extravaganza question


Recommended Posts

I plan on fishing the contest but a buddie of mine wants to come up and just observe and not fish. Does he need to by a ticket to be in the contest area? I looked up the rules on the jaycees web-site but they do not say. Thanks

You only need a ticket if you are fishing in one of the holes. I've seen quite few people out there just hanging out observing the crowd. Some people just play the raffles. Good Luck.

Just tell your buddies to support the charities and buy some of the raffle tix. The odds are about the best you can find.

Hey Camp Bob...

How ya been?

Haven't seen you in awhile.

Camp still going strong?

Keeping your hair in your head with all you do...camp, and planning of the contest?

What are the expected numbers this year for the contest?

Should be another good one, but I think a bit chilly.

Good Luck!!

Since this thread is already going I will post my question here:

1.)Is it leagal to use an under water camera (down viewing type) during the contest?

2.)If so, do many people use them?

I figure my FL-8SLT would have too much interference and wouldnt work as good out of the two (camera or vex).

Thank's for any input and good luck

If I were you I would bring your vexilar to check depths and then think of not using it during the actual contest. You may spend a lot of time searching to find the right depth.

My grandpa used to tell us "It's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it." He was a wise old man.

Beginner question - How do you select your hole/holes for the tourny? Can you just pick any hole that is not occupied? Then do you have to stay in the same hole/holes? Or are you assigned a numbered hole or something???

tisosy11,

You can fish any hole that isn't taken. While you can only fish 1 hole at a time, you can move to any open one at any time.

      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
