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

      Church is tomorrow, you may want to go get that mind cleaned out!🤭

      Leech, let's try to keep this site PG!😂

      I've never kept and eaten a small mouth and have only kept 2 large mouth my whole life.  One I mounted and the other I eat just to see what they were like.  But that just me. Well, I've never eaten a rock bass or dog fish either! 😆

      After 15+ yrs going to pike bay lodge every June I have noticed many more bass anglers in the resort.  Also notice many 15-18” smallmouth in the cleaning shack.  I would estimate on a daily average 4 of 5 buckets of entrails are of smallmouths vs walleye or pike.  Not sure how it is at other resorts but if folks are taking the larger fish for fish fry it could explain the smaller average size of smallies being caught.  Just my 2 cents.  Largest smallie brought in my boat this year was 19” but fewer 17-18” fish than past years.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Sounds like it's time to start keeping the smaller smallies for lunch.

      With two muskies under my belt, my best advice is to fish for pike and bass and then let a giant muskie come chomp down on said pike/bass as you reel it in. 🙂   Unfortunately I have no other good advice.
    • gimruis
      The guys in that tourney aren't permitted to use live bait though.  That makes a substantial difference.  Clear water and pressure with nothing but artificial lures makes for a difficult bite.   I don't have a theory as to why the average size of smallmouth on Vermilion is declining.  The common explanation would be too many smaller fish are gobbling up resources and there isn't enough for bigger ones, but that doesn't seem like a plausible answer in a big lake like Vermilion.  Certainly people aren't keeping plus sized smallmouth either.  That far north, it takes a bass about 10 years to reach 5 pounds/20 inches in size.

      St Cloud has a good access at Wilson park,  Sartell has a nice access off NE River Rd,  another access above Blanchard dam on East side off Hilton Rd  and at Lindbergh state park...Little Falls  has a access right above the dam.   Water is pretty high and dirty.  Crayfish colors have been good again this week.  Smallies have been using anything available that breaks the current so finding them most days has been pretty easy

      Interesting...   You're doing better than most.  The biggest bass weighed-in during the recent MN Bass Federation tourney was only 4.33lbs.   The winning bag was less then 20lbs.  To have several over 5lbs during your trip is pretty special.   Congrats!

      Question.  I have guests coming who may want to fish for muskies.  I've cast for them in August along shorelines and at rock piles.   Do I fish for them that way in June?   Should I troll shorelines or drop offs for them?  Thanks.
