NEW Rush Report(chisago)


Recommended Posts

7” in the north park, 5” in the bays, 3-4 on the main lake. Nice walleye at dusk, sunnies in shallow on larva, both waxies and euro..crappies hot up by Cigar with lots of people dragging out houses on sleds..and falling down, cause it is very slippery! Be careful out there! East lake has hot walleye action over by the public access where the hump comes up, dusk and dawn bite..

Fished West Rush Sunday Morning.

9 ft. near cigar Island.

Good action early, bite died as the snow moved in.

Small walleye in 29 ft.

Few crappies suspended at 20ft. (in 29 ft)

No keepers. 8 inches of good ice. 4 wheelers everywhere.

Saw a ford explorer or simular vehicle on the ice about a 1/4 mile out from Flickabirds crazy

How is the ice out of the North access? Should be a good 5 I would say. Sounds like the hole party has started, and I hope people remember the "incedent" from parking on the ice, and don't make another SURE TO GO THROUGH parking lot out there. Might get out there tonight for a late night bite, and less traffic. Good luck all.

What are the crappies and the eyes bitting on? I remeber last year you just put a crappie minnow down with a small jig and you would get both. Thanks for any info!

Snake, what time of day on Saturday did you get the crappies? I was there from about 4-7 pm. Graphed fish everywhere but only managed to keep 4 crappies. I was fishing in 31 fow on a nice dropoff from 36.

Was I too deep? Too shallow? Let me know. thanks

From my experience this year, the fish have been more finicky than they have in the past few years. Saturday night I mangaged to get a limit of nice ones for the pan but I had to work for them. I ended up moving 3 times to keep on fish and really had to coax them to bite. Its definalty not as easy this year as it has in the past where you can pretty much put a hole anywhere and you were catching fish.

yesterdays ice report...

12-10-08 The party on ice continues, with some very nice crappie limits being caught. We hear that roads are now being plowed over by Flickabirds, and walleye are setting up a great night bite over by Rush Lake Resort..7-9 inches with wheelers and sleds common now..

Question,

I have never been to this lake and may give it a try on Saturday morning. I don't have an ATV or Sled, so is it worth the trip. I C&R everything so I don't really care about what I catch.

You definaltly can walk and catch fish, atv is not needed but can make things easier. Rush is extremely busy on the weekends so try to locate some fish away from the crowds and you will probly have some luck.

anyone know about any access to West Rush on the very south end? Got hot spots near but not at, the hole. Too far to walk though, even if CJ's was still open. Just wondering. Thanks.

There is only one access to west Rush. All others are private and from what I've seen and been told, cars will be and have been towed from those private accesses. I guess they are sick of picking up trash.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job

      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!

      I had a good start to the season on opener. Fishing was slow but consistent. I had four eaters in the box by lunch dragging perch raps. Crappies were biting. I haven't been up since so don't know how things have changed since then, but I'm sure the walleye continue to migrate out into the main basins.

      Let’s start this by congratulating Brianf and son for winning their second City Autoglass Walleye Classic last weekend. These guys know how to fish.  We just got to the lake for the season. Chores are almost done and I’m ready to fish.  red(new dog is more yellow)labguy

      I tried starting a 2024 Lake Vermilion Fishing Report topic but it doesn't show up on this board.   Maybe somebody else knows how to do it?
