Guessing the foot of new snow we just got is gonna make things tough as far as lake travel and slush issues...

Got out yesterday with snowmobile for a few hours.  No slush til I drilled a few holes. Probably could have used atv but didn't want to chance getting stuck.  Only a couple people out and  most houses were pulled off. Found some eager sunnies.  Probably caught 1 keeper for every 4 but lots of fun.  May make for a mess next Saturday at the EV fishing contest.  Looking forward to winning once.😁.

My step brother got a 37 in northern yesterday in the Clear Lake area.

Good luck everyone.

Yep, strange year for sure.   Hearing still a lot of slush in places yet, despite the cold weather.  Friend said lakes on chain in better shape this week,  someone  even plowed a couple roads on Cedar and Shoe I was told.

I saw a couple pictures from Pearl Lake with holes open in 2 or 3 areas.  Also was told the access has a hole everyone is driving around.   I haven’t been there this year yet, and now maybe I’ll avoid it.

Have heard this too, just to the east.  Some of it has firmed up, but its not concrete.  Plus now I'm seeing another warm up, potentially 40 degrees by Sunday.

Not likely, Saturday will likely be warmer than Sunday, there should be a cold front that passes by on Sunday.  

 

Saturday should be in the high 20s to low 30s and Sunday in the mid-upper 20s.

That's really odd that you don't know the lakes right there.😂  Some darn good fishing for quite a few different species within spitting distance of your back yard..lol.

He leaves all his fishin stuff at the cabin.  
 

Plus, there’s an odd affliction some of us have.  We have to get away from every day home life to concentrate on our passions.

 

I’m already going on 8 years in my new location and don’t feel like I’ve even scratched the surface of the possibilities around here.  2-3 hours a week (if even) isn’t enough.  I have to start concentrating like it’s a destination or give up all my responsibilities and ignore the family to do better.

 

I’ll take a week off and fish every daylight hour in Ontario but have yet to take even 1 day off to fish around home.

 

I used to know ‘Shoe like the back of my hand - when I lived in Brooklyn Park and Ramsey.  It was #1 on my favorite list in my tourney years.

You're right.  When I saw the forecast before I posted this, they said Sunday was warmer.  I just checked two weather sources and now it says Saturday is warmer.

 

Either way, its gonna be warmer.  Haha

Exactly, I seem to in my mind put a 20mile "Dead zone" ring around the cities I must get by to find any good fishing. The only Shoe lake I fished had a Moose swimming in it! 😆

      ....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!

      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.
