Any Ice Reports? I have a spot but too far to walk from North shore... We did real well last Feb but they can't wait all winter to eat. I think we just need a staedy Barometer.

Hey thanks Guys for the ice report! I have had a hellacious winter at work and need to get back to fishing soon. I know there are some out there that would love to have a job so I am not complaining too much but man has it been nuts.

As for fishing my brother and I headed out to Owasso on a whim on the last day of open walleye last year during the storm and lit up a bunch of little walleye, sad to say they were my first through the ice so I was ecstatic, we ended up with a few 18-20 inch fish so all was not lost. I think Sunday may be my next attempt.

There is the shelf that pretty much runs that whole side of the lake. You can fish deep or shallow. ole

What are you all using on Owasso and how deep are you finding them? Any luck with panfish there? If so, same questions, where, what and how deep?

Anyone going to be out on Saturday? I'll be heading out with my brother-in-law and another friend. We usually set up in the NW bay in 10-20ft but might venture out and try a new spot. I'm mainly interested in burning up some old gas in my snowmobilies so I don't know how much fishing I'll do. Don't worry, I'll try to be curtious and stay away from anyone who's fishing. I'll be in a black fish trap (it's call the Winnie)... stop by and say hi if you wish. It will be nice to be out in some "warm" weather!

Good luck!

Not much to report. I made it out there... just didn't do any fishing! The North West bay was packed!! I haven't been on Owasso for a few weeks... I've never seen so many people on the NW bay. A couple of friends of mine set up a little further back in the bay for the evening bite and picked up a handful of eye's as the sun set. (Jigging spoons and minnow heads) Nothing very big. They had a lot of lookers on the Vex. It just wasn't an agressive bite.

Does anyone else have anything to report? Anyone from the crowd in the NW bay??

I am heading out tonight, hit the bear last night and nothing so I am hoping that the weather will stay steady and the fish will be biting. I think my buddies shack is in 27 feet or so, and one have any pointers or whats workin?

I am thinking of heading to Owasso tonight after work. I live about 2 mile from the lake but haven't been out there this year yet. Are guys driving all over the lake or are there spots to watch out for. Any tips? I will be in a Pak Shack or Clam 5600 depending on whether anybody comes with or not.

Did make it out on Sat. from 7:00am-10:00am. One walleye and one crappie. Nothing to write home about but was nice to get outside. It was a beautiful morning hole hopping after the cold snap. Seemed like I was marking no matter where I went from 24fow to 8 fow. Nothing suspended though. All on the bottom. They hit on small yellow jigging spoon with a crappie minnow head. Most disapointing was I got started later than planned (2 year old gets up on Sat. but you can't get him up on Monday) and the "spot" I wanted to find from last winter had perms up so I try not to drill withing 30 yards and that was enough to miss my mark.

      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!

      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
