I awoke, lifted myself up enough to peer over Leila's sleeping body to look at the clock radio. Now that right there bothers me. Makes no sense to have a clock in the bedroom you can't see without sitting up to see. Will I move it later on today, well its been like that since we moved upstairs to the new addition so probably not.

The clock said 2AM. Duh, thats too early to get up I thought to myself. I knew why I woke, I needed to snow blow the driveway before Leila went to work and before the kids got up but not at 2AM. I could though if I wanted to. I have lights on my 1969 Sears tractor. Thats crazy, I'd wake the neighbor, but wait he said he never sleeps.

I know that because I commented one day that I always see your TV on at all hours.

Hmm, now I'm wondering what the parking lot at the Town Hall is like with all the snow. Thats it, 3AM and I'm up.

Coffees on, puters on, and for the first time ever theres no lights on at the neighbors. He picked a fine time to break his 15 year record of not sleeping.

Best thing about this snow is it will keep the crotch rockets inthe garage a little longer.

I'm guessing this should help water levels. The Black River near home is getting high and that was before the snow. I saw the big lake on my way to work yesterday. No ice but the waves looked like, "Victory at Sea."

Great deal for the tow trucks too. I was talking to the tow truck driver while he was getting my wife out of the ditch and he said there were 8 rollovers in this area that he heard of. Roads were just horrible.

My dads got about 8 inches of snow in uptown Superior and I've got about 13"-14" out here. We needed the moisture but Id rather of seen it in rain.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!
