Anybody on the River Yet

8 inches off McClures landing(Pokegama Bay) did well on crapies, perch and sunnies. Friend has been fishing off of Clyde Ave. landing and said there was 5-7 inches of ice...will be out there early next week.

Lightline....That makes for quite a romp in one day, but the fish, as you say, are worth it. Lots of different plastics to work with. I like the PowerBait Minnows in walleye formula.

Castle Danger, eh? We have a cabin on Co.3 a couple miles to the left when you go by the backroad. Love it up there. Where are you located in CD?

Lightline.....I've probably been past your home a hundred times. We are up and down the shore from G.Marias to Duluth several times a year....Ma lkes to snoop. I've had the occasion to fish about every moving piece of water along that stretch too. Never catch anything of interest by the casting is still fun. You are a lucky soul to have a place right there on the lake.

LUCK IS WHEN OPPERTUNITY MEETS PREPERATION , THATS WHAT THEY SAY ANYWAYS. IT'S NICE TALKING TO YOU. ROCHESTER EH ? I HAVE LOT'S OF RELE'S DOWN IN SOUTHERN MN.

      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.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      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

      Falls gone Gim, time to move to ice fishin!!👍
    • gimruis
      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.
