The Shoreveiw landing in I falls is open,so is the landing at Pelland ,the Pelland landing still has a chunk of ice at the rivers edge ,I would say small boats for now.I talk to a guy putting his boat in at Pelland today and he said they were getting a few walleye's.The river is low and clean.

Kelly, I heard that they may be opening the dam a little in I falls. Any word? can you help me out with this info? any truth? if so has it had a negative effect in the past?

Thanks

I haven't heard,it would not hurt at all if they let out a little water,the river is as low as I have seen it,a little current in my opinion will help,open things up and get them feeding,.another foot of water would be ideal.

The parking area is a little muddy but ok,the landing has a big piece of ice at the bottom,smaller boats would push over it fine ,larger boats would be a problem right now.

I'am getting boat ready,I ordered my bait,it has arrived ( crawlers) They have minnows in town.I like to fish for both walleye and sturgy, so I take equipment for both.

I will be putting boat in next week,maybe Tuesday depending on the weather .I heard the river is getting close to Birchdale.

I talked to alyse this AM and she said they had the machinery there to clear the access in birchdale yesterday. Not sure if they did or not tho? Cant confirm. But my guess is that after today, or possibly today even birchdale will be available for big boats. And Im hoping by next Thursday at Frontier. Fingers crossed

Landing still has ice I put my 16.5 alumacraft and 75 mercury in yesterday over shore ice. Ice is breaking away getting very soft at top of landing. Still 35 yards of shore ice when we left last night at 7 pm.

You would be amazed what you see up there sometimes! I've seen guys push 18 and 19 foot boats over the edge, then shoot back up on the ice later and winch it on the trailer.

Two summers ago when I was working with the DNR doing watercraft inspections at the access in I falls behind hardees, I hooked into a massive sturgeon could have easily pushed 100 lbs. It spooled my braided line and nearly pulled me into the water. I was using hardees cheeseburgers on a plain hook off bottom.

I backed down ramp as far as i thought i could go and pushed boat off trailer using crank to keep control of boat speed off trailer. Had transducer tipped up and motor trimmed as high it would go. After boat was on ice it wanted to go had to have rope connected and let boat drop in water. Pulling boat back out hooked tow rope to trailer and another length of rope to boat. Used truck to pull boat up to top of ramp and cranked back onto trailer. Fishing was good and weather was good makes it better.

if Birchdale does open how is that ramp? shallow and gentle or does it drop off quick like Vidas? IE... Is It Bunk Trailer Friendly?

Any updates on Frontier? I was talking with a county worker at the ramp on Sunday, he mentioned something about the county filling in that hole at the edge of the concrete. Just wondering if anyone has heard if they have or plan on doing this.

Frontier is fine back in and cut your trailer hard down river no problem the hole is on the right side. Seen a couple trailers with broken axels just stay to the down river side. I have a bunk and need to sink it to get it off and i had no issues in 3 days.

Last time I checked the Pinewood landing it was push over ice. (20 feet or so) My buddies fished the Morley Park and that was push in also. I will stop after work and check the Pinewood landing and post later tonight.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   Guess when them damb helicopters from my maple tree arrive I'll  find out how good she blows,  doubt I'll  get a chance first with Stormy to compare!🤭   Anyone got trumps number?😄

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits
