No change at the very top but things are shuffling around

a bit at the Professional Walleye Trail Championship in

Bismark.

The weather is suddenly beautiful and there is little or

no wind.

In the final day (Sunday) the field is cut in half. Only

the top 25 weights continue on. Here is the rest of the

field

A couple of things happened on Saturday that were pretty

cool. David Anderson wound up waaaaaayyyyy up on a

sandbar and Dave Randash came along and worked with him

to get free. After that chore it was discovered that

Andersons engine was toast due to sand sucked into it.

Randash (who zeroed on day one) told Anderson to switch

boats with him and fish while Randash waited for a tow.

David Anderson didnt have a great day but made the cut

to the final 25.

Most of the fish weighed were all the same size, real

nice 2 to 3 pound fish. The second to the last guy to

the weigh table on Saturday pulled a fish out almost

7 pounds. It was Troy Wallwood and that fish moved him

up far enough to fish again on Sunday. The bigger fish

may be becoming active for Sundays final day

Curt,

Do you know if the PWT will make it back to Lake of the Woods some day? I sure would love to fish that event if it comes around again.

Many of the Pros list Lake of the Woods as their favorite

body of water so they would love to come back. I dont know

when it will happen though.

The week of Dec 11th will be the pre championship show

featuring the year in review. Then, the week of Dec 18th

will be the championship.

In-Fish is on the Outdoor Channel, so if you get that you

know when the show is on.

It will be worth it just for the scenery and the sand.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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!
    • PSU
      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
