Are you serious??? Did you look at a map before you posted this???

No.. im kidding.. north of brainerd on 371, it's where you will first see gull lake on the left. Cant's miss it. look for signs...

Ernies ice road?? The best I can tell ya is "Ernie's" is north of brainerd also... go north untill you see a gas station and a bar called Bada Bing take a left on gull dam road and a couple miles down you will see a sign for ernies. if you get to a double arrow you went too far.

hope this helps

If you go in to the DNR website and click on lake finder and put in Gull Lake you will find out where Hole In The Day Bay is . I believe it is in the Northwest portion of Gull.

Good Luck Fishing!

Just go to the Dnr LAkefinder website. Even though you are looking for Gull lake, type in "Round Lake" and then look for topographic maps. Between Round and Gull is Highway 371 - go up the highway less than a mile and you will see an Eastern bay on Gull Lake. This is Hole in the Day Bay. Access is off of Ojibwe Road (also called County Road 115)

Hole in the day access is off of Co Rd 115, but not off of Ojibwa Rd. It is a little screwed up how they named the roads. Co. Rd 115 starts as Ojibwa Rd. on the south end of Round lake, but turns into Nashway Rd. once on the north side of Round.

This is the easiest way I can explain on how to get to the Hole in the day access. While northbound on Hwy 371 you will first see North Long Lake on the right side. Continue north and you will see Round Lake on the right hand side. Across the Hwy from Round lake you will see a few resorts on your left hand side, they are Interlachen, Gull Haven, and Bay Colony. About 1/4 mile north of the resorts you will see signs for Co Rd. 115 (Nashway Rd). Nashway Rd. is a right turn, but if you turn left at this intersection it will bring you one block right to the landing.

      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. 🤯

      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
