It is $2 to enter the contest. I will be out there with my grandpa. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.

It's going to rain and snow. Woohoo! I'll be bringing my insulated jeans and snow boots with me just in case I need them. Otherwise I'll be in jeans and my regular hiking boots. I'll most likely have a black bucket with me.

WARNING ABOUT LONG LAKE

I was out on long this evening then around 8:30pm the sheriff pulled up at the boat launch with some police cars and they said "get off the lake its not safe " on their loud speaker.

so is there still going to be a tournament tommarow or is it that cars cant drive out there?

Also there was ford F-250s roaming around and about 27 inches of ice. It seemed safe. it was just the launch that had water on the ice.

I was out there till 6 last night and the ice seemed fine to me. I haven't heard anything about the ice fishing contest. I am still planning on going, hope it snows instead of rains.

I would imagine they said that because it was dark and harder to see any hazardous spots. I would imagine the contest is still on. They've already got the extra outhouses there. I'm going whether they have the contest or not.

I was there catching nothing but marked fish right on the bottom a couple times. Just couldn't get them to bite. FisherDan said he could see them with his camera but couldn't get them to bite. Dave was there but he wasn't in the contest. He caught a few walleye but outside of the contest area. LOL. Go figure.

Nope, haven't been out there at all. Might head out tomorrow after church. Or I might try my luck on Crooked Lake. Or I might head back to Moore and hope it's not too crowded there.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      I hope to see it and believe it next week! Nice looking crappie

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of
