anybody poked around on oliver or artichoke yet? if so whats the ice like? going to find out for myself this coming friday; im sure by the time i get up that way there will be some crazies driving cars on the ice after this cold snap this coming week.

Haven't heard a thing yet. Lots of geese have been using both lakes this fall. Oliver is a deep one and Artichoke has alot of springs. I got relitives over that way so if you do try it please reply back with your wealth of knowledge. smile.gif Oliver should be about ready to pop alot of fish.

heading out to oliver right now. a little late but im driving up from sioux falls for the weekend and my buddy is sitting down there right now. will report back with some ice measurements tomorrow afternoon. hope to get up early and spend the morning walking around artichoke with the auger too....then its up to waska for the weekend.

Thanks for the info. Fished Waska last Fri., 6. Sat. 6 for two guys. Mon 3 for one guy and his 4 year old daughter. I don't like the trend. Could the great Walleye fishing be behind us as far as Waska goes. Tried Reno today. Was on a reputable spot for ten perch & one 16" Eye.

Would'nt mind trying Oliver or Artichoke this weekend. Any info would be great. Do you fish on West or East side of Oliver? By the sunken road? Perch, Eyes or Crappies? Ice info would be helpfull.

stopped on oliver to check on my buddy thursday night...he was the first one to make any tracks or holes for that matter on the south east bay. crappy ice with lots of air pockets as little as 3 inches in spots. i think i'll wait a while to go back.

      Ya, 120.00 sux. I have Access Broadband, they just raised their rate from 50.00 to 75.00. I'm lucky to get 3 to 5 mbts up or down, sometimes I'll get better. In fairness to them, they have been great trying to respond to my needs, but just can't improve my service. They said that they doubt I'll ever be able to stream a Wild game. I just purchased a new streaming box and it buffers none stop. With the new streaming box and the referral discount, I'll be able to cancel Sling, so, I'll save about 10.00 on my monthly bill. That's what I told my wife 😀 it's true...

      That's a better price than when I bought a few years ago. I pulled the giant box across the ice on an old Radio Flyer sled late winter.   Good luck. You'll enjoy Starlink, except for paying the bill. Mine was originally $100/mo, then $110/mo, then they said I was in a low usage area so they dropped my bill to $90/mo for the last two years. I just got a letter a month or so ago saying that we are now in a "high usage" area so they raised it to $120/mo.

      I did the app thing. The best place is the middle of my yard and that's not going to happen. I have a tripod stand and a "J" type stand. I've also looked at trimming some trees for a better view of the sky. Once I get it, I'll have to try different areas. Maybe I'll have to hire a guy to climb my tree and install it- I've seen YouTube videos on that. Middle of my roof looks to be somewhat clear, but I don't like to put holes in the shingles. Plus, it's a 12/12 pitch and I don't have Velcro shoes. If anyone is looking to buy Starlink, it's on sale till 4/30 at $159.00. If you do buy it, I can give to a referral code and we'll both get a free month.

      With the current conditions and weather forecast I would still stick to Sunday, May 4th.  I almost guarantee Vermilion will be ice-free by the opener on May 10th.  Very likely someone on the list will have the correct date.

      Black Bay began opening yesterday afternoon. I could see ice moving around in the middle.

      I've got it too. It works great if you can get a clear view of the sky, works decent if there are blockages. I had to take down two trees and still have branches that reach out and interrupt.   Some people have their dish mounted on shore which probably helps a lot. You can download the Starlink app and then walk around your property. It will assess any spot to see if you'll get enough coverage.

      I've seen them at the Cub in Minnetonka and just a few weeks ago, the Cub in Chanhassen. The little smelt, smaller than sardines.
