Can anyone that was out on the pond last weekend with a TV let me know if you were able to get TV reception? We are heading up for the weekend with a battery operated TV and hope to get the Vikes on Sunday. Thanks.

I've tried it a couple different years and never pulled any stations with a portable TV. You'll have to go to a local resort bar to see the Vikes I'm afraid. I couldn't even get it on a radio.. frown.gif

Bring a good quality radio, and you should be able to pull in 790AM and get the game. Sometimes the tuners in the TV/Radio combos are not that good at pulling in weaker signals.

Added this link on edit, should be enough radio stations close to LOW for you to get the game on a radio.

A GE Superradio is a good unit, used one of those for years.

I now have a CCrane radio, and it is by far the best radio I have ever owned. The weak AM stations that thing can tune is amazing.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VIKES ON THE RADIO LAST SUNDAY.

I DONT THINK YOU WILL SEE IT ON PORTABLE TVS.

WALT.

I couldn't pick up 790 last weekend in my fishhouse, but could in my pickup. The Vex was causing some interference and I believe the steel on the fish house is tough on the signal.

For those of you who have a portable satellite system (like Sirius) if you're sending a signal to your vehicle antenna, you can park close to your house and send the same signal to a portable radio in the house that's tuned to the same station in your truck. I know Sirius has all NFL games for sure. You can also listen to any other station available with your subscription. I was lucky enough to get this set up for Xmas and went to LOW the next day. It even came with a remote that allowed me to change the station without leaving the house. Worked great all three days we were fishing.

      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.
