Rino,
I'll be up Sat morning. Have a house rented for the weekend. Hopefully we will have enough snow so I can bring the snowmobile to do my venturing out, If I get rid of this cold.Maybe we will see you up there.
Good luck.
I heard they are moving the houses out to the second reef.

I'm heading up early Friday morning hope to be on the Ice at dawn. We are also renting out of RR with a fairly large group. Hope to see you up there Look for my red Chevy Blazer. Also I just bought a light blue portable yesterday so we'll be moving around a bit on the reef to find the biters. smile.gif

Good luck and tight lines,

This weekend was kind of slow, however one guy in our party iced a 33" wallhanger. I had one break my line just before we left, other than that I caught 4" perch to my heart's content. Hope you all had better luck.

Rino was this the fish? If not I would love to see a picture of it. If it was a 33" the buddy probably caught the biggest eye to be pulled from this lake in a several years.

THIS WEEKEND WAS A LITTLE BUT SLOWER THAN LAST WEEKEND, BUT I DO HAVE A GREAT STORY ABOUT THE FISH OF A LIFETIME. LETS CALL HIM TONY. HE HAS BEEN COMING UP WITH HIS WORK GROUP FOR 6 YRS AND IT IS USUALLY JUST TIME ON THE TUNDRA WITH THE GUYS . AT 11:30 ON FRI HE DECIDES TO JIG WITH A PERCH JIG FOR THE MANY LITTLE PERCH THAT WILL BE JUMBO SIZE IN 3 YRS. AS HE IS JIGGING FOR THE PERCH HE GETS BIT BY A 31 INCH WALLEYE. PICTURE IS ON THE FRONT PAGE. HE THINKS HE STUCK ON THE ICE BUT THE LINE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLE, SO HE IS NOT STUCK ON THE ICE. THEN HE PULLS ON IT AND IT PULLS BACK. HE IS USING A WAX WORM AND A SMALL PERCH JIG. NEVER WOULD YOU THINK THAT A WALLEYE WOULD GO FOR SUCH A SMALL BAIT, BUT IT MUST HAVE PISSED HER OFF. FISH OF A LIFETIME THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. GREAT JOB GETTING HER IN TONY. HE WAS IN 20 FT JUST OFF OF THE 2ND REEF. IN SHACK 5. NOW I DO NOT WANT A BUNCH OF REQUESTS FOR SHACK 5.

Yep I was with let say Tony. We had a great time!!! I sometimes think that fish always have room for a tiny morsle even if they have been gorging themselfes on perch. It's like eating a thanksgiving meal and someone offering you an M&M - no problem.

Bigeyes - I caught 3 walleyes out on sliver flat saturday - all small - but 2 of them were caught with small perch jig and wax worm. I was surprised to catch them and they were aggressive when they hit it, too. I thought they were nice size perch when they hit but no soap! Just a little info.

At the risk of being accused of bragging - the coolest part of that whole deal is that the fish was caught on 2 lb test line!!

Talk about patience!

Unfortuneatly, this fish hasn't been weighed. We didn't have a scale, the resort didn't have a scale, and the taxidermist didn't have a scale. Oh well, it's still a big one.

Just for the record, the fish measured 31 1/4 inches with a steel tape without pinching the tail (it was frozen at that point)

Kewl-don't worry I am sure this is not the first time a 31.25 was called a 33". LOL. That is the way we fisherman were taught to tell the stories right. Nice fish maybe Rick can put it up on the site.

Considering that the fish was froze and he couldnt pinch the tail it is very possible it was 32+ either way a very nice fish.To bad he couldnt find a scale.

Unfortunatly this is one of those years that fishing is tough.Although there are a lot of walleyes around there are a zillion perch down there so the walleyes dont need to go far for a meal.About the only good thing I can say is that there are a lot of big fish around and if your looking for a trophy and not quanity it isnt a bad place to be.
Good Luck

Looking for that fish of a lifetime is the main reason I go to the big lake. Perch fishing should be great out there in a few years to. It will be nice to have something keep for the pan.

I received a very nice photo of this fish from a friend of mine yesterday. If someone would like to post it I'd happy to send it them.

Sorry, I'm not too fancy with all that computer stuff.

      My fishing trip started June 1st and it's been tough!

      By mtheis · Posted

      My go to lures with lead core have been #5 Shad Raps and #7 Jointed Rapalas.  With Shad Raps I usually start about 2 mph with 85 ft of lead out in 20 ft of water. I usually use a 20 ft mono leader.  With Jointed Rapalas I let out 100ft of lead traveling 2 mph.  I am moving between 20 and 25 ft of water.

      My name is HANNA HENRY .I want to give thanks to HAKEEM AHMED for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person,It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with HAKEEM AHMED. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. HAKEEM AHMED makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email [email protected] or text or add him up on whatsApp at: +27788392740 his web page http://astrologerastrology.com

      I love pulling lead core but usually don't pull it out until later in the season.  Can you share depth and speed numbers that were working with lead?  Thanks.

      Heading up early Saturday morning. Going to be a short, discombobulated trip this year. Starting with 4 of us but one has to leave to watch his son play in state (WI) baseball tournament on Tuesday. Rest of us are only there until Wednesday. Kind of disappointing but I'm thinking we'll have to make a trip in September as well.    Forecast calls for wind!

      Those are cormorants and they are aggressive fish eaters.  I saw more last weekend than typical on vermilion.  Pretty common  on the east end but I don’t usually see much of any on the west which is where we were.  They eat a lot of fish and surprisingly large fish for their size so they aren’t great for the fish populations.     I can’t believe how fast the water warmed up.  We were seeing up to the high 70’s last weekend.  Typically mid June is mid to upper 60’s.  The Muskies didn’t seem to be too fired up with the quick warm up.  The ones we moved were lazy and would not go in to the turn.  Hopefully some more normal temps this week help.
