Hey everybody,was thinking about coming up to the big pond this afternoon with my port and a three-wheeler. I don't need any specifics but was wondering about where my options are to fish with this set-up in regards to ice conditions. I usually go out of Angler's Inn. I fish hard so staying out all night or the weekend in my portable is not a problem. Again, I'm not looking for specifics as that would be cheating, just maybe what structure I can reach. Thanks for any and all help.

With a wheeler and portable the options are unlimited. You can get wherever you want to on the lake, but you still have to check your path and watch for changing ice condtions. There are still decent size cracks forming out there that you have to steer around. Bring a couple of boards to bridge the gaps and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the tips Adam.
Would I be able to get further out than the North Shore Breaks, like to Deans or the Boot, if I go out of Red Door, or am I better off going on at the West side and staying somewhat near some people since I'm not quite a expert on big lake ice conditions?

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
