How about the results from the Streiff's tourny. Anyone??

I fished the tourny and didn't have any luck myself. The conditions were pretty bad. Unfortunately I missed the weigh in so I'm not full of info but I do know the big fish was 10 lb 9 oz and the winning combined weight was 18lbs and change.

Hey there White-tips<P>I did not fish the tourney, but I heard the same as Y-sub said with the winner coming off of 12 mile. Some nasty-nasty weather on sat. afternoon probably put a hitch in a lot of peoples plans. I fished 16 mi. with fair luck until a renegade funnel cloud slash t-storm interrupted us! What a ride. Craziest weather I've been in in a while on the boat. We went back out there on Sunday again and did pretty well, it made up for sat's ride anyhooz. If you get up to the lake and want to ever go for a fish, give a hollar and we can figure it out. We've got a place up there so lodging and the boat is not a problem, just bring some buschies and your poles. Later..

That was some weather eh Reefer. We sure took a beating on our way in from Stony. We took off when we started getting shocked by our rods. That was the first mention I heard of a funnel cloud though. I could see where it could happen. I even remarked to my partner about it on the way in. We hit a couple pockets of really hot air on the ride back and then it would cool back down within a couple hundred feet. It was weird.<P>I also heard 12 mile was good to some folks but I was under the impression that the majority of the top placing teams were out on the rocks by Knight and Bridges. Can anybody else shed some light on this? I sure wish I wouldn't have missed the weigh in. Don't get me wrong Reefer, it's not that I don't believe you, just something I heard.

My partner and I finished with just over 6 lbs (two fish). We caught about a dozen fish just below the 14" slot, and also put back a 20 1/2". Started at the South Tip where the fish were tough to figure out. Picked up a couple shallow, and a few deep. Headed over to Five Mile when the clouds started building, the only fish there were the 20 1/2", and a 23" that we kept. We started feeling the electricity in our rods (not a good feeling), so we headed in. The waves were bad all day, until that first storm passed. We had an hour left so we hung out at the blinker, but we actually had to troll (one bite). At the weigh-in, the fishing reports were non-consistant at best. People caught (or didn't catch) fish on the reefs, deep water flats, and shallow weed edges. Leeches did seem to be the most productive bait in all locations. This was my first time in this tournament, and I have to say, it is an even a playing field as you can find. <P>------------------<BR>Fish on gotta go--JON

      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
