There is a good chance that I will fish Pool 2 tomorrow PM. If anyone wants to tag along, let me know. I expect to be at Hidden Falls around 2:30pm and fish until 6pm or so.

I havent been on the water for some time and have zero expectations of what kind of bite I will find. I do expect to troll cranks.

If you are interested, reply here w/ contact info.

I would like to make it, but DARN this currency base society keeps me at work. I'm not storing the boat so, the season is still long.

Good luck and take pic's

UGLY...1st time this year being shut out on eyes. Water was very high w/ some leaves, but not to bad. Spent 3 hours dragging cranks from the 35E bridge to the dam w/ only 3 smallies to show for it (all nice size though, biggest around 3lbs).

My next trip w/ be w/ some live bait and probably downriver of downtown St Paul.

Did you try any backwater areas or was it all main channel cranking? I may hit some backwater this weekend if water conditions continue....

No backwater, but w/ the current so fast we spent most our time on the slack/slow water and current breaks.

Hi Guys, Pisces responding about Wednesday outing.Sorry to say, I got skunked also. I just started fishing this locale mid-summer, and dont really know what to do when the water comes up yet.Also lure grabbing leaves off the bottom was a problem.Do you ever switch to minnow style (classic Rapala) type bait to swim a little higher in the water for this purpose?

We'll first off I should say thanks again to Dave for taking me out there, even though he caught all the fish blush.gif

It certainly was tough out there...

As far as the leaves go, I think it's just something you have to deal with, I tend to think you're not really going to catch fish unless it's tapping bottom, so I don't think there's much you can do about it... Then again someone else with more experince than I might have some different insight.

We had no success on cranks on Saturday morning, but were able to get a handful of 18"-21" eyes on plastics. It was a beautiful day to be on the water. All of our fish came before 9:30. I couldn't dial them in after that.

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
