Neighbor has been getting Pike on tip-ups out there, over now of course. Driving out in his Ram 1500 with no worries. Many vehicles on Fannie and Skogman in the last week or so. I have been doing okay on Crappies, but are mostly smaller in size. Have not been out in a week. Post if you have any luck or get out.

I have been in 28 fow, 6-8 ft of the bottom. Using Crappie minnows, seems the smaller, the better. Was on Skogman, by the way....(Keep in mind, this is a couple of weeks ago now)

I was out on Fannie sat. morning. Picked up a few sunnies along with 3 crappies and a couple of bass.

I was parked off the hwy 95 boat launch. When I came off the lake my buddy and I noticed that someone backed into my boat trailer. Broke off the left side tail light, with some light damage to the trailer. Total HIT AND RUN !!!

Lucky that I live close to Fannie lake, driving home with one tail light.

As of 1-21-07, 13 inches of ice (fairly consistant).

Fished from 4-9PM and was better than limit with some sorting. Not big fish, but barely okay. Lake had some traffic, but not too bad.

Vehicles are driving out. I wouldn't, but some are.

Hey,

I've been wanting to do some tip-up fishing on Fannie for Northern. Anyone know of any good places for this?

Thanks..........

Go straight out from the swimming beach access to the point. There is a pretty good weed line there. My son pulled a 6 lb through the hole yesterday.

Good Luck!!

Sounds good - I think I know that weed line. There's usually a few houses sitting there I think. What kind of bait were you using for the northern. I guess I was thinking some shiners should work. Thanks!

Tyrone01 It is in a group of 4 or 5 houses just northwest of the grass islands at the south end ,the fishhouse is light brown with green trim and a barn style roof. Where is your house?I was out last night with my 12 year old from 4:30 TO 7:00 we got 18 crops and 2 gills most were small. The crappies don't seem to grow very fast in fannie.

      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!

      if you have a jig and a minnow, lots of fish on all depths. Trust your electronics

      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.
