I went to the edge of the weeds out from the park yesterday and there was about 3 inches of ice. It varied from spot to spot but the further out I got the thinner it got.

So I took advantage of the perfect weather yesterday and brought the kiddo ice fishing for her first time. Fished with tip ups and rattle reels, and also jigged for perch. Only managed to catch one pi

Should be good to go. There are a few drifts around but not too bad. I was bombing around Friday night with no problem. Stop in to joes he'll tell you what's up.

Went out Thursday for a few hours. Caught a 28" Walleye along with a handful of nice sized Bass.

That end of the lake is sketchy.

There's springs in that area, and I think someone fell through and died over there last year while out ice skating.

Was at Medicine today on top of 7 inches of ice. Had a large walleye but in the end, he took care of my 4lb line real well.

hows the slush/snow? Debating on dragging the voyager out vs just pulling a sled and no shelter

I walked out on the east side yesterday. It was a mess! Snow up to a foot with a few inches of slush under it. Where there wasn't snow there was several inches of slush. I did not fish.

Report on Ice (West side parking): Today I went ice fishing and it was 11 inches total, 7 clear 4 cloudy. Looking pretty good so far as far as ice is concerned, the fishing is a different story tired

Hey guys, I'm looking to get out on medicine this weekend. Where can a guy park? And is there room to park with a trailer to use an ATV? Thanks for all the informational posts.

On the west side of the lake, there is a large parking lot right on West Medicine Lake Dr. Can't miss it, plenty of room for a trailer. Good luck!

Hey guys I was out thursday morning. I went to that 10 ft hump on the west side of the main lake. I walked out when it was still dark and I saw some ice that wasnt covered with snow which i thought was very odd since the rest of the lake is snow covered. I didnt go through, thankfully I stopped. It was right on top of the hump so I walked around it and set up on the otherside. I drilled a hole 30 yards from the thin ice and there was only four inches of ice. As I drilled down the back side of the hump the ice got thicker. Just watch out guys. There must have been a spring there or something and I wouldn't want to see anyone go through.

Was out last night in 33ft on the west side. Crappies were suspended, ranging from 23-30 ft. Caught about 20, nothing with any size. Anytime I catch fish is a good trip!

      By smurfy · Posted

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
