Honest truth for Sat Eve and Sun Morning

Recommended Posts

I and a few friends were staying out of Garrison Sports this weekend. His houses are on Myr Mar. We only caught one walleye in 3 days. Tons of 3inch perch on the camera all over. Friday we fished all over the lake in portables and only one walleye and a perch. Saturday evening we headed over to Kraus flat. we fished some little hump on the east side. we fished the west side of that hump. It didn't have a name on my map. there was only one house within a 100 yards of us and the next closes houses were at least a mile. The fishing only lasted for about a half hour in each the moring and evening. Here's what we caught. 2 12" eyes, 6 keepers 15-19", one 23", one 24" and one 27". One of the portables was fishing the very northern tip and caught nothing. They were about 200 yards away. When we talked to others Sunday morning no one did as well as we did. But I guess to venture out in that weather we deserved it.

How far to the east was this hump? The only hump that I can find on my GPS is about a quarter mile away. Will be heading up wednesday morning and was njust wondering what the hot bait was. Any info would be appreciated.

We were fishing on the west side of Mry Mar. The spot I'm talking about is a flat about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long. It was exactly 1.77 miles from the fishouse we were staying in straight east. I threw the whole tackle box at them for jigging. Caught 90% of the fish on a plain red hook and bobber. Hope that helps. We were also fishing on the west side of that flat. It comes up to 26' on the gps map but I found 24'. We were fishing the top right next to the drop in 26' of water. Hope that helps

Thanks for the time bendandsend. Also, thank you slotlimit for the info. I'll put up a report on thursday evening.

Looking forward to hearing the report. I hope you do as well as we did. By the way we fished the NW side of the structure. Some buddies were on the NW tip and caught nothing. I would suggest just south of the NW tip say 100-200 yards on the top edge of the structure.

Nice job Slotlimit! Im heading out there Saturday around noon and staying on the lake until Sunday morning 9-10am. We plan to head out of Garrison Sports, but it might change.

We are planning on fishing perch in the afternoon, but will settle in on top of a flat before dark. It will depepnd on what we see for action.

We usually get some walters on rattle reels with red hooks during the night. Did you use shinners or Fat heads???

Well slot limit I tried out that spot you told me about with minimal success. Got out there at 7:00 wednesday morning and got a 18" and a 16" right away. It was all downhill after that. Fished there all day and caught 3 big fat jumbos in 31' and also one 10" walleye. In the evening I moved back to the shallow and got 1 more little walleye. Thursday morning I headed back out there and got three walleyes between 11 and 13 inches, all of which were released. I don't keep them unless they are at least 15". Also got one more big jumbo. Wish I could find more of them the biggest was 13". During the day I headed out to some other spots to try and find some perch and had no luck. Returned back to the spot at 3:30 and got one more small walleye. Thanks for the info. It wasn't the greatest fishing but at least I got a few for the frying pan. Could've had something to do with this cold weather moving in. I caught all but one of the fish, a jumbo, on a silver 1/8 oz buckshot. Thanks again. I am heading back up on wednesday for the fmers event at Appeldoorns and will let you know if we find a hot spot on that end of the lake. Thanks again.

I don't mind sharing some info if its gonna help some others get a few fish. It's not like it was a hotspot. I spent two full dats out there in my portable and got 2 walleyes and 4 perch.

Just trying to help. Sorry you didn't have as good as luck as we did. You should e-mail me the coordinates and I'll tell you if it was the same spot i was on if it wasn't I'll send you the coordinates. johns2_1 At yahoo (Contact Us Please). It does sound like you caught a couple. I'm sure the weather has something to do with it.

Flick, Go ahead and give it a try. I'm not from there I could care less if everyone and anyone fished that spot. I just gave some facts about my days on the lake. I understand locals wanting to keep there hot spots a secret but why everyone else thinks it's such a big secret is beyond me.

      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
