I agree with Harvey Lee, but apparently we can't give out any information about the walleye bite according to some people. Luckily, that's not how I roll! Try it towards evening casting a #5 deep runner rap orange combinations to shore. Good luck! tuk

I dont think anyone has a problem with giving out bait and tackle info or the depth of water.

The reason people get upset with to much info like the exact gps location of the bite is that can do alot of harm to the fishery.Some lakes can recieve so much pressure from location it will do some harm.

There are alot of members that read these posts along with many that are not members.

Keep up the good posting and have a great fall fishing.

My experience with these swminn lakes is when they are on, It could just as well be printed in the tribune!! Plenty of people know! And for the most part you are catching stocked fish! Some would like it to be there private pond! But its there for ALL to enjoy.My opinion is the fish gods will smile on you if you help when you can! cool.gif

Saturday would be the day to go, according to the weather forecast. I'll bet they shut down on Sunday after the front moves through.

Too bad I'm stuck home with the kids this weekend. I seem to be stuck at home a lot lately. Gotta figure out a way to get "un-stuck". grin.gif

You know, that'd prolly work with the two older ones (ages 4 and 12), but I don't think the 3 month old would get along very well with just bread, hotdogs, and her two older brothers. grin.gif

Caught some nice walleyes pitching a beetle spin (chartruse/green) tipped with a small piece of crawler along the shoreline east of the county park on the south side of the lake starting at the rocky point and working eastward. caught most of them right before sundown and one after dark at about 9:30 pm.

pretty good storms around there last night, wonder if that screwed it up?!?!?! I was reffing in Slayton and we almost stopped that game several times due to lightening off to the North...

Any one been out lately? Depending on the weather I'll either be duck hunting or fishing. If it's windy and crappy I'll try to shoot some ducks. If it's nice out I'll put the boat on Sarah and troll around a bit.

      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
