Here's what I've learned about the area lakes over the past week from word of mouth and first hand observation.

I found pretty good ice, 5" to 7" on the big lakes. ATV travel seemed pretty safe. I also found lots of people. Seems I wasn't the only one chomping at the bit. The fishing was O.K. I found good numbers of somewhat skittish crappies. But in my endless quest to find bigger and more eager fish, I frittered away most of the daytime hours and never returned to the ones I found. The walleye fishing was poor. I only iced one the in 3 days. It was a little over 23", but that barely made up for the amount of time I put into it. But hey, they call it fishing not catching.

I also heard a rumor of a 10lb. walleye out of Rush (East or West) during the week. Did anyone else hear that?

Hey Bornofice, I did not hear anything about Rush - But then again I did not ask! I will do some asking of the local anglers and Sport Shops and let ya know what I hear. My experience on Rush has not been that good. I must be doing something wrong. I only catch small crappies (everytime I have been out there. Fair numbers of them but to small to keep, 5 to 7 inchers. If you know more about this lake let me know.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
