The last few times i have been out about 400pm my vex. has been lit up from top to bottom with fish that come and go but dont bite tonight i caught two of them and thats what they are. When it starts to get dark they move up to the 5-7 ft. area but still come and go. I dont fish them and the ones i caught were on crappie minnows. im 1 1/2 miles out on the south shore just east of Rogers if anybody is interested.

I have seen the same thing on the vex the other night I looked down my hole and could see minnows stacked up right to the bottom of the hole maybe that could explain ths slow bite?????

Halad,
Save the tullibee. When you get a half dozen or so you can smoke them. They do taste great smoked

Bobbing for crappies is a delicate practice. Many of you saw the difficulty of just getting ones head down the hole. Imagine dealing with the spines when one swims by. Glad to see not too many cheap shots were taken at me while you knew I was away from the computer. Have at it until tommorrow and then I'm gone to Utah skiing. Scarred up face, a frostbit ear, $15-20 worth of jigs lost to safely releasing walters, a busted weld on my trailer fender, and "only" 8 crappies.... can't wait to get back up there.

Throw those tulibees into the back of Kelly's truck. I'll take them all and bring em back up smoked. My buddy makes them and they are amazing. We have em every year on Xmas eve. 2 DAYS AND COUNTING! DB

ps do the Durskey?(spell) boys come up in the winter? I had a total blast with them bear hunting and would like to hang out with them again.

Ok - time for another Clueless moment! What do tulibees look like, how do you catch them and how big are they?? I have never caught one.

Thanks!

They look alot like a giant shiner.. or a miniature whitefish if your familliar with them.

They are great for smoking, and good for frying .. but hell to fillet if you want to fry them.

Thinking the next extended trip for me will probably have to wait to March. Will be on the lake Feb.6 on way to LOW. Got to find some time to spend with the wife or I might find my ticket to the carribean has been changed to some other guys name. Noticed I lost a maglight sometime over the weekend. Keeps your eyes open for some "moron" out there trying to land UFO's. He's got two maglights now to go with that great United ground crew gear.

Halad,
How do the other weekeends in February and March look so far? If you catch any more tullibee, freeze them and I will smoke them and bring em up on the next trip. On another note, have you ever eaten filet gumbo and did you like it? I want going to bring a batch up instead of chile.

Sooner ot later.....

      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
    • leech~~
      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!
