Anybody heard of or fished blackwater lake? It's north of brainerd up towards longville. I am going up this weekend with a few guys and was wondering what the lake is like? Have never fished it and any info would be very helpful. thanks<BR> Ruegs23

Springtime fishing is excellent around little blackwater for crappies.<P>Late fall fishing is awesome for trophy bass off the deep weed edges with shiners and jigs.<P>Other than that, the bite is very slow. Never ice fished it.

I went out on Blackwater last weekend and caught 4 nice eyes just at dark in about 13 feet of water of a weedline. It was a pretty good trip out there. Nothing bit all day. I guess they sometimes catch crappies in the daytime icing in the main part of the lake right where the 30 foot drop off of the channel starts between the two main parts of the lake. Try there. There were some houses out there. The ice isn't as thick there as leach lake though. I don't know if I would drive way out on blackwater. It was about 16 inches February 1st this year.<BR>

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
