Lonnie, we know what we are getting into, now we just need to find a way to get OUT!!!! hehehehehehe, it's gonna be a blast! Kennedy already asked me if she can play cards with Mrs Boilerguy again at that girl lake (Sarah) hehehehehehe! She said she would help with the food! She just loves the crowd! She has her own porty this year though so maybe just maybe she will be up for more fishin! She had a hoot last year at the begining with the large schools of small perch under us. This is a great event!

Dude, theres fish in your kitchen......

And they were quite yummy. grin

So far the Sarah report has been pretty slim. I'm not really sure what's going on with this lake. The normal late fall pattern the lake sees didn't exist, and the early ice pattern we normally see is quite a bit different.

Good thing for us all it's going to take to figure it out is time on the ice!!!! grin Speaking of ice, about 50 or so yards out there is 3 1/2". Didn't venture much beyond that.

PP, dry spell is the understatement of the century. It felt good to actually have something besides a bullhead tug on the end of the line.

well after checking my schedule. I may make this one. Help the SC boys out in the SW area. Chili, Beer, Jamison letting the auger run in idle all day...sounds like a Great time!

I added it to my calendar.

Hey Jbone. Welcome to the best outdoors site on the WWW.

I iced a few dandy perch on Sarah not too long ago. If you can, try to make this get together. It really is a good time for everyone.

Hello folks, I have never caught anything but monster bullheads on Sarah! I hear that perch and eyes and the prodominant species out there.

You can count Team Clam in for this one. I fish Sarah religiously during the open water, and leave with a limit of nice walleyes 9 out of 10 times. We will rock this lake!!

See you on the ice.

No doubt he shoulda fished the Tourney out there this summer. A limit of fish when everyone else brought in 1 or 2. He coulda been in the money for sure!

      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!
