Was off stoney point in about 28 feet of water on last thursday. We caught a lot of tullibes and one 4lbs whitefish. They all hit on wax worms on a spoon. <BR>matt

Hey Beerfish thanks for the report. Can you get to the spot by truck? Did the action keep you busy all day. Gets to be alot of work cleaning all them fish don't it?

Beerfish, thanks for the report. Some friends of mine are planning on heading up to Stoney Point this Friday and Saturday for some tullibee action and wanted me to post to see if they were biting. They don't want to make the long trip from South Central MN if they aren't biting. Hope you can keep us informed so I can pass on the information. Thanks again for the post and I hope to see some before Friday. Good Fishing!!

Surprise Surprise. Wentn out of Stoney on Sun, No problem, Do not know how long the landing is going to last Hope everybody pounds boat landing and then the dirt landing. Fishing was not great, but started late in the day Without the ridge in the middle of the lake, its hard to tell where you are at Heading out on Tues, if you see a Rerd Ford truck with an old topper that will be me

Can anybody update me on the tullibee fishing out from Stoney Point. Like I mentioned in my early post, some friends are thinking of heading up early Friday for a couple of day's and I like to see if I could help them out a little. Still able to drive out? 4-wheelers needed? Auger extensions? Any thing else I'm missing (sorry I don't fish for them)? Thanks for any help I can pass along.

You can get there by truck but be careful crossing over the ridge. There was a truck that went over it before us so we just followed it over. The landing might get bad but i am not sure. The action started for us a about 9am and we caught them until 4pm so it was pretty steady. If they stop biting try lighter line and a smaller jig. I think the warm weather helps the bite and it makes it easier for fishing outside. Hope for no wind as well. <BR>beerfish<BR>

Just got back from fishing today. We had a pretty steady bite in the morning and then it slowed up around noon. Lots of trucks on the lake and ice is in good shape. Had no need for the auger extension. We went out of Stoney point and fished a few miles past the breaker. Good luck.

beerfish, oscar, thanks for the replies. They will be heading up early Fri. morning and staying till Sat. morning. If you see a maroon F-150 stop and say hi to them. You'll know it's them if you see my 80 year old cousin standing there telling tall tales and saying "ya,ya,ya,ya" over and over again!! Hee. Hee. Good luck and thanks again!!

For all the tulli fishers, I remember two years ago when the pressure ridge was in the middle of the lake, and those that came off stoney point were on one, side and those that came offsomewhere else were on the other side, This year, it seems those that are going out of Stoney Point, are fishing further down the lake is this possible

      Hey, he seems to like starting pissing matches, everywhere!  😒 😉

      Hey now, that one is all you!  Haha!  Don’t make another thread septic. 😉      Yup, the Looper Bug.  I couldn’t remember that catchy name for it.  2lb test is a little crazy, especially for the line quality back then but I can see that being a thing too.  Such clear water.  Looking down the hole watching the fish swim around and them looking back at you.  The further out I got, the easier it was for them to see me.   My one looper charged in when my jig was just below the ice while I was laying face down like you said.  It hit basically right in front of my face.  The fight was me rolling over and pulling it out of the hole.  That was shortly before the guys in the shallows packed up their little black shelters and left with their fish.     So, by the end of the day I learned: black looper bug; light line; conceal movement; and/or fish shallow.  And then never went back.

      Cuz like I said, he was breaking off a lot and they were like gold at the time.  Guys an't giving up anything when combat fishing, I'm sure he pissed off some folks running around jumping in and out of open holes. 😉

      🤔why didnt ya "leech" some of them black flies from the guy!!!!!🤗😂   awe come on....wanderer would of said it too!!!!😉
    • leech~~
      Au, yes the black fly, aka the looper bug.  I remember the first time I was introduced to it.  There must have been 20-30 guys out in front of the French on the ice. This one guy was running from hole to hole and pulling fish, but he was also breaking off a lot.  When I finally got close to him, he said he had 2lb line and just the bug on the end and jigging.  I think I had about 6lb line and some jig with waxies.  I jumped in my Suv and buzzed up to the bait store in Two harbors "which is closed now" to get new line and bugs.  By the time I got back and fishing again the bite must have been over!  Spent the rest of the day laying on the ice staring down the hole, ton's of fish went by but not bite!! ☹️    I used to get up at like 3:00am to drive up from Brooklyn Center, fish until dark and drive home.  When I had more of the wander spirit.  Heck I remember when I had no brains or money in the spring, getting up at like 2:30am, driving up and fishing every stream for about an hour that I could get to from Duluth to Grand Marais.  Then driving all the way home the same day.  🤪

      Last day of myself hunting before I help my friend with new clients. Back on the bigger marsh, mainly teal but 5 fulvous whistling ducks. A medium size duck but they fly and decoy like Canada geese, big circles and glide in. They are noisey birds

      Kettle, sounds like an awesome trip. Never see drake bluewings in MN during the season. For the bridge my pucker factor would've been 11, and that's walking across both ways!!
