What ever happened to having respect for other Anglers?

HA! I randomly saw that yesterday too! See you Saturday bulldoggr! OK Totaly joking, I agree and I almost always fish a very long way away from other people- not because I dont like others, but because I find the most success where its quiet. And there's a whole lot of self satisfaction when you find a great spot to youself. Its a big lake- spread out!

Well I had a guy set up his house 3 feet from my buddy's tipup out on the flats last sat. We couldn't believe it and though he must be joking until he drilled his holes. Buddy caught two eyes out of this hole while the intruder was standing there. He also had a lab that ran around by our house the whole time. We were at least 200 yards from any other houses and I did talk to him nicely after we settled down and asked him if he thought that it was ok to set up so close. His response was that he has this spot on his GPS and we were in his spot??? Wow

Wow, what a doorknob. I get it that some lakes are crowded or that everyone wants to be "on the spot." But 3 feet is plain ridiculous. And his explanation was equally ridiculous. Some people just don't get it. frown

yeah I probably won't be out n Mille lacs the rest of the winter, not due to the bonehead moves by some people. I just have not had the best of luck out there this year.

Any fish I have caught I have had to throw back and I want some fried Walleye! Or any Fried Fish out of the cold waters of the Minnesota lakes.

I wouldn't have believed that if it hadn't happened to me last year on Rush. Had a guy set up 5 ft from my flag, I could have wipped it out and taken a leak on his shack. I called him every name in the book but the guy would not come out of his shack. These boneheads think that magic spot on their GPS is the only place that has fish. Especially on Mille Lacs, it is a huge lake! The fish raom constantly so if your 100ft off your "hotspot" you will still catch fish. The average IQ of ice fishermen is almost as low as deer hunters, don't worry I do both! lol crazy

I would have at the very least drilled a bunch of holes right in front of the doors on his portable, and played the loudest most obnoxious music possible.

Wow, I've had some people move in close, but on a lake this big -or any lake for that matter- that takes the cake. What a d-bag, can't believe the nerve of some people.

That's hilarious....I was in a bar on the lake a few weekends ago and there were two guys who were just about ready to fight. Turns out, as you might have guessed it, one had moved his fishhouse too close to the other's. I went out to where they were talking about (our fishhouse wasn't that far away), and they were close...but not that close.

Funny thing: I bet that guy was pizzed at YOU for being on his spot. crazy

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      what do they look like this spring?
    • SkunkedAgain
      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      👍. What was the water temp in Black Bay? Thanks....
    • Brianf.
      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      So, that was you in the camo lund? I'm bummed, I have to head back to the cities tomorrow for a few days, then back up for at least a few weeks. Got the dock in and fired up to get out chasing some crappies till opener!

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   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"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
