Kelly,

Just wondering how it looks for our parties reservation for March 27 and 28? Not asking for weather prognostications, but...still holding my breath. If the access gets too nasty, will you call or should I plan on calling the morning of or the day before...I know you've had a busy winter...thought we might bring you a libation for the off season...by the way, how's the bite been for your paying customers? I'm guessing you are still moving during the night! You may need to put someone else's name on the shacks next year!

The access is doing fine right now but I am worried about the 50's forcasted for the 24/25. Right now I'm thinking there is a better then 50% chance that we pull off the lake on the 25. The lake will be fine but that shallow water in close will fall apart.

Our crappie bite has been pretty slow the past 3 weeks. Just the oposite of other years when the best bite was in March. But normally we lost the snow cover in March and this year we got the snowcover in March. I'm interested in seeing what happens when the snowcover leaves again.

We'll call if we pull off the lake.

do you have any openings for this weekend 23/24/25? I knew we were cutting it pretty close, but we've had such great luck when we are the only ones out there...we might be able to pull a few strings to get there...

kelly p,

Coming up to fish with you Wednesday and Thursday. Do I need an extension for my auger? How have the crappies been going the last couple days?

Only 1,200 time this winter? Sounds like it's been a good year! wink.gif

Since Walleye season is closed, you need an extension to fish them. I am selling them at only $1000.00 American Cash Dollars each. Includes one Driveout access only! shocked.gifblush.gifgrin.gif

Don't be offended TBD, that question gets asked a lot on the forum here. Good luck on your trip and be sure to post a report on how you do!

We get asked about extensions many times everyday, and many times when we answer they look at us "really"? confused.gif I almost need two currently for drilling out the houses, now that should throw a wrench in the whole works. TWO EXTENSIONS ?! grin.gif

      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
