obviously.

Boston Whalers are great boats, before we got our Tracker we were looking at getting a center console Mako, my uncle who lives in Florida has an Action Craft and all I can say is once you get use to a center console boat you will love it! Also I still do not understand why poling platforms haven't caught on up here. Even though we are not "poling" that often up here ha ha they still are very nice to have, for tubing, standing, leaning, cutting up bait, setting stuff on when you're standing (like a workbench). Personally I would jump at the oppurtunity to get a Boston Whaler for cheap but that is just me! Good luck Simple!

      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
