I will be coming up for my virgin URL trip Friday thru Monday and have a couple questions? First is I will have a 1 ton truck with a 16ft wheelhouse and was woundering if there are any ice issues for a rig like this? Is there any snow cover that would hinder "off road" travel as I am also bringing the portable with and plan on doing some jumping around? I know people are using lures such as rattling flyers, slick jigs, spoons, chubby darters, etc...but any particular size working best? Sorry for all the questions but I am trying to be as prepared as I can! Friday can't get here soon enough!

I believe you could drive a Corvette just about anywhere on the lake other than a few small banks. Good ice, I drove my half ton pick-up wherever I wanted. You will have no problem with your outfit. Good luck

I had decent luck last night with a small blue and white glow jig tipped with either a minnow head or a full minnow. In 3 days we had just as much luck on the rattle wheels as we did jigging.

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
