Any St. Croix Guides Out There?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Wondering if there is anyone out there who guides on St. Croix? A friend and I are looking to book a one day trip sometime in the next monthg or so. Neither of us has ever fished the river but have heard from others who have done well. We would be looking for walleye, smallies, maybe pike, possibly even cats. Just wondering the cost and how much time on the water. Any guides out there please contact me. Thanks!

Dude,
Call Turk. 'Nuff said.
Not a bad guy considering he's a Viking fan......

I will throw my name in the hat as well. Note that I only guide north or the Arcola Sandbar. No need for my services south since Turk and Crappie Getter take care of that area.

Sorry about that Yaeger Guide, I plum ol forgot about you.

Guess we'll have to welcome you as Pro Staff on the St Croix as well.


As a side note, Turk is the original FishingMN Pro Staffer for this forum and he's a dandy smile.gif

Heck, I just stay where you can barely get two boats by each other when the water is where it should be. No need to worry. I trust with the four of us, Uncle Dave has good options for whatever he needs.

I've checked rates with a few and am checking with my fishing partner about who to go with. We are looking for a weekday in the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks for all of the tips!

Just wanted to thank you folks for the advise. We booked a trip for early September with Turk and are looking forward to a fruitful trip and a great shorelunch! Hopefully the smallies and wallies are biting. Too many factors to say for sure, but any day on the water is better, well, than most anything!

      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
