Hey Jim,

Did you make it out crappie fishing the past few weeks? I was going to swing by this morning and say hi, but you weren't around. I'm into my second week now of ice fishing rehab/withdrawals. Work is totally insane, over-rated, and it is going to be a long season!

I sure would like to get out with ya sometime this summer and crush some of those Burntside Walleyes! I will give you a call sometime this summer.

Take Care,

Justin A.K.A "The Fish Master"! cool.gif

Jim took too much Geritol, Justin. With a mouth that size, you'll understand how such things can happen. His obituary will be in the next editions of the Ely newspapers.

Kidding!!!!!! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Sure, now I've done it. I'll just have to keep my sonar tuned for torpedos this summer on Bside. shocked.gif

No bubba, no smarting here. I have some characteristics of a rhino, including its thick skin.

You'll note from the date that it was April Fool's Day, and I was just having some fun with you, you old bugger. grin.gif

Geritol?? AHH-HAAA!!! That makes sense- He probably needs those vitamins to give himself a little boost reeling in those 14" Burntside Walleyes! Then, after he reels those monsters in, he needs to take a few days off to recuperate and order up the Ben-Gay from Sam's Club in the economy sized 5 gallon pail!!! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Later,

cool.gifJustin

Hey Steve-

Jim is a pretty crafty guy, I will give him that. You just need to enter his brain to get the best of him! Just remember he has copious amounts of time over at the bait shop to think of these things. He is just really worried that his new Bowflex machine isn't going to get him into shape for Walleye fishing. I can understand that because that landing net gets awfully heavy when Justin is in the boat!

You got that right, Steve grin.gif When (and if) Justin gets into my boat I will have to drink a six pack of Geritol, since I'll be catching all of the Walleyes, and Justin will contribute his usual limit of Rock Bass cool.gif Don't worry JG, I'll carry the load again! smile.gif Remember a takeoff of the old song title, "You aint my Brother, you're heavy" grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

That's it, El Stevo, the gloves are off,Babeee mad.gif Just for that, I'm sentencing you and Justin to be fishing partners this summer, so I only need one torpedo to rid the world of you two vermine smile.gif I'll know when you guys are on the lake, since the boat will displace enough water to bring the level up 3 feet. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Jim, I'll use small words so you can un-der-stand: You ain't got game. grin.gif

P.S. -- It's spelled "vermin," not "vermine." Of course, Hillman told me you flunked spelling. grin.gifgrin.gif

Bubba, I work for a newspaper. All kinds of strange and goofy people tell me things. Some of them even own bait/tackle shops. Doesn't mean I hang out with them. grin.gif

I'll finally pipe in on this one and be on Jim's side. Hillman? YIKES! HA HA OH man...Steve I believe you just gave Jim enough ammo to last a life time. Hillman...oh boy. The self proclaimed "historian of Ely". shocked.gif

Anywho...have a fun time Jim. GAME ON!

Harv, I didn't give Jimmie any ammo at all, because I don't hang out with Mr. Hillman.

But Jim doesn't need me to supply him with ammo. He loads his own bullets, and he's always gotta wear those knee-high rubber boots while he's doing it because of how deep the bull---- gets. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

I'm surprised Jim hasn't thrown a haymaker back yet. I think he's out in the garage along Burntside Lake calibrating his new torpedoes. grin.gif

Yo, Jim, don't zap my house with one. Wait until I'm alone in the boat so you spare my wife and the cats and dogs. SOMEBODY'S gotta survive to cash in on all that life insurance. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

I don't know Steve, when you quote Mr. Hillman, it appears that you two are good Buds! cool.gif I also notice that you use the term Bubba quite a bit, must be from the series "Nash Bridges." Perhaps we're seeing a preview from the next community play. Is Mike playing your partner Cheech? grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Bubba, I've quoted you, too, to a couple of friends of mine.

"Maki says you can catch lakers in shallow mucky bays," Foss said.

Does that mean you and I are hanging out, bubba? grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

I should have known when the going gets tough for old Maki, the fat jokes and Rock Bass comments would be flying!!! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Jim is just upset that his Hoveround electric wheelchair won't pull his new Otter sled out on the ice. His is also mad that Samz place isn't going to stock Ensure anymore!!!!

I have to admit that I find Steve's comments about Iron Mike particularly disturbing!!! I think they may be bestest buddies!! grin.gif Also, his bubba comments raise a red flag that he may be a fan of the TV show "Walker-Texas Ranger" That is alot of ammo The Great Outdoors can use to his advantage!!!

Oh, boy...I can't wait to see what is on here tomorrow night...... grin.gif

Later, Justin

Well, I tell you Nash (Steve) smile.gif

You hanging with Mike makes me uneasy about being seeing talking to you in public! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

In the future, any tips I may share with you about Burntside, will have to be given in an abandoned warehouse on the water front! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Out of respect for Jim, who showed this morning that he can't take the heat in the kitchen, I'm going to withdraw.

I ran into him at Blomberg's and he whined for 10 minutes about the hard time he was getting. So I'll just stop giving him crap on the forums. But, in the best Ely tradition, I'll whisper behind his back into all the dark corners around town that he JUST CAN'T STAND THE GUFF. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Justin, shoot me an e-mail on the photo opp, will you? I'm INTERESTED, but, ah, don't want to share the opp with other folks who might have cameras, you know? My e-mail addy is right below in my signature on every post.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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
    • leech~~
      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!
