wind was 20-35 kept me from going out I hear they are driving out in Garrison lake should be fine but check with local resorts and bait shops

I did not fish but did drive past the west side of the lake this afternoon. Looked like lots of smaller cracks due to the wind and warm weather. I am looking at going tomorrow to but some of the shorelines up the west side looked kind of spooky

It was really windy, but the ice is fine. We fished the SE side and it was as windy as it gets. about 9 inches of ice, and fish biting. Slowed down in the afternoon though. Hope this helps

It definitley was windy but the ice in the bays at Macs held up no problem. Kevin reports 7" in the bay and 9" out near the points. Didn't fish, just finished a remodel project on the house. Bill

Took Portables out of the North End Saturday to try and get out of the wind. It was brutal. Did very well on Perch between 3-4:30pm and hit a few walleyes a bit shallower at dusk and after dark. Also pulled 4 of those nasty 'pout..man were they fat.

Saw a truck driving across Garrison bay sunday and others looking for a place to cross a pressure ridge with their vehicles. PLEASE be careful out there! We've got great ice forming and an early start to the season. No need to push it. I didn't make it out myself but I heard 8 to 9 inches of ice on the west side. Be safe!!!

      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!
