Labshack on private waters!


Random guy

Recommended Posts

Labs4me is always whining about "to many poeple", "poeple are crowding me", I don't "want to pay the road fee" so on and so forth so we moved the Labshack to a PRIVATE little lake today so he could have the peace and quite he desires. It was a small investment on Labs part for his own lake with his own access and his own massive school of river chubs to fish but as the selling party I feel he will be very happy on this "cozy" lake. Trouble is he will need a bridge to get to it...I'm thinking the golden gate deal will fit into his budget. grin.gif

He must feel pretty lucky to have friends like you guys, I mean to give him his own lake, set the house up, drill holes and you must have turned the heat on right????

If there's pheasants in those cattails he'll be in paradise. He'll never come back.

You can put an ice shack anywhere and people will think its on fish. Watch out! Masses of fisherman with portables will be surrounding the LabShack now! smile.gif

Looks like PARADISE to me! Boy I can't wait to get back up there and POST the perimeter of my 'new hotspot'!!! No crowding then...

And all the river chubs I could want? I guess I'm opening a new bait stand to boot... HMMM... I wonder what chubs bite on? I say Kelly should make sure all the welds are tight on the skids and they can double as pontoons and I'll have a houseboat to boot for the summer! grin.gif Good thing you didn't try it with the wheel house... I don't know if it would've ever made it back out, and I don't see parts laying on the ice! grin.gif

You guys crack me up!

Last time we were on Petrowske waters this time of the year, it was to 'fish out' an ATV and an overserved buddy... 'course that was Petrowske Creek and not Lake Petrowske...

With friends like you guys............. well it just brings tears to my eyes!!! tongue.gif

Good Luck!

Labs ,I just talked to Kelly and he said the fishing was pretty slow on big petrowske lake and that should move to the little petrowske lake on the other side of the dike ! grin.gif

What is really frightening is that Jon is so much like Kelly.


He taught me a few things...most impotant was to watch out for Halad! grin.gif

Hows the access getting on that lake? Is it o.k. for a full size 4x4 or should I bring my snowmobile and portable so I can be a little more mobile??? Oh and what depths are you catching fish? Lure colors, time of day fish are biting, etc all appreciated.

Sheepeople! Now that's funny... grin.gif

Jon, when you put the labshack on that lake, did you drill the holes out??

Just wondering if you needed an extension?? grin.gif

"A" extension? We had to put three together to get through the thick stuff over the deep hole!

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
