Some real nice brownies fellas.  River smallmouth are such an underrated target.  Plus they fight like they're on steroids in that current.

The creek  bite has been nothing short of awesome as we come to the end of Sep.... Some days are definitely better than others, but even the slow days plenty of fish can be caught if you put in a little time and effort.  

3 and 4 inch z-man plastics as well as grub style plastics have been getting the job done for me again this week.  Also been using some number 5 shad raps just to change things up a bit... 😁

Found a new area of the river to fish last time I went to my previous spot 4 people were fishing in that area cant complain and not even upset I dont own the river, I  fished the full moon last night and all I could catch were bass and catfish, for some reason I can't catch a walleye on open water.

Winter is officially here, lol.  I have been finding between 3-5 inches of ice in the St. Cloud area this last week.  Pretty sure all of our area lakes are locked up with ice, except the places the swans and geese have kept open that is.  Some of the smaller shallow lakes are ready for foot traffic and have already had people fishing.  

Hit one of the lakes West of town this morning, 5 inches of clear hard ice.  Had to settle for a second choice spot out of the wind a bit... Worked hard to find the school...but one I did finally land on them 😁😁😁

Get after em guys!!

Finding between 3-7 inches of ice around most of the st cloud area. Was on one of the bigger lakes and one of the shallower ones in our area today. On the larger lake,

 lots of ice in the bays, but main lake had roughly 3 inches where I checked.  The Shallow one had right around 7 inches.  Fish bit very well on one, and not so great on the other.

 You're not fishing too far from home I see.  I was going to pop a couple holes on Saturday to check the status, I'm on the other side of the point.  Did you mark any fish on those bumps?

Looks like the temps are going to fall below zero at night next week from Tue until next Sunday so far.  That should get some ice making.

any idea how thick the ice is on the chain???????

 

took a drive today, there was a truck with a wheelhouse out from the winter access on or near the point that goes into the channel area towards the meth hole 😣🥴 as well as a truck in the bay by mertens. 

 

there are trucks parked on the ice near the shoreline on both sides!!!!!

I haven't been out there since the last big storm. A buddy told me 8-12 inches on most of the lakes over there.  

I was on a smaller lake today, 8 inches of ice on this lake with about two of that being white ice. There is plenty of snow out there, was tough being Mobil today. Managed to find a decent school suspended about half way down over the deepest basin on this particular lake. 4mm wonder bread on a purple P3 plastic

      ....and what songs were blasting through those headphones when the laker hit? That might be the key.   For me, I can always get the fish bite to turn on if I dial up the polka!

      Does anyone know if the Pike River is starting to flow over the dam?

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place in a few areas of the lake along the south shore but most resorts and outfitters have pulled their fish houses and called it a good year.  Make sure to call ahead to the resort or outfitter for current conditions if you plan on getting on the ice.  Safety first always.   For those still fishing, some are still targeting walleyes.  There continues to be a good morning / evening bite along the south shore just prior to sunset.  Quality fish are being caught in a number of areas.     Most still ice fishing are targeting trophy pike.  It was another great week with some big fish caught.  Another week of big fish tipping that 40 inch mark with big girths.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt set about a foot under the ice or just off of the bottom have proven effective.   On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing has begun!  The Rainy River is open in many areas and as of Monday, March 31st, there are two boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale and the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) are both clear of ice.  Boats are running the river and the ice pack is deteriorating by the day.   Initial reports for walleyes are very good with some big fish being caught.  Most are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  for minnows, emerald shiners, fatheads and rainbows have all been productive.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  Lots of walleye anglers reporting sturgeon hookups as well.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.     Plan for the MN Fishing Opener which is Saturday, May 10, 2025! The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.
