Finally made it back up to Vermilion after 20 days off. The ice out from McKinley Park was in very good condition. I walked out 5/8 mile with my portable in the morning and I didn't find any water or slush on the ice. I had 14 inches of ice with only the top 1 inch being white. The ice was a little bumpy in spots and smooth and slick in others. Snow cover was less than 50 % as shown in the pictures below, looking back at the landing and out from the bay. Many full size pickups were driving all over and there were a lot of larger wheel houses out. I hauled my small skid house out with my side-by-side in the afternoon and was very happy to be in it after dark when the wind really started to pick up. Felt bad for the portables around me that were picking up in those conditions. When I drove off just before 7pm, the drifts were getting much bigger and there was much more bare ice than earlier in the day. Fishing was quite good in the morning. Best bite was between 915 and 1045. The walleyes preferred the smaller rainbows and chubs and wouldn't touch a very large rainbow and shiner that I tried for a while. The walleyes were quite small with the biggest being only 14 inches. I did manage to catch a 29 inch northern, my biggest pike in many years. Good luck fishing, enjoy the lake, and please pick up your trash. -

For sound to return doesn't it need like, well a chamber, hills, valleys. 🤔 The Internet? Um, sorry there's no hot redheads on this site screaming out in the wilderness for you!! -

You might want to let them know that the 'echo' they returned from across the lake has gone viral! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEQJ6lmxco0/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet As of right now, 2.6 million views on Instagram and 1.1 million on TikTok...and climbing.

I went one last time yesterday afternoon with a friend for a few hours. We each got one, and we each missed one. Raised about 20 birds at four spots, plus one deer. Unfortunately, the season is now over. It was a superb season though. Second best season I've had with this dog. She just had her 13th season. I hope she can do it again next year. I'll be sorting my sock drawer now for a couple months... -

He can have this one! Haha! We shoulda maybe stayed on top in 14 but we could see the bottom so clearly and it was shallower than we really wanted. The quick deeper water check yielded perch and pike right away, so we moved. Caught plenty before dark, now pretty quiet. I have a hunch the bay WILL fish shallower than the main lake we’re used to. 16 inches of good ice out here. -

Thanks for reminding me to make sure that one is in the fish house! It’s tradition that we watch that on the first trip every year.

Question
MSRiverdog
Last year I upgraded my factory software, big mistake. Anybody get the original stuff from Eagle? I know they do send it out, they were supposed to send it to me and didn't.
