Hey Kelly-p, it appears your idea of a forum weekend is getting rave reviews. What do you think a forum weekend should be? I'll be on URL on Friday and I'll try to catch up with you for some ideas. I've already got my rooms at the Drake. I'll help in any way I can. By the way after reading your information and stories(the band-aid brigade is a hoot), I think you should write a book. "Red Lake Crappie Tales" by Kelly-p sounds like a must read.

W2 I'll be pulling in around noon this saturday, staying in B-duck at the AmericInn, leaving monday AM. Hope to catch you somewhere. If there's anything I can do just ask.

I have enjoyed reading your posts also!!Keep up the good work and info!!Coming up in two weeks,probably looking more forward to meeting all of you fisher people and having cocktails,than catching those pig crappies.It's just a side bonus!!!Fishing is all about the whole trip not just the catching part!!I have no problem spending my money in places that actually cater to the fisher people.As all the locals do up there.I was there last year twice,we didn't hammer them but we had a blast!!!

I have not been on the site long, but am having fun with all the conversations. I will be on the lake Friday, and perhaps Sat Sun Mon, depending on what fishing is like in the Winnie area. What is the best way to meet a few of you Friday?

Polar Bear, I will be on the Lake out of West Winds hopefully in a.m. but I'm from the east end of the range and have a little drive. Maybe we should try and meet at the cafe some time in afternoon. Maybe we can catch Kelly-p as well. I'm staying up north this weekend as we are going to fish LOW on saturday.

Tryhard, I'll be on the lake on Friday as well and in a Red dodge, std cab sport, no topper,with totes in the back and a clam 6800. Glad to meet ya!

Hey Polar Bear, sorry about the time, I forgot you won't be on the lake until Saturday and I'll be on LOW. We'll meet some time. We might fish Red again on Sunday depending on how we do on Friday.

W2, I grew up in Grand Rapids, and considered that the "East end of da range", where are you located?

I'm unsure of what vehicle we will be taking, so I can't describe it, if I figure it out, I will let you know.

Where do you fish out of?

Hi Tryhard, I don't know if "rangers" consider Gr. Rpds. a part of the range or not. I'm a packsacker originally from Cloquet, been here since 76. I live in Soudan. Got Vermillion in my back door and a lot of great fishing within 3hrs in any direction(except east). I usually go out of West Winds. Seems like crappies run a little bigger up there. Great people too!

W2, I don't consider myself a ranger, but I must have had a hard day yesterday, because I grew up saying just WEST of da range, not east. I have been out of Roger's the last few years, maybe I will go up to West Wind on Friday....

      Caught some crappies on the north end of Osakis on Nov 15th. Pulled from 25-27 feet. All laid on their side in the live well. All kept but one.

      On the south end...   Ice continues to form and make progress on Lake of the Woods.  With that being said, it is going to take some time before it is safe and fish houses are out.  Resort ice guides have been out checking ice thickness, flying drones over the ice and basically staying on top of current conditions.   Back bays are locked up and there is some spearing for pike that has been happening.  Ice conditions even in back bays vary, so for safety, please work through resorts and outfitters.   Most of Big Traverse Bay is ice covered.  There are still patches of open water, some cracks that have opened up, etc.  This is typical for this time of year and it will be a bit yet before most can give the green light.     Lake of the Woods is big and there are many areas of the lake resorts and outfitters go out on.  Each business will be monitoring ice conditions in their area and make informed decisions when it is allowed to access the ice through their ice access and what weight limits will be allowed. Resorts and outfitters have started marking trails on the ice in bays and close to shore.  When it is time to get out on the ice, we encourage working through resorts and outfitters and staying on marked trails for safety. On the Rainy River...   The Rainy River is ice covered.  Local resorts and ice guides are monitoring ice conditions in areas of the river they offer ice fishing.  As you have read in this report previously, work through a resort or outfitter for safety reasons.      Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice covered (as a whole).  Outfitters and ice guides have been marking ice trails.  The ice roads and trails are not open yet, but much of the ice has frozen smooth and is coming along very nicely. There are always areas throughout the winter where there is current up at the Angle so it is important to stay on the marked trails, both when they open up and throughout the ice fishing season, which goes through March, Mother Nature dependent on course.

      'we have more fun' I Share On FishingMN  152 Posted January 25, 2017 Hey Moose ... what size Pug Bug do you typically use?  Smaller or bigger on your locale lake?   also, do you use the xl maki minnow or the smaller regular one?  For Crappies, noticed that the xl seems to catch bigger fish but not as much quantity?  Curious about your thoughts?

      I caught a few eyes... we're getting a dusting of snow tonight. I probably won't fish much until we get more ice and snow as I like running the sled. Really don't like ice fishing much, do it more for something to do as there's not much to do in the winter. I'm going to start bobcat trapping this winter though
