I can't imagine using the forums not being registered... did you all (guests) know that it keeps track of what posts are new? They are highlighted in blue. Even if you don't ever post... you should register just for that.

Lot's of times, I just read....besides, last summer somebody confessed to being an FM aholic, this way, without logging in, we can remain closet members, like sneaking something without anybody knowing we are there. I confess, I read a lot of times, but really don't want or have anything to reply, so I don't login.

I have been a member for a while now. For the longest time I just read and rarely posted. But recently I have had more opportunity & time on my computer and post regularly.

I think the stats get a little misleading at times, some of the "anonymous" users are actually registered, they just are not logged in. This happens to me a lot, especially when I am on here at my work computer. But there still is many that should regsiter and add some posts to make this site a little more active.

I get lost in all the info if I do not sign in. Register and join in. Also you can check to see who is on line and find area's that you have not been to and check them out. The "who is on line" feature has brought me into circles I did not think I would be in. It is fun, but only availible to register FM member. Its free!

I read the forum for years and determined that all fishermen are liars laugh.gif

So I decided that okay, I'll join, just to help say a thing or two that might be truthful...

Oopss...I said one truthful thing now. That leaves only one more truthful thing to say. grin.gif

Yes, there are always a lot of people viewing every day. That is why I said in some other post that when people talk about hot lakes in here, it gets flooded with people afterwards....

Maybe brag about the "big fish stories." Stories like:

The One That Got Away

I Hooked Into the Biggest Fish Scale Ever!

I Couldn't Land'm, So I Jumped Into the Water to Wrestle'm

Must've Been a New State Record

It's the Smartest Fish!

The Fish that Stoled my Boat!

My voyeuristic days are over!!!

Hello fellow FM’ers…my name is ARIZONA TIM and the wife and I have been in MN for almost 2 years now. We moved up here from Phoenix for work but the other big selling factor was all of the lakes/fishing!

We live near Nokomis so I’m out there about 2-3 times a week.

I caught my first ‘eye today which was a whoppin’ 8 inches. Nokomis was also the sight of my other first…a 9 lb musky last June. I was on a fishin’ high for a week after battling that mutha.

This site is pretty cool and I’ve enjoyed all the tips that everyone has offered up.

Thanks folks!

Yikes! The late night crowd is back... again echoing my original post... at 2:00am Friday there are currently over seven hundred people viewing the fish MN forums... and only 4% (thirty one) are members... Wow those stats are unreal! Lots of shy people I guess... and I thought I was shy!

      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
