We are going up the weekend of Jan 24th. Wondering how the fishing has been, and is it more productive to fish out from the Gap or go to Zippel Bay area.

Hawk we did real well over Pine on Sat. A 31" and 5 28" fish along with a bunch over 20". See my report on the Duluth site under Planning a LOW trip by Dr.BOb.

Good report Nortlander. Thanks for that. When we go up we always end up out in the basin in the 30' range. Can you tell me how close to the island you need to be to get the the 20' of water range. And can you get there by truck.

We drove our trucks everyplace we went. We went over pine and took the first left to the west about 1 mile. 18' of water. Probably 1/3 mile off of Pine.<p>[This message has been edited by Northlander (edited 01-14-2004).]

Thank you again Nortlander. I appreciate the tip and I will definitely give it a go.

With the snow they got it could be tuff to get in to that spot. Depends a lot on how many guys were fishing out there Tues and today. Make sure ya got a 4 by 4 .

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
