For everyone fishing in Four Mile Bay, especially you tournament anglers this weekend. Fiskyknut gave the fish one of needle nose pliers on Saturday, so make sure you get them in the boat quick, before they get a chance to use those pliers. LOL, it was pretty funny, you guys will have to ask him about it. Good luck to everyone in the tournament(s). I'm still looking for a partner for the North Star if anyone is interested. Your boat or mine. <P>------------------<BR>Fish on gotta go--JON

Dan, the fishing was decent enough. We kept enough to eat, although we could have kept a limit. The best action was just after noon, which surprised us. It sounds like the weather is going to get steadily colder through the weekend. Hopefully that will give those bigger fish the message they need to start eating. I'm looking forward to that beer, just let us know when you're headed up our way. You'll have to check out the pics Fisky is going to post in the Red River forum of the cats we caught on Sunday too. It turned out to be one of the better fishing weekends I've had in quite a while. <P>------------------<BR>Fish on gotta go--JON

Hi Jon<BR>Sounds like you guys had a good time. Wish I could have made it up there. IM sure Char filled you in on that. She sounds like a lot of fun. Hell I had a good time just talking to her on the phone LOL. Would have liked to meet that Fiskynut guy too. We still need to meet up some time for a beer or dinner. So how was the fishing other then that Fiskynut guy feeding your gear to the fish LOL<P>Dan pullfish.gif <P><p>[This message has been edited by FisherDan (edited 09-28-2004).]

Well Curt if the tournament was on Saturday/Sunday, Char would be my first choice. Unfortunately she is a sign language interpreter for a hearing impaired child at a local school, so it is next to impossible for her to take time off. I'll be up there even if it's not tournament fishing. I'll try and catch up with ya. <BR> Fisky, can you email me those pics too? I gotta show my brother in Texas what a real cat looks like. Any chance you'll get anything in those traps yet? <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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
