Arnesen's


Recommended Posts

Anyone been out of Arnesen's lately that would have a report to get a guy excited for a trip 3-4 to 3-7? The father and I are heading up then, been two years since we've been up. Thanks.

I agree, Arnesens is a first class outfit. We had our first experience with them this winter, and will definitely be going back.

I just got back from two days up there at Arnesen's fishing in the FOP fishing tournament. Out of 4 classes of fish I took the winning prize for Walleye. Won a Nice portable fish house.. fishing was pretty good. they are a class act up there and you could not go wrong with them. We fished two spots out past pine and did very well in each. One spot was lots of med. fish.. they other one was less fish but bigger fish.

Ticket for the good fish is either dead sticking or tip ups for Eyes.... for some reason they are super jumpy all of a sudden. the slightest jigging will send them running... Right off the bottom.

Happy fishing.

How much do they charge to use their lake access? And can you get pretty far out from their access?

Arneson's Rocky Point does not plow a road. Richard Babbler has an access just before Arneson's. He charges $5.00 and you can get to Gull Rock. His road had been closed to any points past that for the last week now. Don't know if it's open yet or not. With the coming snow not sure what he will do....

My bad, I was up by Adrians.. oops.. I got them mixed up but both are class acts..We still have a house out on the lake by Arnesen's past Gull Rock.. wonder how we will be able to get it off the lake if we get more snow or that crack opens up more. For the most part they are all very good at what they do. It is getting to the point that if there are not roads out there, you could get stuck easy. to be on the safe side, I would try to go where there are roads now or go in a bommer.

Thanks guys. I agree Arnesen's is a class act and this will be our third year up there.

Wisker, nice to see the FOP does something like that, we don't get that with LELS; atleast that I know of. Is that an extra charge or does your dues cover most of the cost? Happy fishing and be safe.

From Rocky Point to the East:

Babblers, Long Point, Zipple Bay, Morris Point, Adrians Resort Access at Wheelers Point.

Watch the weather, they are calling for around 12" here in TRF, a little less the farther north you go, but you still have to drive through all this to get there.

Reelguy, our FOP LODGE 8 runs an outstanding get together.. We pay $60 entry fee, that includes a monster supper and a free bar until it runs out. Prizes up the wazooooo.. Very good time. The committie that puts it on deserves a real pat on the back.

Wiskers, I just talked to another lady that was there and said it was a good time. May have to see if the MPPOA would consider something like that? I would imagine it could be huge then.

      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.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      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.        
    • smurfy

    • CigarGuy
