I am looking for someone interetsed in hitting Tonka or Indy on Labor Day. I typically get there early (around 5:30) and plan on spending 6 hours or so on the water.

I have a 16ft Northwood, 40 h.p Merc that fits two comfortably. You can email me at [email protected] if interested.

We have a spot on a boat until this Friday, the 10/6, we're planning on fishing each day. We are from Oregon and would love a Musky master to join us to help accelerate the learning curve a bit. There's two of us and the boat has three seats, though it isn't all that large. Or we would have no problem going in someone else's boat. We're in Watertown, so any Metro area lake is fine.

We promise to feed you, buy you beers after/during, pay you, whatever wink.gif

I'd rather be a little poorer than more frustrated at this point. I was fine until someone told me they caught five muskies on Tonka today. I caught one Northern on a topraider, which at least proved to me it was possible to catch a fish on such a contraption. We caught a 36" on Waconia yesterday, so we're not completely inept, but feel generally clueless and need confirmations/corrections of our suppositions.

Thanks!

I lost my boat due to finding a hole the previous owner didn't tell me about. Long story short, I'm without a boat this fall. I have always wanted to fall fish. I had a kidney removed two weeks ago and am feeling good enough to fish. I'm home from work for the next two weeks so free to fish whenever. I live in St. Paul, but can meet you anywhere. I will help pay for gas, bait, whatever. My truck has a pass to the Washington county parks, which gets you into Anoka as well. Let me know if your interested. You can email me at [email protected]

So...Will this thread apply to ice fishing, too? I'm hoping to get out on the north end of Lower Prior Friday at noon. I'd have room for 1 more in a portable, but I was hoping to cover a little more ground and try to find a good spot for my perm, running and gunning.

I hope so...I like fishing with new peeps and seeing as most of mine are punks and don't care for ice fishing it would be really helpful. I live within a mile of Calhoun, Harriet and all that so I'll keep posted as to when I'm heading out. I might try this weekend sometime. I checked the ice last night and was still a little sketchy for me but hopefully with last night and today it will stiffen up enoungh to get out there.

I'd be willing to help out a novice, with some ice fishing & share a seat in my portable, during the week.

BTW, wish they had this in other area forums. I'm heading to Duluth and would love to wet a line a few times. I think I'll be restricted to drying-up trout streams.

Hi chise31 & Sandmannd

I will be hitting Lake Minnetonka as much as possible, trying to learn a little bit about her. Hitting bays from East to West. Took two kids last night, the vex was full but the bite was slow & we only caught 20 crappies, we each kept a few of the nice fish for a bite & put back the rest, but they had fun...that's the main thing. I'm free the next 2 nights, but will be busy this weekend w/cleaning out and re-stuffing wood duck houses & putting up a dozen more with the help of some youth waterfowlers;). Next week is all good too.

I'm "allowed" to go out Friday's after work (around 4 or so) and Sunday's in the morning and on occassion to the afternoon. I go out alone a lot of times, but it's more fun with someone along. If your interested let me know. I've got a 16' boat. I go to the Croix quite a bit and some local lakes. I live in St. Paul. If your interested, buzz me an email at [email protected].

Hey Rivernut, I just sent you an email. Not sure what was wrong with my email. The addy should be s_e_hendricks at comcast.net. A lot of people miss the "_" in the names.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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
    • leech~~
      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!
