Be nice Guys... As anglers we all have been known to streeech the truth a bit wink It's not like they were claiming to have caught a 28 and 31 in walleye at the same time or anything grin

Between this post and the one on the buffalo forum you can probably expect about 1,000 portables on that lake tomorrow. Say goodbye to your 16 inchers wink

Went and punched some holes on Mayhew tonight. Seen some on the vex and also seen some traffic out there a few houses and a few spear houses in the shallows. looks like people have been fishing it this year. My best luck on that lake is early morning or late evening. Not a bite tonite, but had a few lookers and pulls.

Jeremy, crappies are still biting pretty good on the Chain. Even as tough as it was yesterday we still had a pretty good outing for them.

Fish were very active today for me, enjoyed the last day of 2013 ice season. The northern pulled down my new St Croix rod and bit my dead stick and brought my pole back up to me. Best gift ever smile

Nice fish! Had a pretty good morning myself. 60+ crappies caught and released between my girlfriend's dad and myself. Brought out the house and never used it… They're on the move.

Went to Big Watab this evening and didn't find crappies but ran in to "7-8" gills instead in 15'.Pounding away with pink plastics and wax worms I was and the gills seemed to want aggressive fishing.Finally I decided to keep some for a meal for another night.Nice thing about fishing the last two nights is the lack of wind.full-45395-40935-imag0587.jpg

Got out for a little while today, got those first fish of the new year out of the way full-26589-40936-002.jpg

Numbers were easy to come by, size was an issue in the couple spots where we found fish. Some of the crappies were pretty aggressive full-26589-40938-003.jpg They were hitting just about everything we threw at them.

Around prime time decided to hit one final spot, a small shallow rock hump to see if any walleyes wanted to play, they were down there, just not willing to bite. full-26589-40939-001.jpg

Sorry about the poor quality pic, cheep cell phone, bad photographer, big thumbs smile wanted to get it back in the water b4 the gills froze.

Awesome Rick you are right the crappies were on fire out there today iced easily 100 plus fish. We found and scored on them in the back after you guys left but size was similar to what we were discussing. Tore the ice up in that area never did locate the big gills on that breakline. Funny coincidence I was telling you that I iced about a 8 lb pike today and whamo you go and catch a dsndy! Great bite today considering the conditions it was a little chilly out but the fish cooperated! grin Nice to run into you guys again!

I got a start on the new year at little rock or what I like to call it "tiny boulder" and picked off a few crappies for the pan. full-46894-40949-093.jpg

BigNick-Did you drive from the north access .Just wondering if a lone soul can make it to the deeper with a medium sized truck.

Went on at the NW access,105th or west lake road I'm pretty sure. There is a plowed road that goes out to the right and I fished in 15' FOW you shouldn't have any trouble getting to where ever you want. I know there is also a plowed road that runs from erdmanns point all the way across the whole east side of lake to benton beach. Nice gills you got at watab Did you hit the first Island off to the right or Public access? I plan to hit that on Saturday. Is there a plowed road running out to it?

There is a fresh plowed way going from the access to what seems to be on the edge of the island.There were some older plowed areas going north/south but I dont know how easy it is to drive on.I seen mostly spear houses to the right of the access.Two houses on the south west bar and a lone wolf hugging the island. cool Nice line of fish by the way! grin

You must have brought me Pike luck smile like I was telling you, I haven't gotten one in like two years while ice fishing crazy and then this, at least it was big. My only regret is letting Bubs take the pic smile he couldn't have messed it up more if he tried wink

Tom, I got that on walleye gear smile 4lb floro 1/8 buckshot. Thought it was a giant walleye or a big cat from the mark on the vex.

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.
    • Mike89
      I'll bet she's better at it!!!!

      That thing should blow better then Stormy Daniels!  🤣🤣
