Leading Edge Tournament Series 2004


Recommended Posts

It's almost time to sign up for this years LETS (Leading Edge Tournament Series), the official tournament series of Fishing Minnesota.com.

The lakes that have been chosen offer some of Minnesota’s finest diverse fisheries.

From the Bass, panfish and walleye waters of the Le Homme Dieu Chain to the Big pike, walleye and trout waters of Pokegama, this years events will challenge all who enter.

To throw in a twist to this years LETS, there will be a "Mystery" tournament held in the Bemidji area. During this event, 2 lakes will be drawn at random from within a 20 mile radius of Bemidji. This will offer a fair playing field since pre-fishing will be a useless endeavor. One lake will be fished on Saturday and the second on Sunday. Anglers will need to use their creativity and general knowledge to do well here.

Last but not least...Cass Lake. Cass will be home to a PWT event this spring prior to our event, but Cass is still home to good numbers of Bass, Pike, Muskie and Panfish.

This will be an exciting year, don't miss out. Registrations begin soon and the league is open to the first 15 teams.

Contact LETS President Chuck Nordahl at
[email protected] for more information.

See ya there!

Teams are signing up and reserving their spots. We have some openings yet, so now is the time to think summer!
It should be noted that three team members are going to be hosting these events and we are free to camp out on their property.

Cluelessfisherman (Ethan) is hosting the Bemidji and Cass Lake events.
Ron B is allowing us to camp on his property for the Alexandria event.
And Tom is working on having people on some property near Grand Rapids for the Pokegama event.

It's practically free!! unless you choose lodging elsewhere.

I know I and other LETS teams cannot wait for summer!!

Things are moving along!

We've got some LETS sponsors coming in.

I spoke to Mark Cook, owner of Bluewater Bait in Bemidji, and all LETS participants receive a 15% discount on all bait and terminal tackle for the Bemidji mystery AND Cass Lake events!

Also Jeff Beckwith at Scenic Tackle is giving away an assorted 25 pack of the Pro Series Jigs to the winner of the largest
fish on each event! From the sounds of it, these jigs are going to be a hot ticket!

Sign up now, it's going to be fun!!

      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!
