HELP desperate


Recommended Posts

I was out of Long Point on Friday. We caught around 40 walleye and sauger for four of us. We kept 20 with the biggest one being 19". Not to hot but good enough to have a good fish fry and take home some fillets.<BR>We fished out in front of Twin Island in 32 feet of water. Rainbow, blue pink and white glow in the dark seemed to produce most of the fish on a bobber.<BR>Shiners outproduced chubs 2/1/<BR>Not much luck jigging for them with Swedish Pimples and weasels.<BR>I had a good friend out of Morris Point on Saturday and Sunday in 27 feet of water. They filled out for 3 people. I don't kknow what they were using. He said they released alot of fish also.<P>------------------<BR>Hunt Snow Geese, Save the tundra

Hey!<BR>I would have to say long point. It has been on the most part really good this winter and consistant. It really depends on your plans of transportation. I havent been up for awhile but from what i've read snowmobiles is still the way to go. If you have a snowmobile your options are pretty much wide open. Thats my 4 cents worth.

pbowhunter,<P>Was up to LOW Saturday and as far as travel is concerned on the lake, 4x4 pickup is fine if you only plan on staying on the plowed roads. The snow is deep, and it is slushy underneath. <P>If you want more options and like to get away from people, gonna need the sled with. <P>4wheeler is probably a bad idea too. I saw 4 guys trying to get away from the road. 1 was driving the wheeler, 2 were carrying shovels, and the other guy was there to push I guess. Looked like a lot of work to me.

Long Point is west quite some distance by road, not bad if you're on a sled. Good luck and hang on. Bill

      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
