I won't be there until march (God willing). 2011 was my 1st ever time up there, and was planning on going this past march but the weather cancelled the trip frown It's pretty much my favorite place to go ice fishing.

I'm an equal opportunity fisherman. I love the opener just because it brings the sense of a new season. The spring jig bite is good. I really love catching the aggressive eyes off the reefs while dragging crawler harnesses in July and Aug. The fall jig bite is awesome. The early ice fishing I really like. The spring reef bite is a lot of fun also. Then there is the spring river bite.

Then we are right back to the opener.

Did we get any new toys to enjoy the hard water this season? Flashers, GPS's, ice houses?

These cool mornings make me want to drag out the old house & give it a tune-up!

I have fished LOW in March for Pike but just bought myself a new wheel house. Planning to bring it up a few times this year and was wondering what the earlliest people can get a 8 X 16 wheel house on the big pond? I know weather can be funny, so I am just looking for an estamate.

depends on what you are going to pull it with. If it is a 3/4 ton pickup then it will be Christmas or after. If you have a lighter vehicle or a 4 wheeler then you can get it out sooner.

I think it's ok.

I've been jealous of this kind of junk for many years.

It only got down to 50 this morning in the north country.

Dammit, the lake is never going to freeze at this rate.

It seems to me, with an AC unit that large on top, you could probably set it on the lake now, flip the switch on the AC unit, and make your own ice!

You'd have a nice little island of ice to float around on, strap on a motor mount and away you go! Ice-fishing/houseboat! Drift sock, trolling motor, lead core on the ole' ice rods dragging cranks out in the mud flats!?! The possibilities are endless!

Nice fish-house dude! I'm "coveting" your junk already. blush

I gathered up every air conditioner I could find and put them to good use. I lined them up along the shore of LOW with the cold air blowing out across the water. I'm thinking that we should have a path to drive on in about a week. grin

We're gonna get this cat skun yet!

      Back when the DNR was seining our beach in July I asked, and apparently they were through oak narrows.   But long way to go to get to us.   I'll keep my eyes open and my mask and snorkel on.  Didn't see any sign off them this summer.

      Nice job Troy.   We are happy with our opening day for ducks.  2 man limit of mixed species by 10am.  LOTS of people where we were today but that was expected.  Other than getting beat to our spot, no issues that would keep up away.  Not even the rain.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now TW200 so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.
