You can say that again. A statewide limit for panfish should be cut in half. -

To renew your Fishing license before going out...New ones were due March 1... Also going into effect March 1 New sunfish regs on Horseshoe chain.. Possession limit is now 10 fish. Long overdue in my opinion ♥️ -

This is the spot I have chosen... Second pic is the 22 "winter" access.. It's located about a mile and half south of Richmond Mn on hwy 22. Last pic is of the route from winter access to the Fishing spot. First pic is of actual spot I picked. From my scouting missions, this seems to be the area with the most active fish. -

Hello again friends. Island cabin in Frazer / Smarts Bay area. We have used AT and T for many years and usually get decent cell coverage due to cell tower proximity, but as usual get buffering when the lake is busy. That being said, we burn a lot of data streaming tv through our hotspot and computer to a large computer monitor. I am considering buying a 32 inch smart tv, an antennae (not sure which networks would be available) and an Apple TV with storage. By doing this I think I should get local network broadcasts (may even be able to get a cheap portable DVR/ bring Apple tv downloaded from home with content to view non-streamed (no hot spot). Has anyone tried this scenario to save on data and perhaps reduce buffering from a low cell signal? -

We are about a week and a half out yet... As of now, Ice conditions are very good holding at a little over two feet thick yet, we have about 5 inches of new snow on top of it. Hoping we don't get quite as warm and windy as they are predicting the next week as this will eat the ice quick... I will keep an eye on things and keep updated. -

On the south end... Fish houses can be on the ice through March 31st. Walleyes are open through April 14th, pike never close. A good week of fishing despite a number of temperature changes. A variety of walleyes, saugers, perch, pike, tullibee and eelpout being caught in 29-33 feet. Jigging spoons with a glow stick or rattles tipped with a piece of minnow for the jigging line. On the deadstick, a colored hook with a live fathead has been effective. Electronics are helpful to show suspended fish. When suspended fish are spotted, reel up quickly before fish swims through. When your lure is 2 feet below the fish, reel up to the fish slowly so you don't spook the fish. The suspended fish have been larger walleyes overall. Big pike being caught on tip-ups with a quick strike rig and either live sucker or large dead baitfish in 5 - 15' of water. On the Rainy River... Morning / evening bite continues to be the best. Remember, March 1st - April 14th, catch and release only for walleyes on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River. The snowmobile trail on the river from Baudette to Wheeler's Point to the NW Angle staked and groomed. Up at the NW Angle... With the border closure, there are four ways to travel to the NW Angle without crossing the border. 1. NW Angle Guest Ice Road from south shore up to the Angle. 2. Snowmobile trails across the lake. 3. Lake of the Woods Passenger Service (bombardier). 4. Lake Country Air flying service. A good number of walleyes caught this week up at the NW Angle. Walleyes in 24 - 31' of water. Jigging with a lure producing noise with rattles is effective. Tip jigging spoons with minnow head, tail or whole minnow. Experiment until you figure out what the walleyes want. Plain hook or a glow jig with a live minnow on deadstick. Communicate with your favorite NW Angle resort for specifics. Ice fishing on LOW through March. Remember, a new MN Fishing License is required March 1st. -

Averaged 18" with a range of 16"-20". Starting tomorrow I should get out everyday while the access holds up. -

I am sure there will still be safe enough ice to venture on next weekend. The forecast looks way more like spring starting tomorrow than winter though. As far as I can see, its nothing but 40's and even 50 in a week. Its going to make for a sloppy mess out there, but it will still be safe enough to walk on. The access point could be in rough shape though. Bear in mind that most game fish seasons have now closed as of yesterday. The only season open now is panfish. Specifically targeting a walleye, northern pike, or bass is illegal and could get you in big trouble. There are exceptions (mainly on some border rivers), so I would encourage you to check the regulations ahead of time.
