Recommended Posts

I have a friend coming up to LOW with 3 others, 4 total & they are looking for advice on sleepers. Obviosly they want to catch fish, and they are looking for the full deal, transportation to & from, rods & everything.

Dude's Name is Brair from Bermidgee.

Did I miss anything Blair? Dates?

Next weekend, Saturday overnight. 2 of the 4 will be ladies (one of them originally from da range and appropriately low maintenance ... the other unknown)

That'd about do it.

Call Arnesen's. See what they have. The guides love to see women there and usually treat them very well..

First of all, how much did you pay Blair to refer to him as a friend?

As for your question, I personally have never rented a sleeper, and can't recall ever talking to anyone who had. Your "friend" is going to have to call around, escpecially since he wants to go next Saturday, and I doubt there is going to be much available. Wish I could be more help.

The sled will be fine, I had it fixed for real after you fixed it remember....and only the lettering is yellow. Unless of course you mean that I will be pulling your broken down butt back to shore, then I can understand why you packed it.

Are you going to help put Blair on some fish or are we just going to sling insults at each other?

(I'm cool with either really, I was just curious...)

What do you want me to say? The fish this time of year are spread out over the mud flats, and hanging around the sharp drop offs near the reefs. There will probablly be a number of fish coming through suspended that are typically pretty aggressive. Saugers should not be hard to catch less than a foot off the bottom. Use a jig with some glow red or pink on the dead stick, and work something like a gold Buckshot tipped with a small minnow or just its head on your jigger. It will make life a lot easier if at least one person has a flasher, just so you can tell if there are fish down there, where they're at, and which baits they like more.....

You mean stuff like that nd? Cause if you do, I can't right now, I'm too busy.

Hmmm. I suppose you guys could get REALLY creative with the insults (yet clean enough so nobody has to CONTACTUSREGARDINGTHISWORD)I could just print the thread and do a poetry reading for Doecamper's guests.

Course I could also do the same thing while drinking beer and ripping lips through the ice ... with bonus style points for the poetry reading ...

Walleye Jon is over stimulated because we are going "across" the lake tomorrow to a legondary walleye "spanktuarry" on snowmobiles...

He seems cranky but he's really just suffering from his limited thinking capacity, the big day tomorrow is quite a distraction.

I can't even take that as an insult, because you're right. I caught myself staring at my untied shoelace for 20 minutes as I planned how and what I was going to pack into the Otter for the journey. Then I got up, and tripped on the still undone lace.

Told the wife I was going fishing tomorrow... she said she would probably paint the living room.... [PoorWordUsage] does that mean Jon? I mean really, what does that mean???

I guess it means I'm going fishing. I'll bring beer if you don't mind natty light, Our fearless leader dropped off 4 cases of that stuff at my house last night for plowing his driveway...

I don't think he understands I just like smashing snow around with my old truck & he just simply has better snow to smash than I do at 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

      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
