Had my permanent out there 3 years ago or so and had some good luck with the crappies. Any work on the ice out there right now? People driving out? I'm thinking about fishing the area this weekend, haven't been up there in a few years now. Thanks!

Hopefully it wasn't made on purpose. I hate it when people think that just because they live on a lake that it "theirs".

I fished bone lake this past summer, the few days I fished it I fished hard early morning all the way to dark. Panfish on a flyrod were a hoot, thick schools by trees at shore that fell into the water. Decent numbers of bluegills over 6'' with a few nice ones in the mix, but not tons. However I did not find any nice crappies. Dozens landed, biggest didn't break 10'', most were dang small. If you have better luck let me know, maybe I was just in the school of young'ns laugh

I was thinking of hitting up this lake sometime soon since I'd enjoyed it this past summer.

Both bluegills and crappies can be found by working the two major holes in the lake. I recommend drilling a lot of holes and searching for the bigger fish because you'll have to do some sorting to find the nicer ones. There are good sized crappies (10"+) and bluegills (9"+), but you'll have to do some searching for them. The crappie bite tends to be much better during the low light periods. Because the water is so stained, look towards brightly colored or even glow jigs to entice them into biting.

Good Luck.

Hit Bone with a buddy this morning. Found a few small pannies in about 22-24FOW. We started out near the point (I think - my GPS went out on my Navionics app) and worked our way deeper. Had to drill some holes, fish, and drill some more. Not a stellar day on the lake, but it was fun no less. Next time I'm driving out though.

Ice was 18"ish thick.

Hit Bone for the first time this season last night. Caught some small panfish that were very, very finicky.

I had 13" of ice (on the tape) on the east side of the lake where it starts necking down to the narrows with 2" of white shtuff. It looks like some folks have been driving out already but I'm going to wait for another 5" or so before I do.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      Bite Continues Very Good

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
