I just checked distance, it is 1/3 of a mile from the parking spot South of the bridge to the Meth Hole. Not too bad of a walk.

Most of the cat spots are the last to get good ice. Just saying. Be careful!

Don have you fished that area I met you at last year, out from the point, near the meth hole? Any tips on where to focus today?

Are you planning on bringing out the hot chocolate?

There is a wide spot on the West side of 22 about 100yds after the Bridge,there you will see a spot to get gear onto the ice.

I found safe ice everywhere yesterday(up to 10"), including that area. I have only fished wallys so far but I don't see why the meth area would be just as good as any.

It was a lot of fun fishing for cats I have never done that before. Also meeting new faces. Can't wait to meet again on the lake for what ever we fish for.

Met up with jdkelso and went to the meth hole. Caught two cats and a small walleye. I should have brought some stink bait or liver. Minnows were not so good. Had a great time and met some of the guys at the end. Tons of fish down there but wasn't getting a good bite. A few did pretty well. Look forward to fishing with you all again.

Actually fishing wasn't bad earlier in the afternoon but seemed to go down hill after about 2:30. Only had to use minnow heads. Always a plus not to deal with the stinky ( poor word usage) Weather wasn't bad without any wind.

Nice to meet up with you again Carl;and meeting you countryboy.

Yeah I had a blast. It was nice to meet some of the guys in person. I lost 2 fish, one was probably a nice sized catfish and im guessing the other one was a crappie. I finally caught one in the last 5 minutes being there. For some reason I was having a lot of problem with interference on my marcum so it was hard to read my jig or even see the fish until everyones flashers were turned off and, then BANG i catch one. Fishnman wasn't having any problems really but I think a lot of people were and ended up turning off their flashers. Oh well it was still a fun trip. We are gonna have to hit rice lake soon Fishnman and catch some of those crappies and maybe some walleyes.

Bummer you couldn't make it, Rick. I hope the truck and the phone are back up and running soon.

Tony and I didn't get any real big fish last night, but during one of the flurries we did pick up a double.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      i like this site!!!!!  👍 thanks rundave......its in my favorites!!!!!!

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  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"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
