Well we made it past christmas . Those stinking Mayans were wrong and the walleye and saugers survived too. We launched out of Everets resort in hager city Wisconsin. The landing was in great shape and Steve had the parking lot plowed for all 8 of us snow storm open water fishermen. We stayed out there and fished for about 4 hours today and took home our 2 man limit. I have Brian pictured here with a couple nice walleyes he happened to pull in today. Thanks for joining me today Brian and look forward to our next outing.. full-36600-28223-image.jpg

Very little. Seemed that the river cleared out from the last few days before. Don't believe we seen more than 5 chunks and the were all at one time and gone.

Yesterday we had to use the electric to go downstream against a southerly breeze. I would call it slow to no.

We where out yesterday, water level is very low and slow. The fish did cooperate though. Had steady action from 8:00 to 12:00 catching many keeper walleyes and sauger along with too many short ones to count. Jig n minnows, floaters and even a couple on rattle traps. Great first day back on the open water.

Good day on the river with Vang and his lovely wife on Friday. Here is a picture from the outing. Our walleyes came from depths that ranged from 12 to 21 feet. full-36600-31008-image.jpg

While we have pleasure boated on pool 3 and St Croix several times but we have not fished it, but want to try. We have seen lots of boats jigging in Prescott along the mud line and downstream working wing dams. We are looking for any information for fishing this pool for this time of year. We're not particular about what we catch, walleye, bass, pike, sunnys, or white bass or whatever else my tug on the line. Not looking for specific spots but just general info to help find some fish. Thanks for you help!

Jigging bait around prescott will produce fish now. Try working in 10-25 fow. Trolling cranks on lead core will also produce. Try casting crankbaits and jigs with bait to rocky shores and wing dams too. You can also vertically jig right in from of the wing dams or around the tips.

Ross pretty much covered it. I was out today up there and did ok on plastics. Fished in 15 foot of water. Caught lots of white bass too. Minnows also were working. Good luck out there.

It was good advice, thanks guys. I was out Thursday, fished the Prescott area and south on some wing dams. Managed to put some nice walleyes in the boat and several sheephead. Minnows on jig with twister tails, crawlers on spinners and lindy rigs all produces some fish. It was a fantastic day on the river.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
