The fish will not spook with a good wind, But it is the mudd and water clarity the loopers and steelhead are close to the river mouths and the salmon Cohos are there as well I have had my boat out the last week and fishing has been great for Cohos and some nice loopers and steelhead. But the cohos, when you find them it is awesome cuz there all together and bitten what ever you have out:-). This cold is bad but hope it warms up next week. But when the rivers open up and the loopers and steelhead go up the rivers you will not catch them on spoons or stick but you can get them from shore on spawn. But trolling they just don't bite till they are done spawning. But it has been nice trolling this past week just can't wait to get back out:-).

It may take til the 9th to get the color back to normal. It looks like 1 big frothy root beer flaot right now. I shot some video off of Canal Park Today. Man was that cold but it was cool with everything around the board walk having several inches of ice on it.

So Northlander and everyone else who's been on the big pond is it a good idea to come up there and do some fishing this weekend. I'v been planning for the last two months and this saturday I was going to head up, is even worth the two hour drive. Thanks in advance for the feedback...

Wont know for about 3-4 days but I would say by this weekend it should be ok if the wind stops here pretty soon. Its down to 23 mph now. It could take 5 days for it to settle and get a good color back though.

??? I noticed maybe 150ft of fairly clear water before the mud started as far as I could see up the shore as I came over the Blatnik. Any chance this would bring the fish in close to the shore?

When I was driving down Glenwood at 5 it looked like the currents had cleared the areas closer to shore and all the mud had grouped up out in the middle...still a lot of mud, but it looked a lot better today than yesterday.

Has anyone seen if McQuade access is open? Or if the Duluth entry is open? Any guesses when they will be open?

Thanks

I believe all of the mud comes from the nemadji - it flows through a lot of farm land and has bad clay/erosion. Those areas are probably melting faster upstream on the nemadji where the sun really gets to it, hence more run-off.

Looking at the satellite - it still looks like that's all stuff from the crazy wind we had. Sure is interesting how those different mud lines form out there.

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, 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. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.
