Went back to lake X last Friday and did well.  Caught 22 largemouth and 17 northern pike in about 5 hours.  The pike were on a rampage with the low cloud deck and choppy water from a heavy south wind.  They bit us off twice and ruined tackle all morning.  At one point I caught 3 on 3 consecutive casts which were 28, 29, and 31 inches.

 

Several of the bass were good sized again incuding a pair of 4 pounders about 10 minutes apart.  Moving lures ripped through the weeds produced all the fish.

Haha.

 

I think I'll stick with lake X.  I don't need to show up and see 10 boats at the access next time, even if its only my imagination.

I heard lots of kids have imaginary friends, never heard of grown man with imaginary Lake?  🤭

And Leech is a big lake, 10 boats is nothing to worry about. You guys need to get a grip on ourselves. 

Oh, um or stop gripping yourselves! 😆

I fished in a small derby on Friday at Lake Z and my partner and I won.  I had not been fishing since before the heatwave and subsequent cool down so I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the wild weather swings.  Fishing was very good.  We caught 20 largemouth and 5 pike in 4 hours.  All the fish were stacked up on the wind blown shore where it was choppy.  My partner put a pair of dandies in the boat in the first 20 mins that greatly helped our bag.  Here he is with his bucketmouths.

 

I also saw a nice group of turkey polts on the way home afterwards.  A hen with 8 of them.  The young ones were about the size of a pheasant.

I’ve seen some disappointingly small flocks of ducklings this summer so far.  Plus anything in size from just getting able to fly to a little yellow and black striped one yesterday.

 

Makes me wonder if it was a bad nesting year with all the rain?  
 

I haven’t been seeing family groups on random small ponds (unusual) but when in the duck factory, seeing the lack of young birds, I’m a little concerned.

If it's anything like the young loon population,  there are none that I've seen. I've  read the sudden rise in water levels drowned out the loon nests .

I haven't seen a young loon all year yet up north. And I've been on 10 different lakes.

      You mean to tell us, that you live in a state where folks sit on a frozen lake ice fishing on a bucket all day. And you don't know what numb nuts are? 🥶 🤣🤣

      On the South Shore...  There is still some good ice fishing taking place in a few areas of the lake along the south shore but many resorts and outfitters have pulled their fish houses and called it a year.  Make sure to call ahead or check social media pages for current conditions.     For those still fishing, some are still targeting walleyes.  There has been a good morning / evening bite along the south shore just prior to sunset.  Some very quality fish are being caught.  Some good walleye fishing along Pine Island as they make their way into the Rainy River and various spots along the south shore for those who spawn in the lake.   It was another great week of pike fishing for most.  Fish are starting to transition closer to spawning areas as the days get longer.  A number of big fish tipping that 40 inch mark coming topside.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt set about a foot under the ice or just off of the bottom have proven effective.  Most pike anglers are fishing in depths, 9 - 15 feet. On the Rainy River...  The Rain River is still frozen from Nelson Park at Birchdale, MN (30 miles east of Baudette), which is the first full sized boat ramp that opens up, but there is open water appearing and progress has been made.  Things are happening, stay tuned as with the warmer weather, the river should open quickly. A good reminder, as of March 1st, walleyes and saugers are catch and release only on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.   Sturgeon fishing.  Once the open water appears, sturgeon are active.  Here are the seasons...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  There is a bit of ice fishing still happening at the Angle, but most resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.  Call ahead if you plan on getting on that last ice fishing trip as some areas with current are opening up and ice guides will keep you safe.     Fishing remains very good up at the Angle.  The evening bite for walleyes has been super solid.  The pike are active and big, ready to spawn.  Still big numbers of jumbo perch throughout the area.  Very good fishing reports for late ice.  Safety first, please work through a resort or outfitter if you plan on getting out. Plan for the MN Fishing Opener which is Saturday, May 10, 2025! The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.

      It's tough to find the etymology of numb nuts. Lots of guesses that it came from the military and/or cycling communities, but nothing definitive. It's meaning has no doubt though...

      Goodness. I feel like I'm on some kind of site for the mentally ill sometimes.  🤨 I know he said this but look at the last board printout!  He meant smurfy on April 29th!   8 hours ago, JerkinLips said: Because I temporarily changed the rules, and smurfy was the 2nd person to wager a guess, I changed his prediction to April 25th.   I changed it to just a date numb nuts!  April 25th! DH'O  🤭
