There is a satellite view to look at. You have to select most recent date from the drop down. Sometimes helps to click on False Color also. Looks like it might be open to Manitou. Hard to say for sure. Clementson's report says Open down the middle at Indus.

What is a rough time frame for us to be out there fishing. I am trying to open up a couple blocks of time but not sure when to aim for. Any help would be great. Are we looking in early April or Late March?

The way its going and the forecast for this next week, I wouldn't be surprised to see water at Birchdale by Friday. Hibbing's forecast is for mid-40's all week!!

I think fishing will start around next weekend/early the following week. I think if you plan for any weekend after the 20th you will be fine. With that being said if the warm temps stay steady or increase much the melt could be "too fast" meaning a early end to good water conditions.

Hey Fellas, I am looking for some expert advice. I have reservations for the weekend of the 27. Should i stick with them or should i bump it up to the 20th? The longer the better for the big fish right. I understand the roll of the dice as far as waiting to long and the forks blowing out.

The 10 day forecast up there has me wondering this question: What is the historical precedent of an EARLY forks busting loose, but then having the chocolate milk flush through the system to provide a hot bite POST forks flush?

I've always shot for the window between ice out and muddy up...this year I wonder if it will be early enough that it's better to wait?

I want to move up there next week and fish every day until April 15th to make sure I don't miss something...

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      Bait

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol
