Get out there if you can!!!

Got out at 6:30am this morning, solo, daughter decided not to join me. I ended up catching up with a couple other boats I was to meet up with and worked a pattern with them outside the Superior entry.

I myself in the Ballz Draggin with 3 lines in the water limited with 3 coho and 2 lakers.

The Screwball landed 14 mixed fish.

The Balls Deep landed 17 mixed fish, 1 whitefish.

We were all back on the dock by noon.

Lure notes:

Purple Challenger

Grey Bomber w/ pink spots

Glow Firetiger Mean Streak

Depth:

50 FOW early working to 90 as it warmed.

I'll jump in with our report for Monday, 5/28

Our of Loon's Foot Landing with lines down by 7:00. First laker in the boat by 7:11.

Overall, 8 for 11 (5 lakers, two coho and one king) with all but two coming off the boards or flat lines.

Two fish hit a 57 chev in the propwash (coho and a laker).

Two fish hit a clown ripstick, one on a pink black dots bomber and one on a chartruse ripstick.

The lone king was on a firetiger bomber 40 ft out on a dipsey on a #3 setting, and a laker came 40 ft down on a downrigger on a black/white proking.

Not bad for the first morning on the water for the season.

Good fishing indeed. We fished the big lake for 5 hours yesterday morning and landed 16 fish. Caught fish on the top anywhere from 17ft out to 100ft. Hot sticks for us were purple and gold/orange.

I will be out there again on Fri and Thur. Most likely by myself. Good luck everyone.

Coming up Friday afternoon looking for help, advice, coach, fishing partner or all the above...please advise

copman, welcome to HSO/FM.

I was hoping to get out this weekend but the dang fog has got me thinking twice. Perhaps at a later date we can hookup. I will be around Canal Park tomorrow afternoon and could stop and shoot the bull.

I was able to make it out this afternoon for 4 hours after the fog lifted a bit but it was rolling in and out. Was stuck on the mn side because the guys I had with only had Mn lic. Went 3 for 4 with 2 nice kings and a laker.

I'll be back out there tomorrow if the fog and wind allow it. My boat name is "never enuff"

Surface Tension, that would be great! Even if we can't get on the water it would be great to find out what else I need to get for a good set-up and B.S. for a bit I really would like to get out early Saturday morning for a bit...my place is about 2 blocks past the lift bridge on the lake side...I'll be there shortly after 5:00 p.m. tonight. Give me a call (715) 651-6748

Thanks a ton! Tom

      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
