Attempted to fish pearl lake today. Found 7.5" of ice. Unfortunately the sound of cracking ice and the vibration of water underneath was too much for my wife to handle. We turned around and went back without even wetting a line mad I'm gonna try to sneak back without her tomorrow.

cry Thats too funny man....Your ahead of me though, I wouldn't of got my wife out of the truck. Reminds me of a turning point I've come to in life. When my boys were little ones I would take them out and they would get scared and want to run back with the cracking. I would really have fun with it being we were more than safe. Now they are young bucks in the early 20's and at first ice adventure this year I was hesitant and saying maybe we are good here or go back, they busted my chops using all the things I had taught them about ice safety as an argument to keep going out, telling me I've gone soft and am basically a wussy wink We went on and were fine but man life's humbling as you get a little age on you and aren't so brave anymore.

Wa-Hooo! It's Started. 6 1/2 inches on a lake I was at, caught about 5 walleyes last night plus bass and northern and lost 2 new UV lures. Wa-Hoo!

With the season already about 2 weeks old it has been a good one. I have had my best year ever for eyes. Only have been skunked once other wise usually catch quite a few. I know it will slow down soon but it has been fun.

The bite has been consistent and very aggressive so far, but have had to throw a lot of little cigars back also.

Man this Forum is getting major technical issues. I hope that gets fixed soon. Posts are getting deleted and re added else where. Confusing... Anyways nice work guys on all the recent catches. I hope to get into some eye action soon like Don. Here is a video I made of some early ice crappie action if you want to check it out. Thanks.

Thanks Monstermoose78 and Borch

My buddy showed me that spot on a local lake. It was a really long walk but it was worth it. The hot bait was a tingler spoon tipped with a minnow head. Im hoping to get out this weekend and maybe try a new lake or two. Take care.

Made it out to a local lake foe a few hours with Andrea. The crappies were pretty tight lipped.... still, it's not always the bite that makes the day special smilefull-26589-51745-20141205_142649.jpg

Great pics Rick and glad to see your back out fishing for the year.

I went out to a local lake in search of some early morning gills yesterday. I ended up finding myself hammering the slab crappies instead. Not too bad of a problem to have I guess lol. They were stacked up and hungry. I haven't had crappie action like that in awhile. It was fun. Tungsten jig w/ wax was the ticket!

Did well the other night, took awhile to find them. That'll happen basin fishing by yourself. Probably drilled 50 holes and eventually got it down to probably a 10x10 foot area that they were stacked in. All nice fish 11-13" full-34707-51771-img_1434.jpg

      Heard that too. Also heard 38 was closed for a but north of rapids due to flooding.    I know the water really came up when I was up last week compared to when I was there in April.

      Someone said 4 inches in the past week, more expected this weekend. A few roads, including county roads that are asphalt ended up with sink holes. Lakes are the highest I've ever seen in the 30+ years coming to the area and now living here. Several people lost trees Tues night
    • smurfy
      Dang Kettle  that bites. Great to hear fishing was good though.   How much rain you get up that way?
    • Dash 1
      50 in 6 hours is great. Boat issues really put a damper on a great day though. Hope you get it fixed quickly.  
    • Kettle
      Well boat finally got "fixed" and I picked it up Saturday. Last week worked 96 hrs so Sunday wanted the day to fish alone. Boat ran great out to the spot, 4 miles or so. Fishing was great boated over 50 walleye in about 6 hrs. Caught them lindy rigging, jigging and bobber fishing watching them on the live scope. Kept 6 between 18-20 inches. After using the trolling motor for the entire time fishing, go to fire up the tiller and it bogs down and dies. Another 4 hours running the trolling motor back to the launch. Fortunate it's under warranty. Bummer of a day but fishing was great landed one about 7 lbs too

      Terrible news for that area especially this being such a prime time for tourism. We can only hope for dryer days ahead so they can get back to normal.

      For those not in the area, the Lake Vermilion area got anywhere from 5-10" of rain the other day (depending on your source). The lake is rising rapidly affecting docks, shorelines, and cabins. The Littlefork River that runs through Cook overran its banks and flooded the town. It's not expected to crest until at least Saturday, which means things will get worse. Places such as the Comet, the Muni, the library, and many other businesses are flooded. Many roads in the area have been destroyed by flooding as well. There's lots of damage. Below are two quick links.   https://www.northernnewsnow.com/2024/06/20/floodwaters-inundate-city-cook-evacuation-location-open/   https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/06/20/cleanup-continues-flooding-in-northeast-minnesota-southern-minnesota-rivers-rising

      Apparently just the motorized portage.   If you paddle you are good to go.

      The only way I could do it is running parallel to the shoreline on the "L", but with the wake from the boats and my rocky shoreline, the waves just bounce it around too much, even with bumpers tied off. My neighbors dock is recessed off the main channel, I'm going to sweet talk him into letting me dock it there.

      They closed the Trout Lake Portage down washed out.
