Hello Harry,

Thanks for the invite Harry. I'll check with Uncle J. to see if he's interested. He's looking pretty good and has his boat out, getting it ready for the upcoming season. Buying a new graph for it. Thanks.

Greg C.

P.S. Any size to the fish?

Greg...How's fishing been? Sounds like it's all over for this ice-season. Boy am I going to miss pitching a slip bobber into birch trees and reeds for crappies, yet again! Oh Well!

Hello Alaska:

It was a great year for ice fishing but I haven't been on the ice in two weeks. That time was spent cleaning the garages and getting the boat out of storage, etc. Did okay on the Rainy River last Wednesday. Plan on a sturgeon excursion here shortly. Have all kinds of grand plans before the opener gets underway.

Greg , hope that jack feels like he is up for a trip . i havent went out and check some of the other areas on the lake as of yet . we are doing alot os sorting of fish , the really nice ones havent moved in as of yet but could be any day . Crappies we are keeping have been in the 10inch and better class. Sunnys havent seen to many that have been bigger than my hand size as of yet . i cant count on how many largemouths we have gotten allready .. in fact i cant count how many in the 4 to 5 lb calss that have been caught also . sure are fun on those light lines . i know how jack loves those sunnys ,, last year i didnt get the pound class sunnys til lthe carp moved in .. they havent as of yet .

Hi Harry,

Just a note to let you know that it doesn't look like we are going to make it down there for a little fun.

Jack's feeling pretty good and is up for some fishing but the recent cool, crappy weather has changed our minds. I'm sure this weather has pushed the fish out a little deeper as well.

Maybe some other time. Thanks.

Greg C.

Hey Greg,
you are right about the weather , i thought i would give it a try yesterday for awhile b4 getting back to you on this . i did get a few fish ,, but nothing like i had been getting b4 this weather moved in . If things change here i will get in touch with you and Jack about making the trip . i did althou get 1 sunnie yesterday that went 3/4 lb .. but crappies only a couple and there wasnt the size i had been getting , i think they will be moving back into the are a i am fishing again with more stable weather patterns. Any how remeber the door is allways open .

      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      So, that was you in the camo lund? I'm bummed, I have to head back to the cities tomorrow for a few days, then back up for at least a few weeks. Got the dock in and fired up to get out chasing some crappies till opener!

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.        
    • smurfy
      got mine done........for the cabin.....ready for summer festivities!!!!!!   there was still frost in the ground...........but good gawd are the lakes low!!!!!
    • CigarGuy

    • SkunkedAgain
