Well, while I was in sunny Las Vegas for the weekend with my lovely wife and no kids (THANKS VINCE) I did have a scout out on sandy from thursday through sunday. Although I sent him to a new spot using the old fashion way of finding (3 land points) I don't think he was in the right spot frown.gif He also said that there was alot of lightning wed. night apon his late arrival. Sounds like the winds came up pretty good. He did get his family out to Atkin lake and had some good sunfishin. He totaled one wall dog for the weekend at about 10" frown.gif. I will be up over labor day for sure no hidden surprises this weekend. I will once again say that I stay at eagle point right accross from Big sand sports. You can actually see my camper from 65 as you drive by 2850 jaco with white lights around it and a screen in front. I drive a crew cab ford with Advantage wetlands accross the bottom. If your up this weekend and need a report stop in and see if I'm in.

I will be on Sandy as well this weekend. Staying on a cabin on Bridge Road.
Not sure how much serious fishing will be done, but I will be out there at some point.

Hmmm, maybe I should bring my boat up. At least I will be more inclined to get out if I have my rig.

I am sure there will be plenty of sport boat traffic! It is hard for me to get serious when you have people buzzing you all the time. Big I will be buzzing around your area plenty.

Moby,
Last time I was up it looked like your folks got the lift and boat in. You going to be up this weekend?

Hey Sandburr , how ya been ? I was one of the guys that stopped by last winter to look at that fish house you had for sale . Gray Dodge truck and brought the wife with .

Anyways I was up at Big Sandy last Sat. to finish getting my camper ready to move in Sept.. That had to be the quietest I've ever seen the lake on a summer weekend . We were at the in-laws place on the south end of Fishermans bay . 1 jet ski , 1 water skier and 1 fishing . Made me regret leaving the fishing stuff home and making it a work weekend. Will not be up over Labor Day , lake will be too busy for me . Good chance I'll be up again on the 6th after a morning trip to Hay Days . Maybe I'll see you on the water if your around .

Yep, I remember you. My scout last weekend said the same thing. He could'nt believe there wasn't more traffic out there. He thought he had the lake to himself.

I will be bear hunting that weekend and the next but will be up on the 20th then to Saskatchawan for a week.

We will link up sometime....

Going to Sandy tomorrow night.
Leaving the boat home. I am just gonna use the In-laws boat I guess.
Sand Burr,
What do you fish out of?
I think you asked about Moby too. He posted a week or two ago, that the cabin was going to be loaded with little tikes. Didn't sound good for him.

      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
