A coworker said he is going out on Koronis after his shift...a buddy of his said he is Ice fishing on the lake. Co worker is from Arizona, and doesn't know lakes....I told him no way, and to wear a life jacket. Anyone hear of fishable ice on Koronis?

Well as for Koronis I say highly doubtfull but not impossible. I was fishing out in a boat last week out there and the only ice pack was the small bay out from the 55 access. most of the lake was completely open. Koronis is one of the last lakes locally to freeze. Yesterday most of the chain, grand, and big were all open today they are all ice capped :)  Things are looking better but imo safe ice locally is about 2 weeks out.

I know of a lake with over 40 portables on it less than a half tank of gas away.  Don't stick around here guys.

We got right around 6 inches up here in Brainerd on rice lake. Seen guys in portables tonight. Drilled a couple holes and was hard to get a full grip on the ice it was that thick. Guys are catching nice crappies, sunnies, perch and even some walleyes out there in 20 fow

I can see a couple of portables on elk lake from my driveway.  I can also hear a ton of geese out there.  Seems pretty gutsy to be out there already considering it just refroze Thursday night.

One would think that with all the talk on here about the Ice NOT being Safe that people would just relax and wait. I know that I am in No hurry to die.  Make your choices based on common sense , not the it to be out ice fishing. Apparently someone went swimming to in southern Mn and LOST all of his gear but was able to get himself out. He probably learned his lesson the cheapest way possible.  Mike

I might add that I was told ice on one lake was 4" thick, I didn't find that. Don't go by what you've heard without checking for yourself. The center of the lakes freeze last most times and could be way thinner than out 20 yards from the access.

I would agree with you Naturboy in most instances.  I was out on a lake last night that the ice held through all the warm weather.  The snow near shore insulated the ice.  There was only 2.5" near shore with slush and crusted ice for the first 50'.  After that initial 50' I found 4"-5" the rest of the way out.  Long story short check the ice for yourself, be careful and wear picks around your neck.  It was good to get though.  Fishing was good.

Don, your buddy is out on Becker like he always is....as early as possible.  The very SE corner of Becker was iced over....but looked very thin from the highway.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      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.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
