we had a few skeeters but i didnt think they were all bad. 

 

sorry to hear about the quarantine......maybe need to hang around higher class wimmen!!!!!!!! 🤣🤭😉

🤣🤣🤣 Pretty sure I got it at work. Been a steady stream of people coming in with low grade fevers, body aches and chills. Hard to believe this has been going on over two years and people don't take Tylenol or Advil and come in thinking that I can treat a viral illness. I put high risk in the newer antivirals but it's a head scratcher at 3am when a 20 yr old comes to the ER with a mild cold 🤷‍♂️

Kettle, the biggest learning curve with LiveScope is limiting the time you spend on a fish that won't bite. Maybe you've already figured that out. On Mille Lacs on the flats I was Livecorkin': moving around with LiveScope and tossing a slip bobber rig at fish I saw. One fish took 25 minutes (jig color change, live bait change from leech to crawler) but darn I finally caught that fish.😆 I should have kept going after it came up to the bait twice without taking it and found fish that would bite. It is amazing though to see all the fish that don't bite.

Temps in the low 60s, I'll spare Smurfy anymore rough fish pics. Was mid 50s for air temp today, leaves falling, feels like fall. Head out for 10 days next week for Canada crane and duck hunting so reports will be slim from me. Crappies definitely schooled up in 14-20 ft

Snuck out last night, water Temps down to 54-56, last Thurs mid 60s. Fish were finicky. Leaves are changing quickly here, lots falling. Two weeks should be a lot better in the woods

Kicked up four yesterday afternoon and evening. Put on about 5 miles just trail walking, too thick to hoof it through the woods. Got one shot off

Haven't really targeted geese, think we've got 3 Ross geese a blue goose and one Canada goose. We focus more on ducks, especially when we can get them in the field. Greater and lesser Canada geese around but they are spread out tons of feeds but no large feeds

any ice thickness reports..........especially on smaller not heavily fished lakes???????

 

chances are i wont be up till after christmas anyway, but............

Leech lake has been 100% capped for about a week, I think.  Before you say that’s not a small, underfished lake, it’s just an example that you could prolly drive wheelers on your kind of lakes by now. 😉

 

I’ve been seeing a lot of 5-7 inch reports going into the weekend.  Sadly I haven’t cut a hole yet.  Still working on repairs and updates on our houses.

thanks wanderer.......even reports from lakes like leech gives me a pretty good idea of what the lakes i want to fish will be like. lot of past experience helps, and no doubt wheelers will be used soon. 

 

we had a retiree.holiday union party last night. buddy said that his kid was on little Winnie with about 5 inches of ice and there moving all around the lake!!

      ....and what songs were blasting through those headphones when the laker hit? That might be the key.   For me, I can always get the fish bite to turn on if I dial up the polka!

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place in a few areas of the lake along the south shore but most resorts and outfitters have pulled their fish houses and called it a good year.  Make sure to call ahead to the resort or outfitter for current conditions if you plan on getting on the ice.  Safety first always.   For those still fishing, some are still targeting walleyes.  There continues to be a good morning / evening bite along the south shore just prior to sunset.  Quality fish are being caught in a number of areas.     Most still ice fishing are targeting trophy pike.  It was another great week with some big fish caught.  Another week of big fish tipping that 40 inch mark with big girths.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt set about a foot under the ice or just off of the bottom have proven effective.   On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing has begun!  The Rainy River is open in many areas and as of Monday, March 31st, there are two boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale and the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) are both clear of ice.  Boats are running the river and the ice pack is deteriorating by the day.   Initial reports for walleyes are very good with some big fish being caught.  Most are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  for minnows, emerald shiners, fatheads and rainbows have all been productive.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  Lots of walleye anglers reporting sturgeon hookups as well.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.     Plan for the MN Fishing Opener which is Saturday, May 10, 2025! The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.
