Hi Fellas!
I'm heading up to Kabe from the 9-16 of Aug, and does anyone know of any beaches on Kabe that I could take a little guy to go swimming. I was thinking that it would be fun to boat to a private one and have a shore lunch. What do you think?

Thanks!

Boy, beaches are kind of hardc to come by on this lake if I remember correctly there is one on the far southwest corner of the main basin, not sure if it is private beach for a resort or not but i knkow it is there. As far as a secluded one, I think there is a small, very small one on the east side of Potato island. THere is a little campsite or picnic table there too. I hope I am right about it being Potato. I dont have a map in front of me right know but I know it is on a smaller island on the east end of the main basin. If you ahve a good map, it should show the picnic site.

There are at least 4 or 5 very nice natural beaches on Kab, as well as the public beach at woodenfrog campgrounds. Wait and see if Fishkab posts, he will know the island names for the beach locations. If he does not post in the next day or so I will find out and post same later. guts <{{{{{><

Go Fish, There is day use site on the northeast side of Moxie Island. It is a great spot. As a day use site, no one can camp there. It has a fire ring, tables, and is set up for just what you want to do. It has a great beach and goes out a long ways as shallow water. It shows up on the park maps. Easy to find and not that far from any of the resorts. Have fun!!!!!! Fishkab

Go-Fish, I'm not much into beaches but if you ever get in the area of Namakan Island make a run down to Junction Bay. On the west side of the bay a small waterfall enters the lake. Its a very cool spot to anchor in the little cove between the 2 chutes and jump in the lake for a swim.

Gentlemen!

Thanks so much for your replies! Your info will make our trip that much more enjoyable! If your out and about on Kabe during the 9-16 of Aug, I'll be fishing in a red 18' crestliner with a merc on the back. Please feel free to give me a few pointers! We will be staying at Driftwood. Thanks Again!

Don, the owner of Driftwood should be helpful to you for beach locations as well, he is also aguide and he does know the lake well, Hopefully fishing will pick up its pace by the time of your arrival. Good luck, guts <{{{{{><

      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
