Making ice


On my nipples! ?  

 

Just came in from outside.  And I’ll be out again to take care of a few things but fishing ain’t gonna be one of them.

 

Oh, yeah, about 6 rods rigged, no less than 3 in hand for hole hopping. ?

When I go fishing panfish I have 3 sometimes 4 if I bring the rod with the largest pug bug and the xl maki mino. I need to get back to upsizing and jigging spoons.

I've usually got 2 different buckshot rigged up, one with a dropper hook, then I've got one set up with a 3mm fireball, another with a tear drop with flutter spoons and my standby dead stick has a 1/4 oz pink and white walleye jig.

 

Plus I've got 2 backups to try a variation of what's only kinda working on the other setups.

 

and a tip up or 2

 

depending on which combo of the 5 kids comes along it's sometimes just handling minnows and fish the whole time

I hit the stoplight bait store in St. Cloud wow they seemed well stocked. I was on my way home from work so that’s the easiest shop for me to stop at. I got a bunch of jigging spoons and minnow type baits for panfish. I am excited to try these out. I think I will use the snitch as it should handle these baits as I don’t use the rod much anymore. Now I just need it to warm up a little bit.

Let me know if you get that T rip going good.  The Z Viber looks similar.  I picked up a few this year also.  Haven’t gotten great hits yet but they sure wanted to look at the T Rip.  
 

Don’t consider that much of a review though as I don’t feel like I’ve really been on the fish very well this ice season.  Too many limiting factors...

Those T rips can be awesome for crappies and bigger gills. Have been using them since the beginning of the ice season, done very well using them unbaited, just have to find right jigging cadence.

My guess is it will be zoo out on the ice so I will be away from the crowds if I can. I will post where on the lake I am once I find a spot. It should be fun fishing with some new people. I hope @tview and @Cret Jigs can make it as well. I will tell you guys if we work together we will have plenty of fish caught.

Would love to fish with you some day.  This week does not work Dad's 80th birthday.  He is still going strong just got back from Yellowstone snowmobiling I can only hope to be as active as him at that age.

I will have times to meet up no worries. Enjoy your dad and just let me know when you are free.

One of these times I'll be able to make one of these get togethers. Meet some of the local masters of the lakes. Since moving up here a couple years ago, time just hasn't worked out. Enjoy the nice weather this weekend everyone. I'm sure Moose will put you on a honeyhole.

My wife wanted to hit Winnie one more time this year, so here we are.  We got beat to the pocket though.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
