Walleyedan's Guide Service


Recommended Posts

After a brutal morning of 100 mph winds and cold air (and 1 walleye), things changed tonight. I had a man from Tennessee out on Gull and we did well. We ended up catching some nice fish, with the biggest being 29 inches. We also had a few in the 20 inch category and a number smaller. We Lindy Rigged all afternoon with chubs in 20-36 fet of water. The big momma ran and ran and after we landed her we took a few photos and released her in awesome shape. Caught her on a Viking Rig!

Thanks Dan, I was just curious.

Going up to Wabedo and Little Boy on Saturday for a M.I. outing. I have not been out muskie fishing since I broke my collar bone in July. I am anxious to see how the plate and screws the doc put in me holds up.

Keep drowning those minnows.

Krats,

Good luck, hope the screws hold up maybe bring a screwdriver in the case you tie into the big momma. The minnows haven't had a chance to drown. I had my biggest of the year on Tuesday, a awesome 29 incher on the Viking Rig. The bite has been good, but the wind has been bad!

Take care,

Dan

Hey Dan, sorry it took so long to post this. Tom and I had a fantastic time fishing w/you on 9/8. We ended up having a great week and time up there. We knew nothing of the lake and your expertise worked that day and we continued to use your hints/ways and pointers you graciously offered to have one great week on Gull. Again a big THANX, and so everyone knows, WalleyeDan does a great job in guiding/finding and giving advice/pointers.

Hi Rick,

I had fun fishing with you two and I'm happy you had a good week, hope the ladies did too. Hope to see you again someday. We have moved into our own shop. Next time you are up make sure you stop in. We are located across from the water slide in Nisswa. We will be open for business very soon.

Thanks,

Walleyedan

Good Afternoon Dan.. Talked with you last Saturday at the gas station by Breezy pt... Your recomendations of were to fish and what to use helped. Thanks, We headed to the smaller lake you suggested north of 371. Did not have much luck. Your second suggestion on Pelican worked out, The 4 of us fished until 4am and did well trolling in 7 ft of water. I believe we caught 20+ walleyes and missed just as many.(It is amazing you can miss that many with treble hooks)All around 17 to 22 inches. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and to do that so freely. We will certainly keep you in mind when we plan or large company fishing outing in 2008 at Cragun's. We have used Dan and many of his guides for our company trips to Cragun's and I would highly recommend all of them... Dan truely wants you to enjoy fishing and it is not all about the money.. Thanks again

Dan is a heck of a nice guy, and a good guide too. I haven't seen a whole lot of him lately, but I still use many of his recommendations and techniques. I'm sure he'll land on his feet, and continue to provide the area with great information, and guide service.

      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
