We’ve moved 3 times now. We were too deep up in the bay according to what reports we’ve been seeing. Plus this cold front has been a bit nasty. Reports from people on Red were they got slower too with the front. Pike and perch were fierce though. Great spot to bring people that just want to catch fish. But bring lots of minnows. We had to go get more during our move to Highbanks yesterday. I never did get to really explore the bay for the better panfish and pike spearing. Too cold and windy to be casual about anything. we left there with a couple pike over 26 and some 10-12 inch perch. The couple walleyes we got were 18.5 and 23.5. I let the 23.5 go but maybe shouldn’t have? It was the first one. Protected slot is 18-23 out here. Went to a proven spot out of Highbanks for last night. Pike, perch and better walleyes. Starting to get a decent bucket going with 17.75’s. Otherwise they’ve been in the slot. They only bite when you’re about buck neked so only 1 pic that I’ll put here. You’re welcome! -

You would be remiss if you don't look at Vortex. I bow hunt as well and I had a pair of Bushnell something or other and then upgraded to the Vortex. Amazing how clear and lightweight they are. I wear them on a bino harness and don't even know they are. Mine were right around 200 bucks, but worth every penny. -

Finally made it back up to Vermilion after 20 days off. The ice out from McKinley Park was in very good condition. I walked out 5/8 mile with my portable in the morning and I didn't find any water or slush on the ice. I had 14 inches of ice with only the top 1 inch being white. The ice was a little bumpy in spots and smooth and slick in others. Snow cover was less than 50 % as shown in the pictures below, looking back at the landing and out from the bay. Many full size pickups were driving all over and there were a lot of larger wheel houses out. I hauled my small skid house out with my side-by-side in the afternoon and was very happy to be in it after dark when the wind really started to pick up. Felt bad for the portables around me that were picking up in those conditions. When I drove off just before 7pm, the drifts were getting much bigger and there was much more bare ice than earlier in the day. Fishing was quite good in the morning. Best bite was between 915 and 1045. The walleyes preferred the smaller rainbows and chubs and wouldn't touch a very large rainbow and shiner that I tried for a while. The walleyes were quite small with the biggest being only 14 inches. I did manage to catch a 29 inch northern, my biggest pike in many years. Good luck fishing, enjoy the lake, and please pick up your trash. -

I went one last time yesterday afternoon with a friend for a few hours. We each got one, and we each missed one. Raised about 20 birds at four spots, plus one deer. Unfortunately, the season is now over. It was a superb season though. Second best season I've had with this dog. She just had her 13th season. I hope she can do it again next year. I'll be sorting my sock drawer now for a couple months... -

He can have this one! Haha! We shoulda maybe stayed on top in 14 but we could see the bottom so clearly and it was shallower than we really wanted. The quick deeper water check yielded perch and pike right away, so we moved. Caught plenty before dark, now pretty quiet. I have a hunch the bay WILL fish shallower than the main lake we’re used to. 16 inches of good ice out here. -
