First off I just want to say Thanks again for showing up and making this a huge success!!!!! Thanks to Squirtis for the cooking talent on the grill, YOU DA MAN!!! Finally Thanks to everyone for being so generous with letting others fish in your houses and just for being helpful in general.

It was nice to meet everyone in person instead of just looking at their avatars.

Here are some pics of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all! I posted on the "Get together on Waconia" thread, but not sure if anyone is still using it or not?? Anyways, Krista took some pics of the GTG as well. Check em out here: http://kristareynolds.blogspot.com/

Hope to see yall again on the 1st! I will stake my claim on bringing some food if no one objects: how bout venison garlic and onion burger and some bear burger? Also probably be out there Saturday. If anyone else will too, drop me a line (no pun intended) and we'll meet up!

Great pics everyone! John and Krista, I talked about coming over and checking out your house but did not make it. I will have to at the next get together.

Maybe I should bring my little ankle biter out to play with Sunny! Will have to see what the weather is like.

Good Luck Fishing!

Hey Guys... and the two gals that were out there. What a fun time. Thanks for everyone showing up and being so generous with your food and shelters. I had planned on doing more fishing, but I enjoyed talking and hanging out with everone so much, that I didn't get a whole lot of time for wetting a line.

I won't be able to make the GTG on the 1st, but I propose having another one on the 28th of Feb out on Minnetonka. I know that there are no fish out there :-) , but it would be fun anyway.

It was really nice to put faces to names and share each others fish stories. I hope to meet up with you before the 28th.

Til next time,

Curtis

Hey it was great meeting everyone. Thanks to all for the pix too! Can't wait to send them to a guy in FL. Quote for the day: "No, that isn't a hayfield over there. No. Those are NOT outhouses!".

Thanks again John for sharing your fishhouse. The sunfish and crappies are gone. They tasted great.

"What came in the mail honey?"

"New batteries for the boat."

"Boat??"

Quote for the day: "No, that isn't a hayfield over there. No. Those are NOT outhouses!".

We had a friend from Texas up a couple years ago and on our way up to Blackduck, she was really quiet and observant. When we got to our destination, she says "Man, there must be a lot of poor people in MN!"

After giving her a questioning look and asking "What do you mean?" she replies "Well, all that flat, barren land with nothing on it and people have to live in those tiny little houses..."

OOOh man, she still hears about that one!

I am a newbie on FM, but have been fishing almost my whole life and I LOVE IT!

Anyway I was reading this post and am interested in meeting some fellow FMer's doing what we like to do best, FISHING! Sounds like the 1/18/09 GTG was a blast and I hope to be at the next when one if my schedule allows it.

I have already met Honda4life a couple of times and it is true, he has not caught a walleye yet. I, on the other hand have :-)

Anyway what is the scheduled date for the next Metro GTG? I saw it was February 1st, but I doubt many people can make it because of the supper bowl.

Thanks!

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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!
    • PSU
      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
