We can see the corner below Clementson Bay and it was open there last night. Should be able to see boats any minute now.

Lots of holes down to us and should be here by tomorrow.

Doug- where is the nearest landing there? i dont know for sure what i wanna do on friday- we had VERY good luck in the ice last weekend. Im thinking thats what i wanna try to do again- hoping i dont have to go 10 or 12 miles with the old tuna boat. the 30 hp jonny doesnt go that fast!

Will,

Vidas (Clementson) Landing is open on both lanes. The break is down about 3 miles.

Be carefull going down cause there are 19 rockpiles on the US side. Guess I should back up and say there is a rock pile on the Canada side directly out from the confluence of the Rapid River (Clementson Bay) and then about 1.5 miles down are the rockpiles on the US side and the pilings down the middle of the river, so stay to the Canada side until you get a few hundred yards past the confluence of Silver Creek, you'll see the bridge.

Be carefull, the water is cold!

Are you thinking the river will be open out front? what are the chances we can just tie the boat up on the dock there? How deep would you say these rockpiles are? Im sure ill have a million questions for you- hopefully your gonna be around friday morning? Leavin here at 4 am again, but it sounds like we're supposed to get a bunch of snow, fancy that- drive home in a blizzard and come back in a blizzard! it took us a little over 7 hours to get home on sunday where its usually about a 4.5 to 5 hour trip!

ohh ya- did you get a chance to look at that new gps chip for the river at the sports show?

Will,

I think it will be open to us by tomorrow (Thursday) night. Tying up to the dock is at your own risk. Depends on how much you like your boat. I would ask you not to break the ice away from the dock. We thought we were being all smart one year and broke it away, then Clementson Bay shucked out in one piece and destroyed 1/2 of our dock. Wouldn't have happened if we would have let Mama Nature handle things.

Those rock piles vary from 3" to 3' deep and the pilings down the middle have to be pretty near the surface right now.

Drove home from the show Sunday night/Monday morning and it took 8 hours! No fun. Hope you miss this one.

Dropped my chips off Sunday with Steve at Lakemaster to be updated and got them in the mail today! What a 1st class outfit!

Can't wait to look.

Royal Dutchman did you drop off a 2007 lakemaster chip to get updated to a 2008, and if so what did it cost and who would I contact? Thanks.

I talked to lakemaster about this last week and they said if I had an older addition of the low chip and wanted to update, they could do that. Lakemaster would send me an envelope, I would package my older chip to send back to them to get it reformated to the 08 version for $50. If you live close to little falls you may be able to drop an old chip off but it would probably be best to call them first.

Couldn't be happier with the job Carl & Ally are doing here! One of the most frightening things we have ever done, giving our "baby" to someone to take care of. You are not the first we've heard from but always good to hear.

Of course it's all good when you have a fishing experience like you did, eh? We really hate not getting to interact with all the fishermen during this season but the "island" really has us running. We've always said that the spring season can be the most stressfull and the most rewarding at the same time. Looks like this one is going to go for the duration.

Just got the word from the "boat doctor" that the 115 on my Smokercraft is terminal. Looks like I will be in a 16'er for the next 3 incredible days of the season.

Glad you had a good trip! By the way, FM'ers are the BEST!

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
