Hey Bronco, I fished out of scenic yesterday 1-8-06 and found the road to be really good, and the ice looked a bit funny in some areas. A bit too milky white on the first 7-8" than I'd like to see but I drove out nonetheless! The fish were not in Isle bay, so I moved outside the bay another mile or so in front of the rock reef out from the Hennepin state park in 18 feet of sandy looking bottom with a few rocks strewn around. Caught a number of 9-12" perch and had fun with them. No eye's whatsoever. Not even on the camera.

Does not sound to good. is the bay usually good or not really? we are getting a 10 x 24 in 3 weeks so hopefully. I am bringing up the portable just to be safe during the day, maybe move around a little not sure. How much Ice did you have in the bay?

thanks-

Isle Bay was really good early for big perch, they seem to have moved out a bit from the bays. Saw them non-stop on the cam. The bay didn't have all that much more ice than the other areas of the lake I have been to, about 17" or so but as I said it looked mostly to be the frozen slush ice. Mille Lacs seems to have better looking ice farther from shore. There didn't seem to be a whole lot going on in Isle Bay, but the lady at scenic said there was a good night bite I guess. I'm waiting for the crappies of late ice up there in Isle Bay. Good luck when you go.

We fished at one of Dickies shacks Wednsday morning.

10:30 am til 12:30 pm. 4 guys kept 15 perch, 9 to 11 inches.

It was steady action. Jiggin was most effective with minnow head only. Mousy's also worked. Lot's of sorting...

We caught more fish in those 2 hours than we did in in five days at Winnie, Red and Lake of the Woods.

Good Luck...

Thanks for the information Scupper. Good to hear that we may have a chance at some decent action.

Got back from Dickie's today. Between the 4 of us we caught about 200 perch over the weekend. Had about 5 over 9 inches. The perch were only biting during the day. Constant action. But, once the sun set, we didn't have another perch. The only fish caught at night was a 4 lb. eelpout. We were using wax worms and euro larvae for the perch. The eelpout was caught at about midnight using a shiner.

Anyone out of Dickie's or Scenic bay this weekend?

thanks-

Broncs

Always next year I guess.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏

      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.

      Not sure where on the lake you are located, but Paul Bunyan Communications will be extending fiber optic internet for most of the south shore of the lake in the next couple years. If you’re in Beatty township like me, unfortunately we have been snubbed from the expansion.

      Our home, Casa De Miel, is in a quiet 1 street gated family neighborhood. With 3 bedrooms - 2 featuring en suite baths. The 3rd room with a beautiful new double queen bunkbed adjacent to the hallway half bath is perfect for kids. That bunkbed is made from the local protected Guanacaste wood, only dead harvested and available there, it is beautiful. All the wood and tile work is pretty cool - we couldn't afford those materials and workmanship here!!. The master has a spacious walk-in closet, and the bunkroom/office has an entire closet wall with safe. With the pool, internet, multiple big screens, an outdoor shower and lovely Casita with a roofed patio, it is perfect for multi-generational families, fishing expeditions, etc. Sleeping capacity is 8. Everything you need is there, and new, from beach and pool toys, PFDs, to quality kitchenware. Serving ware is patio safe, but the wine glasses are glass, so deploy the unbreakable stuff for the 3rd bottle or so. Our property managers are incredibly thoughtful and professional Americans, rated Superhosts on AirBNB. They check you in and are always available. The same crew thoroughly cleans and maintains the exterior landscaping after each visit, and are available additionally if you like for extended stays. Our property managers own their business and are the best - concierge level extra attention is easily arranged. The house is less than a mile to the closest town beach and about 2 miles to another beautiful beach featuring a fantastic beach restaurant. The fishing is great and as a flyfishing guide myself I can recommend thoroughly vetted captains to take you out with conventional tackle. There are kayak guides also. Shore fishing is great anywhere smart. Trout a couple hours uphill. There are local and top notch international grocery and retail stores. The famous 'Monkey Farm' (a unique recovery and animal rescue center with tours, beach horseback rides, etc.) is right there. Many excellent bars and restaurants. Moped and motorcycle, bike, golf cart, scooter and Ebike rentals are easy and about a half mile mile away towards the town center. Kayak, other water toys at the beaches. Surfing and surf lessons are available easily and depart from town beach, as well as whale watching and scenic coastline cruises - smart to research and if you choose, book ahead. We are a little over an hour to a beautiful National Park with hot springs, tours and zips lines, etc. The world famous Lake Arenal area with the volcano and hot springs is a little further, but a very easy day trip. Pricing is flexible but I had to put something in there, so I listed the average daily price. We prefer at least a 3 night rental. Pricing is dependent on your dates, and starts around $220/night - I can send a link with up to the minute pricing. Monthly and longer rentals offer significant discounts. The quiet season is beginning so it is a great time to visit! I have a rustic trout shack on the Madison, and drift rivers for smallies and muskies here in MN, WI, etc. It would be great to meet new fishing buddies through this rental. Maybe we can follow thru for some floats when our calendars line up, or otherwise share/swap resources or fishing opportunities! The property managers currently block out the calendar further than 6 months ahead. Any forum members can contact me and I will facilitate advance bookings. Feel free to email me if you have questions, here's the booking link. Thanks, Pura Vida - Vida de Tiron!

      Well since I'm all over this state during the year. Your either not in Minnesota, or your on a Hugh chunk of private land backed up to a state park or wildlife refugee! 🤭

      When I was deer hunting last fall, the obvious explosion of wildlife then was evident then too.  I saw over 50 deer, 20+ turkeys, and too many pheasants to count in a week.  Nothing has changed.  These mild fake winters have to be playing a big role in survival.  And if we get another good reproductive cycle in June, I would expect another booming fall season.
