Wow I wish I would have had a spear cam today, saw 13 fish in 3 hrs, most were in the 30 inch range, speared two a 28 and a 26, passed on a couple that were larger but not quite mountable, the yellow and red decoy I bought this morning was worth every penny!

awesome. Congrats on the fish. How deep of water were you in? Did you use Live decoy as well, and photos?

We were in 9 feet of water since the lake I'm on up here in Duluth is pretty murky, we put down a big live decoy minnow but that didn't seem to attract any fish so I put down the new yellow and red decoy I bought, it was straight action after that, I remember at one point going I don't know how a northern could say no to that action, I didn't even have the words out of my mouth before one came flying into the hole and smashed the decoy, once i get my camera back I'll throw up some pics!

Northspear there's a couple good lakes up in this neck of the woods. Right now the travel is absolutely terrible so unless you have a sled its pretty tough to get around. Grand and Fish are the two best for numbers and decent size. I'm still trying to get brave enough to try Pike Lake, its 60 ft deep, crystal clear, and a big bowl, but man do the dnr surveys look promising

Did you see the hog on the front page of the outdoor news today? Must eat really well to be 33 lbs at 45 inches

I think that fish was from the Brainerd area and if it is there was a 26lber that was taken one or two days before that one. I met the guy that is the uncle of the guy that got that fish if its the same fish.

A 33lb. metro fish!

A healthy diet of rainbows can do that to a fish.

Mike Carroll is the guys name, it said he is from Scandia and he got it somewhere in Washington county on Jan. 21.

      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
