Hey all! Im new to the forums and was curious if you know any good spots for crappies/sunnies or walleyes in a 30-40 mile radius of Red Wing. I will be fishing a lot during January and really have no clue where to go.

Thanks for all your help!

I was down at the Baypoint Marina a week or so ago and did well on sunnies and crappies. The size was okay. I could have kept a few for a meal if I wanted to.

There are alot of backwaters for a person to explore. Becareful though as the ice thickness varied everywhere I've explored so far.

There is a place called DuShanes or Lovejoy landing, North of Red Wing towards Hastings on Ravina Trail that has been producing crappies and sunnies. Very easy access and you will be fishing in about 3-4 feet of water.

In the center of this Map is the boat launch and parking lot. Most of the fishing is being done 1 block NW of the launch.

that is the truedale slough and a backwater of the vermillion river. Any idea how deep that is? I would guess not very deep depending on river levels.

Thanks for the Pic Dale, helped a bunch.

3-6' of water with most of the fish being caught in 3-4' of water. While looking up Truedale Slough (I really didn't need another name for this area) I ran across this DNR web site. Lots of good information about where public access are if you page down to all of the maps.

good question Willow Cat I was wondering if Sturgeon Lake near the Casino is safe to fish. I haven't been out there in the winter and I haven't had a chance to get down that way this winter to scope it out.

Has anyone ever been down there ice fishing?

      Barotrauma and crappies

      Caught some crappies on the north end of Osakis on Nov 15th. Pulled from 25-27 feet. All laid on their side in the live well. All kept but one.

      Ice Still Forming

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Ice continues to form and make progress on Lake of the Woods.  With that being said, it is going to take some time before it is safe and fish houses are out.  Resort ice guides have been out checking ice thickness, flying drones over the ice and basically staying on top of current conditions.   Back bays are locked up and there is some spearing for pike that has been happening.  Ice conditions even in back bays vary, so for safety, please work through resorts and outfitters.   Most of Big Traverse Bay is ice covered.  There are still patches of open water, some cracks that have opened up, etc.  This is typical for this time of year and it will be a bit yet before most can give the green light.     Lake of the Woods is big and there are many areas of the lake resorts and outfitters go out on.  Each business will be monitoring ice conditions in their area and make informed decisions when it is allowed to access the ice through their ice access and what weight limits will be allowed. Resorts and outfitters have started marking trails on the ice in bays and close to shore.  When it is time to get out on the ice, we encourage working through resorts and outfitters and staying on marked trails for safety. On the Rainy River...   The Rainy River is ice covered.  Local resorts and ice guides are monitoring ice conditions in areas of the river they offer ice fishing.  As you have read in this report previously, work through a resort or outfitter for safety reasons.      Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice covered (as a whole).  Outfitters and ice guides have been marking ice trails.  The ice roads and trails are not open yet, but much of the ice has frozen smooth and is coming along very nicely. There are always areas throughout the winter where there is current up at the Angle so it is important to stay on the marked trails, both when they open up and throughout the ice fishing season, which goes through March, Mother Nature dependent on course.

      'we have more fun' I Share On FishingMN  152 Posted January 25, 2017 Hey Moose ... what size Pug Bug do you typically use?  Smaller or bigger on your locale lake?   also, do you use the xl maki minnow or the smaller regular one?  For Crappies, noticed that the xl seems to catch bigger fish but not as much quantity?  Curious about your thoughts?

      talmoon/spring lake info

      By Kettle · Posted

      I caught a few eyes... we're getting a dusting of snow tonight. I probably won't fish much until we get more ice and snow as I like running the sled. Really don't like ice fishing much, do it more for something to do as there's not much to do in the winter. I'm going to start bobcat trapping this winter though
