Fishinhole,

I sure hope that we lay into them like you guys did. It must have been quite the trip. Do you know if Lonnie has rattle reels in the house, or do we need to bring our own?

Satch,

We may have to talk when we get up there and swap ideas for what's working. We will be driving a little dodge dakota (black), and we will have a white 4dr Chevy with a wheel house. Stop on by.

A little Dodge? The only reason we are taking the little Dodge, which is a four door, is because TMT has a minny van. Yeah that's right a mini van. TMT actually gave me his ball and hitch from his truck when he sold it!?!? That was our first sign of many. He has been domesticated ever since! TMT I just want my old river fishing buddy back! Will you do me a favor TMT, will your reach into your wifes purse and grab your ball and hitch secure it to your body before we head up to Red Lake?

Yep... "cross over" as in single to married...

ie: used to be able to do what you want, when you want and drive there in your pick-up truck...

TO

Here's your mini-van to get around, make sure to be home by 4:00 to pick-up the kids! hehehe grin.gif

I know, I know, it makes us feel better when we can call it something a little more man-ly!

Good Luck!

Ken

I have seen guys(??) in Subaru Outbacks catch fish up there so at least we know that size doesn't matter. Good to hear Lonnie's houses can be productive and we won't have to worry about getting "Spider"ed \:\)

You Jordan river rats are just too hard on each other. Not like us Shakopeons, who get along with everyone.

We caught everything on #4 red & white hooks. Most all fish were caught at night one morning we had a good bite. The day was slow but the refreshment tasted great. Their is plenty of room to party and catch fish trust me i am still recovering!!!!!

Great report!! Now we'll just have to get some white paint for bro44's red hooks. Were the biters coming on ones that were a striped pattern or just half white/half red? Anything to help beat this cold front!! Sounds like we'll be plenty satisfied just staying in one of Lonnie's shacks.

HeavyD,

I agree. I think Friday may be the only day I get mobile! Saturday is going to be cold. You and Bro44 may have to spoon to stay warm out in the trap! \:Dgrin.gif

RelatorBoy,

Lonnie mentioned that there are 4 rattle reels in each house.

Some friends and I are headed out to Northbound on the 17th. I see they have gas lights in their houses, how bright do these get, would it be worth bringing a battery to power the 12v lights in these houses?

Stewfish..........Im going up on the 7 and 8th of March and it was highly recomended to me to bring a battery to run the 12 volt lights.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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
    • leech~~
      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!
