hey grfm, i feel kinda dumb, but i forgot your first name.... confused.gif any way i saw some one called from your number yesterday. couldn't figure out who it was. i felt like crap yesterday, but started feeling a little more human by the after noon, so we went out on our little lake over here. we did o.k.
then sat by the fire till 11:00. we are heading to red some time this morning. we wont be back till later tonight. tomorrow would be a good bet to get together. i may try to call you from the truck on the way up to red. or on the lake while we are hammering them big slabs grin.gif or you could try to call me this morning too. what ever works.
later, jigglestick...

Hey jigglestick! It was great meeting you (and Andrew) last weekend. Thanks for the help!
The walleyes weren't cooperating on Moose very well (3 walleyes in two full days of fishing) but we ended up going to Winnie and doing well later in the week. I think Moose will pick up ion the nesxt week or two with some warmer weather.
Let me know if you need a fishing partner any more weekends this year. Pigsticka and I could maybe make a trip up if you're interested.
Also,my family and I will be up for another week in August at Cedarwild resort. I'll let you know when we're coming in case something works out.
It was fun for Nathan to go out in your 'Barge'. Nathan says thanks but he wants you to work on your netting tecnique!
;> ) Just rufflin' your feathers!

hey sloop! it was fun taking you guys out. i wish i would have had more time earlier. joe came up kind of last minute. we went out quite a bit this last weekend. we did real well also. sunday we caught 5 eyes during the day, and went back out after dark, and got 11 more! i only got 1 or 2, and goose did about the same. the boys got all the rest smile.gif man were they having fun. i caught about a 4 or 5 pound muskie close to where nathan caught his. i saw two more about 20 lbs, and 25 lbs!! the big one was in 10 feet with cabage honing in on a crippled perch. way cool. drop me a mail.
grfm--you should have come our way. we had a blast sunday. i lost you on the phone, i have that wonderful cell one service frown.gif it doesn't work very well by me. i will be going out saturday if you are interested. it should be fun, as long as the weather stays good. just fyi, we went to wabana on monday to fish sunnies, and we got about a dozen borderline to nice ones. they were not in heavy yet. another week or so i think.
one more trout lake to try, would be nickle. easy to get a canoe into, and fairly decent fishing from shore too. nice fish to boot.
drop me a line or mail if you want to go on saturday.

      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
