Icepick: Just got back from LOW on Tuesday. You can pick up the report a page or so back. We were over Pine Island.<P>The limit of 14 is also the possession limit. Of those 14 no more than 6 can be walleye. Of the walleye you are only allowed one over 19". We were into the Saugers more than the eyes so your 14 could all be Saugs. Other than the 19" regulation on the eyes there is no other size or slot on the walleyes or Saugs as is the case for example on Mille Lacs.<P>We generally pick up minnows ( shiners ) at Luckys when we get to Baudette. Riverbend resort furnishs our fatheads N/C.<P>It's also my understanding from others who have posted that it is illegal to clean and eat any fish that do have a slot on them. I would check the regs or ask at Gibbons just to be sure. You would be alright with perch however and they are pretty tasty right out of the lake and into the pan. Good luck, hope you have a great time and pound some fish. Bill

Thanks for tips earlier!!!!! A couple more ?'s...Where would you recommend to stop and get bait and tackle prior to going out? We are staying w/ Gibbins. Anywhere close?? Also, do most guys cook some fish while in the sleepers. I understand the limit of 14 fish, is there a possession limit also? I certainly enjoy eatin' a few, but don't want to violate any regulations...Also, what are the size limits on LOW for walleye?? sauger??<BR>Sounds like the fishin' has been good. Hope it can stay that way for 3 more weeks!!!!!<BR>Thank You!!!!! Awesome forum here guys!!!!!<BR>

We just stayed a few nights with Gibbins, and got back Wednesday. They provide you with plenty of bait and tackle. We caught smaller fish at first, and they got larger the more we fished. Nothing huge, except an eel pout that went off the scale, but good eaters. All in all, I'd say the fishing was good.<BR>You can eat fish in the sleeper. there was a thread a couple of weeks back about that, where two of us both contacted the DNR. We got different answers, but it looks like the only places you can't eat fish on the ice are those with defined slot limits, like Mille Lacs. Your daily limit is the same as your possession limit, and anything you eat is included in your limit. <BR>I hope this helps.

Crabby, thanks for the clarification on the eating of fish while on the lake. I do remember that your prior posts had addressed this very topic. Bill
