I have some folks inquiring about cell phone coverage on Red. How is the coverage for. T-mobile and sprint? (Brokers sneaking to the lake mid week wink.gif )

Posted

Last year my sprint phone worked on winnie but lost the signal halfway from winnie to red. My buddy had Verizon and that worked on red no problem

Posted

My T-mobile phone loses signal about 5-6 miles north of Blackduck. Unicell is one that I know works. Theirs' is the tower you can see by northeast end near the old hatchery.

Posted

I know my verizon phone works also but;

lets really get crazy-How about the Blackberries?

at&t works i believe....sprint will not work as of this summer.......

Posted

While fishing URL last winter, I found my cell phones best feature.

It doesn't work on URL!!!!!!!

Posted

i used my verizon phone up there last year and had full power all over the lake and hope to make it up there again.

I have Sprint and it works on analog roam while on the lake... I have had no problems staying connected while using it.

Some of the newer phones are digital only and won't work no matter the service. Verizon works great if your phone is analog capable. Stan C.

Thanks guys. I have verizon so I can work from the ice. Those other jokers are just going to have to stay in the office and work. laugh.gif

No T-mibile at all. With Sprint you are roaming. I used to have cell 2000 and it was good.

Posted

I have AT&T (Cingular) and it's flakey at best.

Posted

I like the phones that get ZERO coverage on the lake. Just me, my bobber and Captain Morgan. Oh and I almost forgot the constant sound of gas augers humming in my ears.

Posted

Years ago, my analog AT&T worked fine. Last summer, my new digital did not work while at Roger's Campground. Maybe it would while out on the lake confused.gif

Last winter my PCS ATT wouldnt work in WestWinds parking lot but my buddies with Sprint seemed to work fine. I'm thinking of switching to Verizon when my contract expires next year.

      Upper Red’s been doing what she does—giving up fish if we’re out there early and paying attention.   Walleye bite’s solid in 6 to 9 feet, especially just off the breaks. Pre-dawn into first light is where it’s at. Shiners on a slow drift—still the ticket.   Later in the day, it slows down, but if we move around and work those inside turns or subtle drops, we can still find fish.   It’s not complicated—just good spring fishing. Clean air, steady water, and enough bites to make it worth the drive.

      Leech made you earn it this week. Wind moved through most days, shifting the bait. Walleyes were spotty, but a few were pulled around Sand Point and Goose Island with slow jigs and shiners—nothing fancy, just working the spots slow.   Crappies gave a nice surprise one calm evening in the flooded reeds—5 to 8 feet, little pink jig under a slip bobber. When they showed up, it was fast and fun for about a half hour.   The trick right now? Stay patient and don’t overthink it. Leech’ll give up fish, just not to folks in a rush.

      Mille Lacs was steady—not fast, but steady. Walleyes are hitting in 6 to 12 feet, especially on gravel edges with a bit of weed growth. A plain red hook and leech is still the go-to—keeps things simple and productive.   Best bite’s been early morning or just before dusk. Cloud cover helps. Smallmouth are starting to show on rock piles and wind-blown points, but they’re not fired up yet. A few more warm days, and they’ll be on.   Overall? Not a lights-out bite, but a good, honest day if we put the time in.

      Greetings,   My buddy and I are headed to the Big V in early June. We've been up there the last two years around the same time. The one fish that eludes us is, surpringly, bluegill.   Here in my home state of Nebraska, if I throw a beetle spin into any sort of structure from spring to fall, I'm guaranteed to catch decent sized bluegill and the occasional crappie. When we're at vermilion, however, we only catch bass and a rare perch on the beetle spins.   Can anyone help me understand why this is? We've tried every shallow structure we can find but we've never caught a single blue. This type of lake is entirely different to what we normally fish (and way colder) so I'm completely unfamiliar with their habits.   I would also love to know where the crappie are during this time of year. We mostly target bass and walleye, but, we'd love to have some ultralight fun with panfish.   Thanks!

      Their dad's got that covered!  👌
    • smurfy
      👍 did you teach them to clean fish!!!!!!!!🤗🤗
    • partyonpine
      Was a great opener caught them 30+ during day. 7-10 feet tonight. Capped the night off with a 28 inch fish.
