I kept 5 between 11-12 inches. The wind was blowing pretty good so I just drifted the lake and pickup a few every drift. Any where from 11 feet to 14 feet. The fish are usually scattered.Good luck and let me know how you did.

Well it was a b u t full day on the lake but that is all that I can say. We didn't have much luck 3 small crappies 2 sunnies 1 thern and had a few walleye bites. There were 7-10 other boats out 5 in the same area and we saw 3-4 crappies pulled in all morning. not alot of action!!! We left around noon.. used leeches, plastics, and minnows. all crappies caught on plastics, leeches got nibbled and bit off a few times and minnows not much action.... Jigged off the bottom used floats tried alot of presentations anywhere from 4-14 ft.

I was out there this evening and there was quit a crowd,craps seem to be hitting good from what I could see but I didn't have much luck as I stayed off to the side of the rest of the boats,one thing I would like to point out though is RESPECT as I didn't see a whole lot of it out,Guys arguing over fishing spots,boats pulling in on others tangling lines,now tell me is a few fish that important?let's have some courtesy for others as it's a time to enjoy ourselves!I'm new to the area and tonight was my first time on Ann.Is it like that alot out there?

I think it is like that in that area Knife/Ann/Fish. Typical selfish people who think that it is their fish and their lake. Nothing makes me as angry as those people. It goes both ways too. Some people don't want you within 100 yards of their boat and other people will work their way in to the middle of a group of boats.

On Saturday morning 5 boats cruised in and out of each other but everybody seemed friendly. We talked as other boats trolled by and they all gave pointers or updates as to what they caught or what they were fishing for.....but the fish were not biting hard either........I will leave that lake alone till winter then give it a shot again.........Good Luck and have fun!!!!

Ive had people setup their fish house within 10 feet of where I was fishing. Dont let anyone see or know if you're catching fish on that lake.

Good luck in the winter I fished the lake many times and never did very well maybe we could get together and fish. I usually fish by myself because I work most weekends. Shoot me a email and I'll tell you the type of plastics I use. The time I was on the lake there where alot of boats and no problems with the boats Good luck everybody

      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
