Anyone heading to gull rock this weekend?


Recommended Posts

Heading up Thursday night gonna pull the sleeper out west of gull rock, trying for gull rock reef. I hear that as of tonight that it's starting to get wet up there, probabley by Sat. it's gonna be messy. My camper is up off the ice so that helps. Gonna stay the night with my boy an his freind Fri. night. I hear gull area has been hot, anyone that has fished it recentlly, I'd appreciate some info on where to start.Looking for the mixed bag of fish. Hard to hit saugers over at twin island where I've been sitting in 20'for a mounth cause the eye's have been good to me. If you see a white camper with a gold stripe down the side with a black suburban stop an say Hi. Later boar.

We were going to head up and fish 16 mile, wondering what the breaker condition is by gull rock. I heard you had to go towards 12 mile then cut up to 16. If gull rock is hot it's kinda senseless to drive all the way up to 16 though. Any ideas on what the lake looks like now? Do we need wheelers with? Thanks!

My understanding is that if you have four wheel drive anything else is not needed, ya might doo alot of spinning with your wheelers, snow is pretty much melted an gone, probably pretty slushy which your wheelers could gain a foot hold, I do believe ya have to go 2mile west around the crack to get to 16, last weekend I heard 16 was slow. Its gonna be wet. Boar

I am going to setup Friday morning west of Gull rock about 10:00 am. We have a crew of 8 with 2 wheel fishhouses. One is green and tan, the other one is green and yellow I believe. We will have 2 blue crew cab ford pickups. Stop by for a cold one. We are staying until Sunday. When we setup Friday morning and I see you, we may stop by to see how you are doing. Our plan is to fish outside for an hour or so before setting up to 2 wheel fishhouses. Hope to see ya up there.

It's been awhile since I was up to Gull Rock. Is that off Babbler's road? Thanks.

We have a group coming for a tournament from work (maybe 40 people) we might even drill holes

I will be around that way tomorrow! As of last night the bridge over the crack was still there and instead of driving around to 12 mile you could cross North of Gull Rock. Hopefully, the bridge is still in tomorrow as I will be going out to one of the rock reefs. I knew 1tofish would be up fishing because his mom said he was going up. Fishing has been really steady! It does not matter what color or anything! Good luck to all!

Yep, heading up tomorrow morning with Haugen. We will be in the vicinity of Gull Rock. Wobbler, what are you going to be fishing out of?

I'll be in my Red Ford Escape with a Frabill Ranger portable.

I won't be using a house but it sounds like you will be close by. I will be in a maroon Dodge.

      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. 🤯

      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
