Anybody know what time S & W opens during the week. There phone has been busy all afternoon. If they aren't open by 5 am is there another place around to get bait that early?

Also any Gull Lake reports for wallleye?

I believe she will get bait 24 hrs. a day if you ring the bell. (although it might not make her happy) WalleyeDan would know for sure. Dan you out there?

Hey thanks for the info. I finally got through on the phone and they open at 5:30. That will work so I won't need to ring the bell. Any reports or tips for the walleye? Depth etc. Last report I see is Dan's.

I just finished up a Looooooong day on the water with very little activity. But, I wasn't on Gull. I fish Gull so much, I get tired of it at times. But as today turned out, I wish I would have fished it. I was on Whitefish this a.m. and Mille Lacs this p.m.. Both won. I had a lot of people out and about last night on Gull and all we caught were 10-12 inchers. The night before was good for keepers though. Still working the 14-18 foot range and I have been using a 1/8 ounce jig and a minnow (Rosy Reds). Pretty good melt down today, but we still have a lot of ice. Watch out for the pressure ridge by Sandy Point and the one by Rocky Point, both have standing water around them.

Where exactly is Sandy Point on Gull lake? I have a basic lake map so maybe some reference like round lake or NW or something. I have some people that are meeting me up there and I want to give them a general idea of where I will be. Thank You.

Sandy point is located about half way down the west side of the main lake. There are two points along that stretch, it is the southernmost of the two.

Cool thanks for the reply. That would be on the 77 side instead of 371. I hope this snow is mild. Wife is already giving me grief about going up sat morning. I have one of Walleye Dans shacks reserved for sat night.

eurolarva,

I really hope you can make it because WalleyeDAn has some great houses and has been on fish for most of the winter. Plus with this storm I would predict that the bite should be very active. After all it is the last weekend to fish for walleye for several months. Good Luck.

      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
