My girlfriend and I will be attending this weekend. She kicks my butt whenever we go fishing(I'm always untangling her line smile.gif). This weekend will probably be no different. I have a 6-7 hour drive after work Friday, so it'll be a looong night and day. I would've liked to have gotten there a day earlier to do a little fishing and scouting around. Oh well, will have to wing it.....Fishing, fun, food, trophys, and a chance at some great prizes......Count me in!!!

I'll be there. Unfortunately, the wife isn't interested in ice fishing, so I'm flyin' solo. I do hope to hook up with some of the pro staff and pick up a few tips and hints, though.

See you all there.

That sounds great! Cold front makeing ice to be followed by a warm up, the fish should be on the bite by Saturday with that weather scenario. Temps in the 20s is very tolerable even for the not so "hardcore" fisherman. It sounds as though the bite on Winni has been doing real well as of late. Get those weigh in scales ready, get the grills going! Make room in the truck to possibly bring home some great prizes.....Here we come!!! grin.gif PS: It sounds like there'll be a lot of women and kids comeing along. So guys, this may be your chance to get the lady involved with your fishing hobby. Women like to see other women around, and as far as introducing them to ice fishing...No where better than Winni! Lots of action, few lulls in activity, and a social affair, she'll be begging you..."Hey honey, Turn that game off and let's go fishing!"...Well, we can wish for that at least. smile.gif

Just so most of you know.

Most of the Pro Staff (especially those that know Winnie well) are going to be there to help out those who are looking for likely fish holding spots and/or would like some help with technique.

While we are going to crown the "World's Greatest Ice Angler" the ICE Series is mainly about introducing more people, families, women, and kids to the fun aspects of being on the Leading Edge of ice fishing.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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!
    • PSU
      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
