We are unsure what the ice is going to do this spring as mother nature is in control and it has been a odd year.

Although we have come up with this plan.

Well if mother nature plays nice and melts the snow cover off then keeps the temps low enough to hold the ice pack it could be some great fishing. Of course ma nature is going to do what ever she wants. I'm hoping for some good conditions into the end of March so we can get some decent fishing in this spring before I have to start prepping the boat.

Best to email me for this as I have a few options and prefer to keep the boring business stuff of the forum.

We are starting to see some fish at the four mile mark and several locations from 5-8 miles out.

I think I was just kidding. It just sounded funny the way I read it. What happened to a little humor involved with this whole forum gig. I love how the same people jump on others for certain comments. You actually think I was hoping for GPS coordinates. Fish move and I am currently aware of that. "I know Jonny P and that wasn't nice man!!"

So on my GPS it show different bottom colors. That means what? Muck and gravel? Do I want to be on the gravel? Never fished URL so any tips would awsome.

The colors are depth contours. 1-3 one color, 3-5 another so on and so forth.

For Crappies you want to stay deeper then 12' mark on your map until ice off. That is the mud for the most part. Once the ice is off the crappies start heading across the gravel/sand.

(I'm going to always give an informative answer you jokers \:\) )

We are starting to pull them today. I'm feeling old and wore out but Jon still has some energy left so he might keep some out awhile longer. He is starting guiding people out from shore on Monday. In other words he's in charge and I'm in my recliner. Kinda like most of the winter. grin.gif

"Kelly plowing in the full reclining position!"

Wasn't that just after the Red Chevy sacrificed itself to keep your 1 ton from driving into the pressure ridge?

grin.gif Reclining seat all the time, bent steering wheel, doors that didn't close anymore and with the bent frame it made left hand turns real good. O the fun we've had through the years. grin.gif

      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
