To those that are catching them, are you using flashers or just a fly and dead sticking it? I always had better luck running flashers with a dropper but lately it isn't working. Maybe just a bit early. Hopefully I'll find a bunch on Sunday if all works out. Will be wrestling in Fargo on Saturday.

I ahven't had much luck with the flasher setup yet on area lakes. I've seen one caught on a chubby darter, and other on crappie minnows from a deadstick. I'll stick to my flasher rig; the action should be picking up real soon. I just haven't marked a ton of fish yet....

Hey Jerkin'm, were your tullies wormy? Some I have caught on OT had those little yellow worms in the meat.

That's what I remembered the last time I kept a few too..I checked them all thoroughly and didn't find any worms at all...If I would have, they certainly would have gone in the trash..Just pulled them out of the smoker..Good eats...They were bigger than the ones I have caught out there before too..

Was out on Wed. morning and 3 of us caught 57 tullies, the bite is on! Fishing in 65 fow and caught them using flasher rigs with an 18" leader anywhere from 20' to 45' down, thank god for the vexilar. Jigged aggresively to get them to show up then had to let the rod be still for them to bite. Hope to get back out Sat morning.

Could be, there was 9 other people fishing out there in the same area. The others didnt have near as good of luck as we did though. We ended up giving quite a few to a couple guys out there that were watching us reel em in one after another while their lines were dead, felt kinda bad for them. They were pretty much non stop jiggin though so I really think that leaving the rod sit still when they showed up on the vexilar was the key. A dead stick line would deffinately not be a bad idea, but hard to tell what the best depth would be for that since they were running in a 25 foot column. Good luck Sat.

We fished from 7 to 10 and they were biting pretty consistantly the whole time. The only reason we left at 10 was cause my buddy had to get to work, they were still going crazy. Seemed like every couple minutes one of us bringing up a fish, probably could've caught almost 75 if we wouldn't have missed so many fish, deffinately some timmid biters in the bunch. Oh well, it was a blast anyway! I'll look for your truck Grand Dad, not sure what I'll be in as we haven't decided who is gonna drive yet. Now the guys are talking about goin after some trout Sat. morning so who knows, I'd like o get back out and catch some more tulibee myself.

Anyone been out to Sybil to catch those big hogs.

I only make it over there once every couple years, but it's worth it to only catch a couple when they're so big.

Don't need a fishing report, just wondering how the access and ice/snow is.

Thanks~

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   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"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
