School got done yesterday so what do ya suppose i did today. I went fishin. Dad was gone so it was all from shore. But no worries, they were going nuts. Caught and released 12 smallies all from shore. They were between 12 and 18 except for one 20 inch hog. It was great. Get out there every body. Happy fishing.

The top water bit is really hot right now..... We went out yesterday and they smacked the top water.... We drifted from the camping ground in elk river to the weigh station in Ramsey and caught about 40 on top water.... The biggest was 19 inches but most of them in that 16-17 inch range. We did manage a few on spinners and tubs but the best action was on top water... what a blast. grin.gif

Shack,

Lot's of guys run that stretch with RiverPros. It can get pretty hairy, but it's no big deal if you pay attention and know the river a bit. It's nice to be able to run in 4" of water!!!

I ran it (Monti-Elk River) with a friend last summer who's got a RiverPro and then canoed it the next weekend, and let's say that my canoe took a whole lot more damage than his RiverPro!!!

If I had the funds, there'd be a RiverPro in my garage, and I would take you for a ride to remember!!!

I am sure it would be a ride to remember! I have seen the River Pro in action on video and they were not holding back any. Sure looks like a nice boat. When I do get another boat, River Pro will be my first option.

The thing about the ER section is you get hung up fast, and draging a boat in fast current is a "female dog" smirk.gif

You guys ever try going behind Sunshine Depot. That channel is white nuckle all the way. Sharp rocks and inch or so below water. Good times!

I got hung bad in the Rock Finder one late night a few years ago, called my neighbor across the river, he showed up about 1:30 AM in his boat, (after I got it off the bar,) WITH BEER AND CIGARETTES, WHAT A GUY! grin.gifgrin.gif

We then floated down river, drank the beer, smoked the smoke and hit our places about 3:30 AM! It was a great day on the water, the 4 blade went in that day for repairs. blush.giffrown.gifcrazy.gif

I might ad that my buddy is a pretty good pilot on the creek and the water was a lot higher than it is now. That year you could go anywhere. grin.gif

River Rat,

I know you are a true ER'er. I remember what you said in past. This river area sucks for fish. I would drive 50 miles before I fish the north Mississippi again. Anyone else I would of not done it for, but you stated names in past. Good luck!

My neighbor is a one of a kind, trust me. We have party'd greatly out here, and been stuck on more than one rock pile, the best one was a little race we had up to Dayton, his boat was faster but I know the creek a little better, I let him pass me on the left just into the first Dayton island, you know what happened next. He hit that sunken island at 40+ as I cut my throttle, it took an hour to get him un stuck smirk.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Thanks for pointing out the BD mistake in my profile, try again in a couple weeks. crazy.gif But Thank You anyway. smile.gif

      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!  
    • jim curlee
      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
