I'll be there. Where are you thinking of heading out of this weekend? We will be on sled at Z-bay or Pine, can't decide. Was out tuesday and saw a couple small vehicles near Pine. Now last nite a Roseau kid told me there are people driving out all over????

I'm gonna get on the phone here in a bit and call around to see if this is so.

Good luck Curt, maybe even see ya!

Fisky,

lake by around 2.

Figured on Pine, but am open to suggestion.

I have a 4 wheeler so getting around wont
be trouble.

Am staying at Springsteel sat night and
fishing Sunday for most of the day too.
A chance to check out a couple of places.

Lets hook up

I won't know exactly where we are heading until we figure it out tonite over the phone, also gonna hit some local tackle stores for odds and ends. I'll post where we're heading this evening, 7 or 8. I'm leaning towards Pine. I'm gonna be fishing with a friend who's into the comfort factor so we'll probably drag out the heavy 8x8 blue tarp homebuilt portable.

Spoke with one of the nice Adrian's ladies, they're not advising driving, but said lots of folks are crossing over in small vehicles.

Spoke with Deanna at Z-bay, she said they opened up their road this morning, but only out to the sandbar.

Spoke with Phyla at Sringsteel, she said folks are hitting the sandbar out front, and going over to Elm, and that the fishings been good. Approx. 8-9 inches of ice. She had'nt heard of anyone getting over to the S. tip, but she was'nt sure.

Curt- you planning on fishing out of the Springsteel area on Sunday? That could prove interesting and very rewarding, I'd love to be able to get out to the S. tip this early in the year. Ifinn we don't see one another on the ice, we could maybe hook up Saturday nite at Sprinsteels lodge?

Talk at ya later....Fisky

Fisky,

Justin from Dennys Sports wants to get over
to South Point on Sunday I told him I wanted
to go too. That could be real good!

I may not come up till later in the day
and just fish on Sunday. I have a place
at Springsteel so thats where I will be.

I'll stop at the lodge in the evening.
post what time you want to meet there. I'll
check here early in the morning Saturday.

Curt, are you "the" C.Q.'s son? Broadcaster from TRF, got to be. Fished with your dad at LOL, and M/Sippi in town.
Is he in Alabam this winter?
He keeps threatening to take me up on your big boat on LOL.

John Schaal in Mpls.

Sounds like I'm heading for Zippel tomorrow. I could try and spin in 6:30ish or so, we'll be fishing till dark at zippel, so that sounds about right. I'm riding with a friend who may not want to stop though, so don't hang out too long if you got other things going. I'm thinking of fishing the westside on Sunday also so we may yet meet up. Have a good weekend for sure.

Gulf Shores it is, Im not sure where they are
staying, I think it is someplace new this year.
Dads doing great. He fishes off one of the
public piers out into the Gulf. They have
been playing Bridge more and more so that
takes up quite a bit of time too.

I think they are having a blast. Thanks for
asking. I will send them your e-mail address

      I've never tried it either but I would given a chance myself too.  I've heard the term "ribeye of the sky" but I'm very skeptical of that.
    • Kettle
      Yup widgeon banded in north dakota this spring as an adult. Likely on the migration north 
    • Wanderer
      @Kettle that band - did you get the info on it yet?  Was it a Wigeon?

      I will when I get home and grill them. Yea, they fold up pretty easy, not hearty birds!
    • Kettle
      Pass shoot them between roost and fields, typically farthest shot 40 yards. They don't fly high.
    • rundrave
      can you share some pics of the ribeye of the sky after its prepared?   I really want to try the meat some time and hunt them as well. Is the term falling lawn chair still accurate when you bring one down? lol
    • smurfy
      That sounds good!
    • leech~~
      How do yea hunt um?  Do they come into deks with other stuff, or you sky burst um as they fly over?

      On the South Shore...  Now is prime time to head up to Lake of the Woods (LOW) and the Rainy River as fall fishing is in full swing!  With plenty of limits of walleyes and saugers being caught, and a favorable weather forecast, anglers are enjoying some excellent fishing. Dress for Comfort: With cooler mornings, dressing in layers is essential. Ice fishing gear is ideal for early mornings, and you can shed layers as the day warms. A warm hat and gloves or mittens are also handy. The best bite on the south end of LOW has been in 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping and as the temps cool further, the bite has been excellent.    Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners remains highly effective. Bring plenty of bait, as you’ll need to sort through some smaller fish, but you’re likely to land keepers as well as larger walleyes. Anglers have also reported good numbers of jumbo perch and occasional pike mixed in with the walleyes. Good Jig Colors: This week’s hot colors have been gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink. On the Rainy River...  Shiners and walleyes continue to move into the Rainy River, making it an ideal spot for targeting large walleyes. Anglers are experiencing success up and down the river, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.  Walleyes are being caught in various depths, but 15-25 feet of water has been good. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners has been highly effective. Some anglers are also trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon Fishing: With cooler days and shorter daylight hours, sturgeon activity has picked up. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open, providing anglers with an exciting opportunity to hook into these prehistoric giants. Up at the NW Angle...  Fall fishing is firing on all cylinders up at the Angle, where walleyes continue to be concentrated around traditional areas with structure. Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now. In addition to walleyes, anglers are catching pike, jumbo perch, and crappies. Using a jig and minnow is a tried-and-true approach and continues to yield excellent results. Muskie fishing is also hot this time of year, with anglers casting and trolling to find these predators. Big muskies over 50 inches are being caught and released. For those looking to enjoy some fall fishing at its finest, now is the time to head to Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River. With cooling water temps, great weather on the horizon, and prime fishing conditions, it’s a fantastic opportunity to jig up some walleyes and saugers for a fish fry. So, bundle up, gather your gear, and come experience the unforgettable fishing that awaits you up north!
