I want to say thank you to who ever plowed out the access and area along the shore.


Not many people out when I was there and the gills were munching hard.


Most of you know the difference a great rod makes for panfish and I the one I got from Kichler Custom was tweaked for running light jigs. I also went with a

Contrasting color combo on the tip to help my aging eyes detect bites better. I got a couple meals worth for my grandma. I thought I took more photos but I guess I was trying to hide the fact I was putting a smack down on the gills. So many were returned to the water to guard their nests this spring and was keeping females.

I heard Green lake by Princeton has plowed roads and truck and castles out there. I will swing by to check it out. Please check the ice conditions for yourself. There is 4-6 inches if slush ice so take that off your totals as that is not very strong.

Something else to just keep in mind here now too is that the deadline to remove permanent overnight unattended shacks is in exactly one month in the southern 2/3 of the state - March 6.  Plan ahead and don't let your castle get stuck out there beyond the deadline.  The DNR can and will confiscate it on site because I know people who have experienced this.

Today was a fun day with my old big boss and the gills were hungry and the crappie’s played a bit. 20-23 feet of water was key today and the fish were riding high in the column. Pink plastics were the choice today.

We just went to Ice Fest today.  Walked the carousels as they turned, did some curling and pulled the grandkids around.  They do keep coming up with new and interesting ways to saw ice though.

Had a blast in Duluth for concert this weekend and found some cool duck decoys and a sign for my dad to buy.

So far so good for snow and the wind should be keeping it off the lakes. 
 

the crappies have been biting on green all winter. 

Posted

I saw on the morning weather report that the highest snow total since yesterday is Zimmerman with 13.5 inches.

Posted

This snow is going to slow down the lake traffic. I took my house off Sunday. It was a mass exodus Sunday and Monday. It's a little different with no houses out on the lake.

Smart idea considering the deadline is less than 2 weeks.

It's not hard to find fish on a lake that you have lived on for over 30 years. I do have a few spots marked on GPS but my favorite spot is line up with the point and my house.

Ya’ll definitely have more snow in your areas than we do further north.  Took me twice as long to plow half as much in the Isanti area as it did in the Little Falls area.

      ....and what songs were blasting through those headphones when the laker hit? That might be the key.   For me, I can always get the fish bite to turn on if I dial up the polka!

      Does anyone know if the Pike River is starting to flow over the dam?

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place in a few areas of the lake along the south shore but most resorts and outfitters have pulled their fish houses and called it a good year.  Make sure to call ahead to the resort or outfitter for current conditions if you plan on getting on the ice.  Safety first always.   For those still fishing, some are still targeting walleyes.  There continues to be a good morning / evening bite along the south shore just prior to sunset.  Quality fish are being caught in a number of areas.     Most still ice fishing are targeting trophy pike.  It was another great week with some big fish caught.  Another week of big fish tipping that 40 inch mark with big girths.  Suckers, frozen alewife and smelt set about a foot under the ice or just off of the bottom have proven effective.   On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing has begun!  The Rainy River is open in many areas and as of Monday, March 31st, there are two boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale and the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) are both clear of ice.  Boats are running the river and the ice pack is deteriorating by the day.   Initial reports for walleyes are very good with some big fish being caught.  Most are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  for minnows, emerald shiners, fatheads and rainbows have all been productive.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  Lots of walleye anglers reporting sturgeon hookups as well.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -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...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.     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.
