Went fishing on coon lake with my brother and we caught some gills but nothing over 6 inches. It was great to hang out with my brother for the day. 
 

turkey ? season was short because of the projects we had going on and smashing my foot with a table. One of the 3 days I got to hunt my wife wanted me home so I left a gobbling turkey and less than an hour he came 3 yards from the blind. I will have one to look forward too next spring.

What is everyone up too? Working on finishing up some projects around the house. Keeping Finn in shape for hunting season and working on slimming down so I am ready for hunting season. Making some plans to try the teal season and a early grouse hunt up to the cabin.

I have been bass fishing.  The water levels are extremely low.  But fishing has been OK, not great.  I don't go when its blistering hot out though, too much for this guy.

Thanks...its hasn't been nearly as good as last season though so far.  Water levels are extremely low.  If we don't get a monsoon of rain soon, I won't even be able to fish the rum this season.?

I fished the rum yesterday, lowest I have ever seen. Fished for several hours and caught two very small walleye and one really small smallie

It might be wading time and hope to find a deeper hole they should be loaded with fish

If you can find a deep hole they'll definitely be there

Went fishing with good friend yesterday and two of his kids. Boy did we have fun catching gills 12-13 feet of water. Jigs and leeches under a float about 10 feet down. I don’t know how many we caught but it was a large number.

I generally float it from one canoe access to another and it takes about 4-5 hours.  We can cover a lot more water that way and target areas that receive almost no fishing pressure since both sides of it are private, heavily wooded land.  We'll stop at the deeper holes and anchor and fish them more thoroughly too.  Wading may be the only option at this point but I am still holding out for a flood of epic proportions to bring the water levels back up.  Plus the bottom is covered in rocks where I fish and walking on that slippery stuff is ripe to roll an ankle.

 

Apparently 1988 was worse than this but I was not living here at the time.  I didn't move here until 1993.

I have seen geese with tiny little babies again and some tiny ducklings too. Kind of late start I hope they can fly before opener. 
Hearing green lake has a crappie bite going on watch for the surface feeding on bugs. Lots of nice looking bucks running around on my way to and from work.

Yah, it’s been interesting on the waterfowl.  I’ve seen goslings super early this year in the metro and then very small ducklings or none with the hens further north as recent as a week ago.  Other shore birds were still sitting their nests too.

 

I hope we don’t lose a lot of young mallards and woodies in the early teal season.

I hope people can learn to identify ducks. Finn and I will be out for teal season. As the breeder has litter due the end of July so Finn will be getting a sister as long as there is a chocolate female. That means our duck season will be reduced to Sunday’s  for this season.

I think there will be a reasonable amount of non-teal shot during the early teal season.  We'll never know though, as any accidental non-teal taken aren't likely to be reported.  Also, you can expect it to be VERY hot and humid.  Like hunting in a Florida swamp.

But Finn and I give it shot for fun.

      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
    • leech~~
      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!
