Open seats/fishing partners. By popular demand in Our Area!


Recommended Posts

Whenever I look at the Metro Forum they have that open seat fishing partner deal and I think it is a great idea for people to get together for the day and fish! Boater or non-boater.

Only problem is most of the lakes are Metro, so I think it would be cool to start something like this in the Annandale Forum to see if it works or to see if people like it.

Bass N Spear, I do not know if you are the guy to talk to about setting that forum up, but I would like to see if it would work.

This can be good some us would someone to talk to while fishing. smile I had my Stepdaughter, her 4yrold girl and husband out on Clearwater sunday. Had a great time, the 4yr ols could really cast the little barbie rod, even caught some sunnies with it. Last night, My stepdaughter joined for another evening of fishing she caught her 1st bass. She is really getting the fishing bug, how she wants to catch a Northern, Muskie, and Walleye. Should be a fun fall. If I have a open seat I give a shout.

The bass fishing is a normal really good. Walleyes have been a little tougher, to find some eating size, lots of young ones. 10-12" eyes will take your bait.

Headed out to Pelican today with Bartmann, and had a GREAT day on the water! I found some really nice bass and Bartmann found some really nice crappies and sunnies. Weather was great, and it was really cool getting to meet a fellow FM'er! I am going to get some photos up here when I get my SD card to start working again.

Heading out to Clearwater early tomorrow morning...What time does Little Jim's open again? Sounds like suckers are working.

Anyways, if anyone would like to go with, I have an open spot in my boat. Haven't fished Clearwater since the spring so I may be a little rusty with the lake. I will plan on being out there around 6:15 am.

Any luck on finding the crappies today Hydro? I was on Buffalo today as well and did not have any luck. Beautiful day to be on the water though. We got to watch an Eagle eating lunch; which it then dropped and took off right over us. Very cool.

Found several schools of crappie on Buffalo, appear to be in Fall pattern but the bite was slow and size was small. It will just get better as the weather cools off. Now it's a run til it gets too cold to be out there!

I may go out again later this afternoon, depending on the social list scheduled today.

Hydro, you get out on Buffalo Sunday? I saw 1 lone boat out need the deep water. I'm stillwaiting for boat to get fixed. May need to get the 10ft down to hit the water. I'm missing some of the fall bite.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
