Fished Lime Lake in Avoca and iced the biggest perch I've ever pulled out of a lake. It was really cool to see that lake producing perch again. We didn't pull out record numbers of perch, but the ones we got were HUGE!!!

We also pulled 6 nice northerns out. Missed a bunch more.

Boilerguy, I was going to come over to lime on Saturday but went to Corabelle and Sara and got skunked at both. On Sunday tryed Shetek at the pubic landing on the southwest side and nothing there . Not a good week-end for me.

I'm going to be in the metro area fishing with my older brother. I'm thinking I'll be back sometime Saturday morning. I don't know about you fellas, but I'm going back to Lime Lake.

If you go to the county park, drive off the laning and head straight for the big point. Look west when you get there and you will see a smaller point sticking out. Set up anywhere between those 2 points.

Be ready, there are a lot of northerns in there. If you only want perch you'll be bummed out cuz the northerns will pester ya all day.

I'll be in a blue and white fish house with a rusty old 83 Chev 3/4 ton pickup next to it. If you come out stop by for a brewski.

Boilerguy, maybe we can hook up one of these days and go fishing. It looks like I have to work every weekend until ice season is over. I am open most week nights and weekends Sat. 5pm-sun. 11 am. February 11-13 I am heading to LOTW. I will post a report when I get back.

I'm going to LOTW this weekend. Then the weekend of Feb 18 I'm going to URL. Other than that, drop a line and we can hook up and fish. I work pretty much every day except the weekends so it may be interesting if you have to work all the weekends.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
