Howdy,

Fished many lakes & rivers in Minnesota for over 45 years, but never got onto Superior for Lakers, etc. in the Winter - until finally this year.

Which areas are usually fished out of? General rigging/bait/depths/timeframes? I have a Mn. license only and would be coming up from the south.

Thanks much, Guys!

Not to rain on your parade but I don't think we have any ice on the mn shore that is walkable in areas that lakers might inhabit. looks like some chunk ice out from 21st ave in duluth, but nothing you could walk on. I have heard the apostales aren't even locked up yet.

Yea, I wasn't talking about now, grin but later as it lockes up.

What are the areas I should go out of later & the other ?'s from the original post?

Thanks!

Extremely rare for the lake to lock up. I would plan on bringing a boat if I were you. Or buy a WI license and fish out of Ashland around the islands if that ice ever locks up.

There's really no guarantee that it will lock up frown I think the last time superior had any walkable ice in the duluth area (lester to french river) was in 2007.

So yeah, chequamegon bay in WI would be about your only option. I went there last year and only caught 1 whitefish. Last year apparently was one of the worst winters there (go figure).

I would contact Jim Hidson at Hudsons on the spot guide service and he can give you the skinny in the Ashland/Bayfield area. I like the island for lakers. For some reason I seem to do best jigging big silver swedish pimples and hearing out by Basswood Island.

Yes the South Shore Ashland/Bayfield is what your looking for.

Or Inland lake trout.

      Agreed.  If Darnold could unload a lot faster off the snap he would be unstoppable.  I could see how frustrated Jefferson was.

      I think they could get the Lions.  Not as confident with the Chefs.  I’d love to see it though.   Darnold did well for sure!  But he was off a bit and the receivers made some great catches.  Then a few plays that were close to turnovers.  It was a good thing GB took too long to find their game.   Im not hatin’, just sayin’.

      Just like the Twins in 87 and 91.  One game at a time.  I think with KOC they have a good shot. Besides it's a rebuild year according to the experts at the beginning of the year.

      It was a win but can they get by the Lion's and Chief's if the defense doesn't show up?  What more can your QB do but his best stat game of the season?

      It’s for really big fires, wonderful fires, great fires, the best fires…. lol!   Really, I could but didn’t wanna right now and didn’t wanna move it twice.  I’ve got more than enough split and will have more to come every year.  This friend that DID eventually take it last night heats with wood and sometimes helps me cut up the trees.  Takes it all, including box elder.  Wood stove don’t care, he says.  Works for me.
