I really enjoy a lot of FM members. So I can't really say they are the best but here are 2 of many...

@IceHawk and @Borch

Thanks Rick.   Lots of great folks here I would love to spend time on the water, ice or woods with.   Hopefully we get a chance doing to do so soon.  I really enjoy when we can get together and have fun!

The community here is the draw, not necessarily individuals.  Through the years I have been taught many things by reading posts of all the wise ones.  I really enjoy(ed) reading reports from Eyeguy, RickG, and Icehawk.  Heck I purchased my boat From Cliff, really miss his Vermilion expertise.  Borch, is probably single handedly responsible for me figuring out how to hunt a turkey, he probably doesn't even know it either!

I have personally met/know SmellEsox and Wanderer, they are couple of the finestest gentlemen I know.

This forum is still the best of its kind.

Agree it's hard to pin that.  Besides getting great input when needed, I really enjoy the fishing reports when I am landlocked I can live through them.  Reports that give some idea of the technique, type of fish, and area of the state that is all I need.  I guess for that reason I sort of like JBMaster Angler and Monster Moose threads as examples but I am probably missing others that do the same just off the top of my head here.  I also enjoy equipment reviews great to get first hand interactive conversation but there is not a specific example here.

There are the top posters we’ve come to appreciate and recognize for keeping this forum active, that’s for darn sure!  There are a few others that post a less frequent but have shared great stories and information; all very appreciated too!  I’ve seen some posts lately from members (on HSO too) that I wasn’t sure were still around.  It reminds me how many eyes do looks at these pages. ?

 

Everyone I’ve met and had an opportunity to fish with or work on a car with have been genuine GOOD PEOPLE.  The only disappointment has been @ANYFISH2 cuz he isn’t available to fish with as much as I’d like too! ?  But I get it, cuz I don’t get to go as much as I’d like to either...  Checking on posts always helps with that though. 
 

Thanks All, and especially to those that I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with.

My favorites are all the members that have posted reports, answer questions or gave input through out the years...  ?  Pretty much everyone that contributes once I get n a while is my favorite member?

Hard to pin it fine to just two.  If I had too it would be Icehawk, who does very detailed reports with great technique info and papadarv, whose post I always look forward to reading.  The guy is a creative genius and I really enjoy the stuff he comes up with.

I can’t pinpoint anyone in particular either. I do appreciate the mention though. ? I just like seeing activity here. I miss the good ol’ days when I first joined over 13 years ago, when this place was really booming. I’m a member of a bunch of different Facebook groups, and it’s just not the same as the forum.

I hear that @Kettle guy is pretty cool ? In all honesty as I've mentioned in previous posts, this forum has helped me keep my sanity the last few years in school. After residency and when I finally get that 20' tiller I hope to meet up with a lot of you and take those willing out fishing!

You know where to find the tiller.

I would say Icehawk met him at a catfish get together fun to talk to and my wife really enjoyed chatting as well. Rick G and Eye guy are fun to hear from as well as all the others I guess I can't really nail down. I have learned from many on here.

      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
