Little Perch -

You are plenty welcome to come along. The dates are Friday March 26th to Sunday the 28th. If more guys jump in we will get another house (if available) or if someone drops out you are welcome to join in on the house we already have.

You are right - it is bring your own bottle, sleeping bag and ear plugs grin.gif.

We will come up with a menu somewhere down the road aways. I am thinking about doing Chicken Kiev / Linguini for the first night and a fish-fry for the second night. Then probably bacon / eggs for one breakfast and potato-sausage for the other. I think Leaky and I can handle the food for this. If we get another house going someone else can be the food planner for that one.

I am bringing the 12 volt fillet knife again guys...............Look out Willies here we come shocked.gif

Looks like a great menu! Someone going to be the designated coffee boy? Forgetting it would be a disaster. wink.gif By the way, what are the preferred flavor for refreshments?

Hey Northlander - Sure glad to see you are back in!! I'm only going to EAT bacon this trip. No cooking it for this guy. Bob's got a big club if I get anywhere near it grin.gif

Mom's coming down next weekend, so it's time to reload the freezer with some good ole Ely Food. Potato Sausage & Mock Chicken Legs. I'll bring a package of those mockers, along with the sausage, for a little mid afternoon treat.

MT - We definately can't forget the coffee. Put me down for a 30 pack of Schmidt, 1 pint of Root Beer, 1 qt of OJ, 1 gallon of milk, and 1 gallon of water. Just kidding grin.gif We can take care of each of our own beverages.

Gary, the dates are Friday March 26th to Sunday the 28th. Ace tells me you whip up some tasty shore lunch potatoes.

We are in luck little prech smile.gif. I just talked to Bryant and got us upgraded to his HUMONGOUS 10 man sleeper. Are you pumped about LOW or what??? I am glad we can fit you in! This is going to be FUN! (BTW - Up here we call them fish houses not "shanties" like you Cheese Heads do grin.gif.)

So you are from the Eau Claire area hey? I just got back from there a few minutes ago! I was down visiting my aunt in Pigeon Falls.

Coffee - Yes definitely! I have a 14 cup stainless steel pot that I will bring along. It should do the trick if it is just the seven of us. If we get more guys we may have to bring another. I am not sure what there is there for coffee pots but I can ask b4 then. I hate aluminum pot coffee. It don't taste like coffee...........

So anyway - We got room for 3 more guys now!!! And Bryant said he will fix us up with another house if we need it. I am not going to worry about a deposit at this time. Bryant trusts me on this and I feel I can count on there being enough guys to cover the one house. If we need a second house we can talk about it then. I thanked Bryant for giving us the 20% discount. That was way cool of those guys!!!

Gary - you are in charge of spud cooking for the fish fry. In fact maybe we should put you in charge of the entire fish fry grin.gif. Perhaps we should assign Leaky as your assistant. You gotta watch him though - he talks a lot and gets off task. He is easily redirected though grin.gif.

Leaky - bring your apron.

Rob - What else did Ace say about Gary? smile.gif

No keep leaky in the corner with his bottle. He has clean up duty. Cagun food isnt my cup of tea. grin.gif By the way Ill bring the muffler for him. Leaky would 151 Bacardi quiet ya down a bit? Oh and anyone drinking SCHMIDT beer in a 10 man house is banned. Way to gassy! grin.gif Ill bring some real beer, beef jerky, pop, water and anything else bob says to.
Bob with this many guys we have to have a 1st fish, biggest fish, ugliest fish and most fish pot! You can just give me your donations on my arrival. LOL
Well I cant wait!

You guys might as well pick up S.T. on your way too smile.gif.

S.T. - I am really happy to hear you jump in. Now we need to get Xplorer, Chunky, Catfish, Thin Line and REEFRAKER to jump in! Start working on those guys hey!

little perch - I am about 60 miles or so north of Duluth. My Dad was from Pigeon and my Ma was from Strum. We moved up here when the old man retired from the Navy in 74. Ya, I know guys - I'm a Navy Brat, can't you tell.

Northlander - We fershur need to have a fishing contest out of this. I'll gladly take your $ again grin.gif.

The cityiots, opps smile.gif, I mean Leaky and MT Net, are meeting me at my house around noon I think (Friday) and we are taking off from here. I live about 3 hours or so from Gibbins. Gary lives right down the road from me too so he can jump in with us if he wants. If other guys can't get going until later, I think that is okay. I believe Bryant will haul you out there when you show up as long as it is not real late.

Geez - I leave for one day to go watch Tanya Tucker strut her stuff on stage (pretty good stuff at that) and look at what I come back to.

Northlander-That 151 won't quiet me down, it'll PUT me down. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. grin.gif Just remember, those Scmidtys are refreshing in more ways than one grin.gif Good idea on the contests. I'll just give ya my George Washingtons now. Bob's a lock on the ugly fish. Did you see that picture of the pout he caught up there? The resemblance of him and the fish was uncanny. grin.gif

Little Perch - I lived in Ashland for a year a long time ago. Grew up in Ely and currently one of those citiots that live in the concrete jungle. Glad to see you are going to make it.

ST: You Da Man! Glad to see your going to make it. Uncensored it will be!!

Doc: Thanks for making the arrangements for a bigger house. Not only will I bring an apron, I'll see about finding a chefs hat. As an assistant, at least I'll look important. grin.gif Noon on Friday at your house it will be.

It looks like this trip has some potential. Can't wait!!

Dr. Bob! Citiots? Crap, a guy just can't win. blush.gifwink.gif I was fishing with Ace, and Gary pulls up to see whats going on. He said Gary makes a great shorelunch, then we talked about those tasty firepit potaotes, fried walleyes... then we agreed that us East Enders of the Big V were better looking. wink.gifgrin.gif

Leaky,
Good concert? I have such a chef's hat, I'll find room in the pack for it. Schmittys? Not any of those big city designer brews? grin.gif Pig's Eye anyone? wink.gif

Looks like we're not short on camp cooks and food.

Speaking of Tunes - does anyone have a good boom box that runs off of 12 volt?

There are 12 volt batterys in all of the houses. I have got lots of CD's and a boom box, but it is not the greatest.

When it was just the 3 of us I was going to bring my 9" TV/DVD/CD player and we were going to watch some "Movies". I think with this many guys I should probably leave it home.

We need tunes though..............

Yeah, forget tunes.

When Leaky speaks, it's like an electromagnetic burst that shorts out all telecommunications. wink.gif

LOL. OH...........yous guys.

Northlander - The wife made me do it. Thats OK, though. It was a small price to pay to spend the rest of the winter fishing. Rest assured, there will be no TT playing in the boom box. (Or Cher for that matter, that was the last concert I got dragged to.)

MT: I thought Schmidt WAS a designer brew. Ever see those cool deer on the cans? grin.gif

Bob - Today I'm cookin up that pheasant you brought down. Should be some good chow after the Vikes game. Thanks again.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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!
    • PSU
      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
