A head or cap light is useful. On new water I like to check out a few spots before it gets dark to lay some gps trails and get comfprtable. I try to lay things out where they are easy to find and keep it simple. You can see surprising well at night especially with a full moon as long as you don't blind yourself with bright lights. Also dim your electronics a bit will help out. You'll need something to measure fish with as well.

Ps...

Don't forget a camera!

I used to use an electric lantern in the boat, but I switched a few years ago to a headlamp, and I'll never look back. In my opinion, they're very, very worth the money. You don't need an expensive one, either. I get good ones for $10 or $15....money well spent. Just my .02.

Sounds like Appledorns is booked solid

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to stay?

Might be able to get a camper if that would be an option

Thanks for any help

Depends on how far you want to drive, I guess, and if camping out is an option. I hear it's perfect "sleeping weather" that time of year. smile

Garrison Inn and Suites would be a bit of a haul, but you might have luck with vacancy there, too.

I use both. The headlamp is good for small tasks but a lantern is great for line tangles.

A lantern also lights up the area good to alert an incoming boat.

i will clarify what i know (not trying to start bad rumors or anything)....i called this am for buffet, they said room was currently booked to capacity, i assumed this meant for seminars as well, will call again to check that

k...just got off phone, person thought seminar/buffet was all one item but will check with manager to see if that is the case or not. dont know if "drop ins" for seminars is ok or not, maybe someone setting this up with the resort can chime in on here regarding that.

Due to the the demand currently the Appeldoorn's seminar room is maxed to capacity.

We are working on another option in order to be able to handle more people for this event.

We have started a list of names and when we come up with a viable option we will be calling and letting folks know.

I guess I didnt know there was a sign up other than booking a room or the buffet. Can a person still come for the prize drawings and contest rules?

Yes, you can come for the seminars, prize drawings and contest rules.

We are looking at options to increase the amount of folks who can join in on the buffet.

This is going to be fun. Bring the family & friends if you'd like.

McQuoid's Inn is sending one of their top year round fishing guides, Mike Verdja, to speak at the seminar.

Mike will go over full moon trolling as well as Pre-Ice and early ice, ice fishing on Mille Lacs.

    • leech~~
      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?  
    • smurfy
      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆
    • Brianf.
      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
