Quick, I'm thinking south out of Hi-Banks Resort. Theres and Island to the left and we can setup between there and shore.

Its probably the shortest walk to some decent eye water and within radio shot from the resort. I'll be out there Sat for some pregathering scouting.

Looks like the cabin #3 has Northlander, BD110, Surface Tension, Green n Gold and Cheffrey. Little Perch if he makes it in time. I will bring my cot to sleep on. May need 1 more guy to bring a cot.

For you guys coming to the event you dont have to pay the launch fee at Highbanks!!! Its on Tim for Sunday only.

Please everyone support Tim at Highbanks and get your chubs from him Sunday morning. He is the only way on the lake and not charging us so please support him and buy your bait and other needs from him.

Porter due to having so much snow on the lake Highbanks is the only way on the lake at this time. Thats driving, you can walk off of hundreds of spots with permision ofcourse. wink.gif

As of a few minutes ago Tim is the only one plowing any roads and his road goes to Crappie Village and Airplane Island areas.

You could have before all this snow. Im guessing going off the plowed road with a truck will be hard. Stay away from the dam and bridge areas of course.

Geez, Steve, Frank didn't even name you and you hop right in there and defend yourself? The guilty flee when no one pursueth. blush.gif

But you may have another chance some day. That shack, broken floor and all, has been languishing in another friend's back yard for two years. It is about to come to my yard, where I'll repair it and put it back out on Bside, probably next year. The Chunkyshack reborn!! grin.gif

Hey, I'm going to try to come out and join you guys. But, I don't have any fancy equipment, not even a shelter. Just the bare essentials. Should I just come out and slum around with everyone? Someone mentioned buying chubs. I've never even ice fished with those before. (Just waxies...) I suppose if that's what people are using then I need bigger jigs too.

And are people walking or driving out? Is there anyone I can meet up with either in town or out there?

bbock, don't worry about equipment if you find yourself in need of something I am sure there will be someone with xtra's there to help you out. Bait will be available at Hi Banks, if you find you need chubs to catch fish then it isn't very far to go get some. We shall cya tommorrow.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!
    • leech~~
      Their not really that hard to get.  Just use an F150! 🤭
    • smurfy

    • Kettle
      Caught him on a number 7 1/2, ounce and an 1/8 lure...
    • PSU
      if you have a jig and a minnow, lots of fish on all depths. Trust your electronics
    • chaffmj
      What did you catch that furry one on, a special flying lure?

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
