I just booked with Twin Pines today for overnight on the 17th. Have people had good experiences going with them in the past? Nice fish?

I stayed in one of there sleepers this last weekend. I have stayed with them twice. Bill and Linda are real nice. Plan on taking portables. I haven't cuaght a fish out of one of there houses yet. Move around and get away from the crowds and you will do fine. 7 mile is where I ended up having the best luck. Lots of perch, no walleye.

Give me a call if you have some constructive advise on how to take our fishing more serious. We take it serious and invest time, dollars and effort to provide top notch service. Would like to hear from you. Thanks Bill

Bill,

I would like to thank you and Linda for your hospitality.

We can up Friday and stayed at a near by cabin. This was the second weekend in a row. We ate ALL of our meals with you and did a bit of social drinking as well grin.gif

On Saturday we brought our bags with and asked Linda if we could use a shower. (Cabin has been winterized and there is no running water) She said of course. We ate breakfast/Lunch and had a few beers and took showers. I can tell you with that kind of service we were back for lunch and breakfast the next day. Twin Pines is where we always eat our meals and have a social drink or two. I am sure they make every effort as for the fishing end of the business as well.

NUMBER 7 for breakfast ROCKS. Extra everything should sound familiar to you Bill.

I just got back from twin pines, they had nice shacks, good beds, good roads, great food, and tough fishing. I was a little dissapointed when we only caught a few 4 inch perch and 3 burbot. Sometimes i am sure their sleepers are on good fishing, just not last weekend.

I also just got back from a 24 hour sleeper from Twin Pines. Caught couple big pout and lost some nice fish early in the morning do to fisherman error!! I thought it was a nice place and nice sleeper, ya fishing wasn't hot but on mille lacs I have never had luck in a sleeper. No matter early/late season, good/bad spot, I have never produced in a rental. If I think about the days I have taken my portable out there and hunted them down the numbers of fish caught increased dramatically. I personally feel if you want to have a enjoyable and relaxing couple nights in warmth of a sleeper do it, but if you are really on mille lacs to fish for the bigguns' run your own operation with a map and GPS.

How'd you do that weekend? (02/17/06-2/19/06)I was up there, same resort, same time period. Probably next door? I pulled out 3 real nice eyes 1st night and 14 perch next day, 7 small, and 7- 12 to 15 inchers.

We were in one of their rentals friday night, #42 I think? Took a left where there were two cones. We caught a couple big eelpout and a small perch. First time ever seeing a pout. Fishing was slow but the beer still tasted good.

      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!
