Well, we had a pretty slow weekend at Morris. I talked to a couple guys at work this morning, one fished Long Point, and the other was at Arneson's Reef, both of them said it was slow at those two spots as well. The fish we did catch were quality size saugers for the most part, with two of them measuring 17", three or four smallish eyes, and a couple of pout thrown in too. The Vexilars showed fish fairly consistently, but we couldn't get them to cooperate. Between five us, we had to have used every size, shape, and color made. Oh well, if we hammered them everytime, it wouldn't be near as fun the next time out.

I was also out at Morris on Saturday putting up my house. I got to fishing from 10AM to dark. Fishing was tough. I only caught 7 fish, four walleyes and 3 saugers. I caught the biggest fish (sauger,16") right away, so I thought it would be better. I ended up with 4 legitimate keepers and had enough for a half time meal during the demolishing of the Packers. I was in 31ft and tried everything in the tackle box. Gold was best, but it was just about too slow to tell.

I was out yesterday at long point and it was slow for us was well, we went out to the West in 34-35 ft of water. Vexilar was quiet, when fish showed we could intice them to bite but it took some work. 10 fish kept, three guys. Anyone have any luck at long point yesterday?

I was out from morris point this weekend as well...staying with Fire and Ice....a great time as usual. Bryant and Jason rock. As for the fishing...it was tough. Three guys two days....around 80 fish total...lots a throw backs. We got a limit of keepers each day...but the biggest all weekend was a 16 1/2" sauger. there was on 4 1/2 lb pout. Not alot of fish...but most that showed on the vex...were able to coax into biting. We missed a lot of strikes as well. So basically for any other lake I fish...it would have been a good weekend...for lotw...slow and that's why I go there. All that on top of the Vikings throwing in a pleasant suprise for once...(Contact US Regarding This Word) good weekend. Go Vikes.

I don't suppose it was a FM'ers fishhouse I saw scattered all over the ditch Saturday morning on the cut-across to Rocky Point Rd? That really must have wrecked someone's day.

We saw the same thing yesterday in the ditch. Just a pile of rubble and foam insulation.

Hey Reefer, how deep were you yesterday? I was going to buzz over there on the sled after you left and check the depth but we were in a hurry to get out of there. Dad and I were in 26 and had a hard time to get any saugers.

We were just a shade over 29'. How long did you guys end up sticking around? Any size?? I can't believe with all of the nice fish we ended up with, we didn't get anything over 19". The saugers came a lot easier yesterday than on sat. You know your having fun when alls you have to pinch off are chub heads!! Awesome fishing...

It was just the opposite for us on Saturday. We could catch some saugers amongst all the walleyes but they were hard to come by yesterday in our house. Can't complain about throwing back nice walleyes though. We quit before noon. Biggest fish was just a tad over 26 inches and the old man reminded me of that several times. Lots of nice fish to release too.

Four of us caught 50-60 walleyes & saugers Fri & Sat. No perch or tulibees and 3 'pout. Kept 21 of them. Fished in about 25' of water. Fish bit on jigging spoons and horizontal jigs for the most part. Not real aggressive fish.

8 walleyes and saugers combined. Of which no more than 4 can be walleyes. Nothing in between 19 1/2" and 28" and only one over 28".

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
