Anybody been out chasing anything on sand or bowstring, have a cabin on sand but have been going up to LOW. Was thinking about skipping the hour and a half drive and fishing bowstring. Anybody find and crappies out there yet. Any info would be great.

My son and I were on Bowstring on SAT. got a nice mix of Crappie Perch and Pike. You can get around good with atv or snowmobile a couple small pickups out there. Not to many fishing Sand yet a couple houses by the island the Pike action has been hot there but on the small side getting some eyes in early morning and about dark. Many reports of a good Walleye bite on Winnie the best reports for Perch have come from the Third river to Zoomers area and where the Miss. run in out to Sugar bar. A few Crappie and Gills are being found on Cutfoot during midday and the mid lake structure has an evening chance at some eyes. You can get around good with Atv's or snowmobile 6 to 8 inches of snow most places. The reports have been very limited coming from Winnie but that will change with Christmas vacation coming.

How is the current ice conditions? Any slush, and how deep is the snow on these lakes? Curious as we will be up this weekend and aren't sure whether to bring atv or snowmobile to get around. Any info would be very much appreciated.

      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.
