I am planning on staying in a sleeper out at Randall's the 21st and 22nd of this month, and I am wondering what the ice conditions will be like. I was just up to LOW last weekend, and there had to have been 44"+ of ice. Does anyone think the ice will not be safe around this time?<P>Thanks in advance for the advice.<P>Ole

Oh I'm sure it'll be plenty thick. You might not want to drive your 18-wheeler out there then, but it should be fine.

Don't you have to have your permanent houses off the ice by March 15th? And after that only portable ones until midnight

You can keep houses out until March 31 at lake of the woods. Is is different since is is border water MN/Canada, than the March 15 deadline for the other inland lakes in Northern MN. You can find the Dates on page 54 of this years 2003 regulation book.<p>[This message has been edited by iffwalleyes (edited 03-12-2003).]

Hi Ole-<BR>Im planning on being at Randalls that weekend too. Have you stayed at Randalls before? What's it like? Can we drive out to the house with our vehicles? Thanks for any info that you may have about Randalls.<BR>Thanks<BR>

Hawkeye1,<P>This will be my 4th trip to Randalls, and I will keep going back. Never had a bad time or bad service. I have heard other guides talk bad about them, I guess they don't get along too well. I would recomend them to anyone. I always stay in a sleeper too, so the cabin experience should be a good one as well. I was up there last weekend and it was slow, but they put us on some pretty big fish. The biggest wally we could land was about 25", but we had many many pigs on that we lost. I think the big ones are moving.<P>Ole

      When I was deer hunting last fall, the obvious explosion of wildlife then was evident then too.  I saw over 50 deer, 20+ turkeys, and too many pheasants to count in a week.  Nothing has changed.  These mild fake winters have to be playing a big role in survival.  And if we get another good reproductive cycle in June, I would expect another booming fall season.

      Ya, 120.00 sux. I have Access Broadband, they just raised their rate from 50.00 to 75.00. I'm lucky to get 3 to 5 mbts up or down, sometimes I'll get better. In fairness to them, they have been great trying to respond to my needs, but just can't improve my service. They said that they doubt I'll ever be able to stream a Wild game. I just purchased a new streaming box and it buffers none stop. With the new streaming box and the referral discount, I'll be able to cancel Sling, so, I'll save about 10.00 on my monthly bill. That's what I told my wife 😀 it's true...

      That's a better price than when I bought a few years ago. I pulled the giant box across the ice on an old Radio Flyer sled late winter.   Good luck. You'll enjoy Starlink, except for paying the bill. Mine was originally $100/mo, then $110/mo, then they said I was in a low usage area so they dropped my bill to $90/mo for the last two years. I just got a letter a month or so ago saying that we are now in a "high usage" area so they raised it to $120/mo.

      I did the app thing. The best place is the middle of my yard and that's not going to happen. I have a tripod stand and a "J" type stand. I've also looked at trimming some trees for a better view of the sky. Once I get it, I'll have to try different areas. Maybe I'll have to hire a guy to climb my tree and install it- I've seen YouTube videos on that. Middle of my roof looks to be somewhat clear, but I don't like to put holes in the shingles. Plus, it's a 12/12 pitch and I don't have Velcro shoes. If anyone is looking to buy Starlink, it's on sale till 4/30 at $159.00. If you do buy it, I can give to a referral code and we'll both get a free month.

      With the current conditions and weather forecast I would still stick to Sunday, May 4th.  I almost guarantee Vermilion will be ice-free by the opener on May 10th.  Very likely someone on the list will have the correct date.

      Black Bay began opening yesterday afternoon. I could see ice moving around in the middle.

      I've got it too. It works great if you can get a clear view of the sky, works decent if there are blockages. I had to take down two trees and still have branches that reach out and interrupt.   Some people have their dish mounted on shore which probably helps a lot. You can download the Starlink app and then walk around your property. It will assess any spot to see if you'll get enough coverage.

      I've seen them at the Cub in Minnetonka and just a few weeks ago, the Cub in Chanhassen. The little smelt, smaller than sardines.
