Marion Lake *DELETED*


Recommended Posts

I haven't been out there lately, but I can tell you the ice is very un-even. So if you do go, take a shovel and a pick and make darn sure of your thickness with each step you take.

The ice is fine, just follow the tracks of people, 5-6 inches pretty well all over, just stay away from the shorelines. This snow that is suppose to be coming isnt gonna help, but oh well. The fishing hasnt been impressive at all either. Anyone catching any panfish in the Hutch area??

Watch out on Marion. Straight out from the north landing has only 1". NE shore has pretty good ice, 5" to 6". Not alot of action out there though. Best bet is 3pm to 6pm.

Was out on Marion this afternnon with my daughter. we got out there around 2 pm and setup. What happened after that is beyond belief. Some (Contact US Regarding This Word) came out at 5pm and setup no less than 30 feet from me. Hey boneheads!! Dont you know anything about fishing? Even though the fish werent jumping through the holes you dont come out during prime time and setup right next to someone. I guess their mothers never taught them any manners!! I had my portable and immediately packed up and left. They had a big perm house and I assume they were going to spend the night or whatever. Still makes me mad though. I dont get out fishing with my daughter that often and to have someone ruin what was a good day out really steams me. It is because of people like that I dont fish around here very often or else go tolakes with less fishing pressure. The thing is I know those people and I know the way they fish and their fishing ethics. There I vented now I feel better. mad.gif

30 feet huh? Maybe someone should read the fishing regs...last time I looked the law said you could set up 10 feet away. Maybe they could first get out there at 5 o'clock. What if you had to work and could first get out to the lake at "prime time" & the fish were on a suicide mission on a certain piece of structure...bet you'd be setting up within 10 feet of someone. Get off your high horse-you don't own the lake tongue.gif LOL

There...now I vented, too! grin.gif

The point I was trying to make is that most fishermen wouldn't set up 30 feet away from someone during " primetime". I can't speak for other people, but I would never do that. I consider that to be just plain rude. I am familiar with the game and fish laws and I can honestly say that I know I " don't own the lake", but come on 30 feet away. I admit I vented a little on the last post and in my eyes I had every right to be a little miffed. I guess from now on I'll just be a little more receptive to the fact that most people will do what they want no matter what.

This too shall pass!! smile.gif

Nice vent and I agree. Marion is FAMOUS for "boneheads" who insist on coming out at "prime hours". I don't care when you get of work. Any real, sincere, considerate fisherman shouldn't be acting that way. I know what the regs say also, but a little common sense and courtesy can make the difference between having a venting FM'er and a memorable outing with one's child. I, for one, do not fish Marion for this same exact reason, by the way.

      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!

      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.
