Medicine Lake

Quote:

Didn't get out tonight 'til about 5:00 PM. Fished for about an hour in about 35 FOW. Before the sun went down, larva got the bite. After the sun went down, minnows.

Iced two 6-8 inchers and one 8-10 incher in an hour. Not too bad for an hour of my time.

I'll be back (on saturday).

The best part was the two older gentlemen that didn't speak english. Really friendly guys. Seemed real interested in looking at my Vex.

Good time!


Hope you had a chance to edUmacate those gentlemen in the way of electronices. Always good to take the time and show someone a few things about our sport!

Looking forward to fishing Saturday with many of you.

Yeah you probably ran into a couple of the Russians that are always out there. They are pretty funny and interesting people. They have unzipped my door to my old 6800 and came right in to warm when they got cold. They are not shy that is for sure. They would always hit me up for a couple minnows and I would gladly share my bait. I usually gave them a few crppies when I always left. They make soup out of them. See you all tommorrow.

I used to live in the apartments right by the lake and there were a few Russian families that lived there too. Any of you young single guys should get to know them because there was a daughter that looked to be about 18 that was extremely hot!

Hey Piketipper, I was in Ukraine a few years back and the women there were ultra-hot! And they were everywhere and all the women dress to the hilt! I mean they all dress like fashion models! There were no overweight women to be seen. My wife would always catch me gawking and I would get slammed dunked as we were traveling around.

Anyways they ice fish there too as we were in Kiev and they would be out on the Dnieper River. Man, that sure made me home sick wishing I was back here fishing Osakis or LOW! blush.gif

Nice house tish. Where'd you get it? :+) I may have to try and stop out for a sec and see it. For those of you who dont know, he won it at the contest on med last Saturday. He's had a big%$$ grin on his face ever since (and been sitting in it in his living room breathing lantern gas and drinking beer). The maiden voyage!AHHHHHH it's a beautiful thing.

Hey Moby, went out today with Yogi and Basswacker out to the Crappie spot. We fished from 6-10 and didn't do all that great. The fish were biting really light, but we still got some fish.

And yes, I do venture on other bodies of water besides Medicine. tongue.gif

I can't be the only person who's ever set up a new fish house in the living room (fiance was at work), turned off all of the lights in the house, fired up the lantern, opened a beer, and stared at the Vex?!?!?!?

I've only set it up 3-4 times in the living room so far...."Alright honey, move the couch over there and put the coffee table in the garage to make room!"

Medman, loc9, and moby...hopefully see you guys on the ice after work!

If I head out early Saturday morning with some crappie minnows or wax worms; how deep should I set up, how far off the bottom, and what tackle should I use? smile.gif

I just hope we can get on some fish for once. My luck this year has been horrible. The Mrs. is gonna start thinking I'm doing other things then fishing here soon. Instead of smelling like from catching them, now I have to roll around in bait.

See ya out there

If your going for Crappie's, set-up by one of the communities near the deep water, and use a jig(white, yellow, or green) tipped with waxies or a small jigging spoon with a minnow head and set-up about 5-10 feet off of the bottom. Every time I've vexed crappies in Medicine they seem to be the thickest in about 5-15 feet from the bottom.

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.
