Kinda anxious to find out myself. Last outing had to get a li'l momentum to get out. I'm seeing snowplows out already this morning. Don't know how much we're supposed to get? Doesn't seem like much so far.

Went out last night on foutian and got away from all the trafic and people set up in about 5 1/2 feet of water or so fished from 5-9 and got a couple dozen crappies and some sunnies. Much better than thurs night. Fish hit prettty steady till around 8:30 then really shut off. Talked to my buddy this morning (he stayed till 0100 am) he said not much after I left just a couple little eyes. Will be out again tonight and tomorrow night

I heard a rumor that someone put the front end of their truck through the ice under the I35 bridge. Any truth to this?

The bait shop is in the Clark gas station which is on the corner of Broadway and Front St. about 2 or so blocks west of the channel. they are open 9 am to 9pm..or atleast thats what they advertise.

is the gas station under new ownership? all i know is it was under city-wide protest awhile back when the owners fired all the white people that worked there, without warning.

if its not under new ownership i'd rather drive to get my bait

yea thats the station. its a Indian family that has it but, its a older white couple that does the bait in there. so you are not giving your money to the indians in that sense..and I have stopped in there and talked to the owners and they are not really that bad...although a few people I know was in the group that got booted..oh well life goes on!

Here is the info on the baitshop from his business card.

The One Stop Shop

Maynard's Live Bait

9am to 9pm

I stopped by on Saturday around 4 and got 1 scoop of crappie minnows (huge scoop!!) Cost was $3.50 + tax which came to $3.75

When asked if the fish were biting, he said everywhere. One place that he said that confused me is "On Fountain Lake across from the high school." Now where would this be?

We did go to the channel and fished across from the handicap dock (16 inches of ice) and did not have a bite. We did see one big carp swim by the Aqua View that was it. Around 7 we moved out by the tent city by the mouth of the channel and never had a bite or seen a fish on the Aqua View. 24 inches of ice there, my arms are still sore from hand drilling the holes!!

We didn't hear if anyone was catching any fish as we had to leave at 8:30.

"on fountain lake across from the high school"

could be referring to the old high school, but its a couple blocks from the lake. what he was referring to was across from lakeview school. but he answered incorrectly. thats where the houses are. fishing hasn't been fast and furious there.

i doubt he was referring to the pond by the new high school since he said fountain lake. however it is one of the places in town that holds fish that nobody fishes.

Across from Lakeview would have been my guess also at the old Shoreland Heights "Beach"...

my old man stunk it up. i keep telling him to get some electronics, but he doesn't believe in them. he got a couple small crappies and bluegills just to the east of the actual beach.

I went out to the I-35 bridge this evening. Fished from about 4:30 to 8:00, only 1 14" walleye to show for it. Fishing in about 5' of water. caught the eye on a white frostee jig with a fathead about a foot off of bottom. caught it about 6:30. only bite that I had.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
    • rundrave
      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
