Sunday pre Super Bowl tip-up and game feed.


Recommended Posts

Thanks to TCBrookston for organizing and then putting on a forum on on-the-ice cooking! I think that I'm still stuffed from all the rib-eyes I "had" to put down to keep them from getting too cold!!! Definitely a good day to be on the ice. Lots of flags, good food and the usual good company. Good to see everybody again. As he went to sleep, Duncan was murmuring something about wanting to ride on Billy's four wheeler tomorrow and then something about why bigtallSteve kept driving ST's truck to go potty.

One of the pike I cleaned up tonight had 2 big shiners and a smelt in her gut...all with hook slots in their back. Third time's a charm I guess.

I'll try to get Saturday on the calendar. Should be pretty do-able if I can promise an ATV will be available for rides!!!

Looks like our houses will have to come on Sat if we do it. Looking at highs of 11. Well looks like we are going to finally get some Mn winter after all.

Im glad the fishing was fun because I lasted all of 5 minutes at the KQ Superbowl party. Doors were supposed to open at 4:30 and by the time we got there at 4:35 there wasnt a good seat in the house left. Went and got some pizza and drinks and sat at home on a nice warm couch in front of a TV I could see and watched the reffs take the game away from the Seahawks. What a poor crew of Refs that was. For a Superbowl crew they were terrible! Who ever heard of hitting below the waste on a tackle? crazy.gif

Well Poutslayer looks like you dont have to sell that Black n Gold Jersey now. grin.gif

There sure was some bad calls and non calls. I believe the Steelers were a better team anyway. That was a horrible call on the tackle by Hassleback. The ruling is you can't hit a blocker below the waist during an interception return. The guy with the ball was so close to his blocker that the refs thought Hassleback hit the blocker into the ball carrier. But he made a nice tackle.

Haha, TC, very funny. I'm claiming interference in that my concentration was only 50% on the hook set and the other 50% on looking over my shoulder to see if I was the potential victim of a 32 Belly Option! blush.gif I hope you got video of the blazing 4.2 sec. 40-time speed displayed by Northlander and I. grin.gif

Next Saturday might not work for me. Sunday would be better, but I have a feeling Northlander and Poutslayer might be working. I'll just have to play it by ear.

It may have been a 4.2 time however it was over in 10 feet. There is something to said for a quick first step. Thanks to Lota and T.C. for the fine eats and to Duncan for showing Billy how ride the four wheeler. As we were leaving the ice Craig(my son) commented how much fun he had and those guys sure knew alot about fishing. I am still trying to figure out who he meant.

Hey Kettelkid the youngster is growing up and learning. Nice to see him take the skates off for a while and try out the hardwood. Even if its short lived it will help him in the long run. You know kids, in a year he may want to be a figure skater! blush.gif Well maybe not hey?

As far as who knows a lot about fishing I think he was talking of how we rounded up the fish and drove them into the tip up mine field with the 4 wheeler. grin.gif

Hey Guys,

It sure sounds like you had a good time. I'm sorry that I missed it. I work this Saturday and will be down to the cities on Sunday for a 50th Anniv. party. I'm going to throw out a date of Sunday the 19th. I'm off that weekend and I know a few are fishing a contest on Saturday the 18th. Let me know if this day will work for any of you and we'll see what we can set up.

Take care,

Tom (BD110)

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
