Does anyone have GPS coordinates for Graveyard or Sloppy Joes? I will be coming up on early Saturday morning about 3:00 am and would rather follow my GPS that a compass in the dark.

I checked the coordinates that I have programmed:
Those are very close to mine as well.
Good luck!

10 Point, I noticed that you are from the Annandale area, any report from Clearwater? I will be fishing there Saturday.

Clearwater Lake has been putting up a few walleye, but if the fishing was good I would not be going to Mille Lacs this weekend. I have been picking up some large walleye in 17 ft. of water on the North side to the west of the access. Tuesday I caught 2 fish, one was 25 1/2 inches and the other was 31 inches!!! Those were the only two bites I had for 5 hrs of fishing. Both were on a tip-up with a large golden shiner. Could not get anything to take a jigging spoon. Prior to this I have only caught 5 walleye on Clearwater. If you want to have some action, go to Pearl Lake near Rockville to the left of the public access, the crappies are hitting hard! Nice ones, There is a fish house with the name Jody on it. This is the spot! You could expect to catch several limits of crappies on minnows. Good Luck!

10 point,
Yeah, we always do good there, haven't seen you out there this year yet but myself, Willie, and Nagasaki have been catching a lot of crappies every time we go there. We are picking up a couple walleyes also but only a couple. The Pike are on a feeding binge on Pearl right now. I have seen several in the 10 pound range. I know Jody, that's why you saw his house out there. Nice Eye on Clearwater! I have not been there yet but would be willing to tag along with you some time during the week. I'm going to Mille Lacs this weekend also, We are planning on meeting at the Cabin about Noon on Saturday. Call me on my cell.

Dennis,
Unfortunately Saturday is the only day I am able to fish this weekend. However, if you can make it up then look me up: I have the teal-green Chevy PU, an old white/red Honda three-wheeler and I fish out of an odd looking red portable shack (cant miss that thing!). I usually set up out in front of BJ’s, north west end of the lake.

If we don’t hook-up, let me know how you do on the Annandale Forum come Monday.

<;))))><

10 Point,

I just thought I would let you know that the ice around Sloppy's was shakey as of last weekend. One of Jerry Brandt's boys went through on his 4-wheeler about a week ago. I'm sure things have changes somewhat but be careful none the less.

      Roofing contractor advice

      By geniejamess · Posted

      I have complete confidence in their expertise, and I'm certain that our cabin and fish cleaning house will soon have a brand new roof that not only meets our needs but exceeds our expectations. It's such a relief to have found a trustworthy contractor after previously having negative experiences. I'm incredibly grateful for the recommendations I received, and I'm excited to move forward with this reputable roofing contractor. If anyone is in need of a reliable and fair contractor in the area, I'd be more than happy to share their contact information

      Great Week for Anglers

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...  A great week of walleye and sauger fishing on Lake of the Woods.  Lots of limits.  Good numbers of fish being caught, which includes eaters, slots and some trophy walleyes to make things interesting!    Most anglers are jigging with a frozen emerald shiner or live minnow.  Jig colors to consider are gold with a bright color such as gold / pink, gold / glow white and even gold with some tinsel.     Some reports of spinners starting to work well tipped with a minnow or crawler.  A great technique is drifting with a 2 ounce bottom bouncer and spinner rig. Fish being caught around the lake.  Trust your electronics and watch for fish.  In addition to the south shore where various schools of walleyes and saugers are living, consider the Garden Island area, Knight / Bridges Island area, and Twin Islands where good fish are being caught.   Most walleyes in that 18 - 24 foot depth.    Good pike reports.  Back bays are still holding good eaters and a few big females.  Some of the larger fish have made their way to the lake.   On the Rainy River...   Walleye anglers are finding some nice eater walleyes in the River.  There is always a number of walleyes that stay in the river all year.  Whether you like the beauty and secluded feel of the river, have a small boat or simply want to get out of the wind, the river is a great summer spot with little traffic.  Anchored up or slowly moving upstream with a jig and minnow, trolling spinners / crawlers or trolling crankbaits are all effective right now.     Smallmouth bass are plentiful in the Rainy River.  Whether you are a bass angler or simply want to mix up species, target feeder rivers, bridges, and areas with rocks.   The sturgeon season will re-open again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Excellent walleye fishing this past week.  The jig and minnow is the goto bait.  Anglers using spinners with crawlers or minnows and crankbaits are catching lots of fish as well.     Structure around the many islands holding walleyes.  Shallow flats areas with current are also heating up.     Great fishing reports from both sides of the border.  NW Angle anglers boating into Canada to fish cannot possess or transport any bait, alive or dead.  Most are using jigs / plastics, artificial crawlers on spinners and crankbaits with great success.  If desired, live bait is available and can be purchased for the day just over the border via boat in Canada, check with your resort for details. This entire area is great for multispecies action.  In addition to walleyes, big pike, smallmouth bass, jumbo perch, crappies,and muskies are also being caught on a regular basis.

      Whitefish Chain Fishing Reports

      By delta dude · Posted

      Fishing for Walleyes slow. Panfish are going good however.  Lots of junk floating around the lake be careful. Pontooners give the fishing boats a wide birth.

      Filming hunts - tips & advice

      By geniejamess · Posted

      Great idea! Filming your hunts and watching the footage during the offseason is a fantastic way to stay connected to your passion. YouTube offers a wealth of non-professional hunting videos filled with tips and inspiration. Your friend's camera stands for shallow water hunting sound impressive! It's a clever way to capture memorable moments. Enjoy your hunts and happy filming!

      2023 Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

      By chucker1101 · Posted

      Fished for about 4-5 hours this weekend with the kids, all time in Big Bay. Had a mix of rainbows and pike suckers for bait. Rainbows out-fished pike suckers, and the small rainbows were bringing in fish. Caught about 12-14 fish, kept 8 for a fish fry. Biggest was 16". Limited sample says action seemed better in the morning than evening. Working 16-18' in the morning was our best run. Evening was slow. Didn't get to too many places, hit four reliable spots and caught fish in 3 outta 4.
