Chigger with gold teeth when snagged on bottom:

This fish is so big it's taking a rest...I'm taking a rest...were both just taking a rest...ah man whew ha ha ha.

"Crappies! You wasted the whole day on Crappies! Nobody will drive to Waskish to fish Crappies! - KellyP to young Jonny 1986

Dude, they'll bite on that. - Steve Jonesi


Those are probably the best right there, that chigger video might be the funniest video Ive seen in a long time! " there all scared" " I like to fish deep... sometimes 3-400'" "uhhohhh waterpatrol.. I always scare those water patrol guys"

The pastor at my church said this once on opening weekend. They was a large number of woman in church without their husbands it was assumed they were all fishing. So he said the following

"It is better that your men are on a lake fishing and thinking about god than in church thinking about fishing"

I have never forgot that one I figure it is a good motto to live by.

I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks.

My dad used to nail me with the "Are you here to fish or are you here to dance". This was when I would get restless in the boat at a young age.

When waking me up before sunrise to fish, my dad would say "Wake up, the birds are singing and the fish are farting".

My grandpa used to measure fish on his arm. He would stick out his arm and point at his elbow "The northern was this long". He said then you "couldn't just estimate by holding your hands apart".

And, one more...a real old timer quote. "Are you gonna fish with that or just knock apples out of the trees?" My grandpa told my grandma that once when she was fishing with her cane pole.

If God had meant for man to be totally truthful, He never would have created fish.

When I got back into fishing I had a friend tell me "you can't catch anything if you don't leave the line in the water" I was casting and retreiving, I cast out the spinner hit the water and was hit by a northern right away. My response was "how many you got"

Quote:

I only fish on days that end in "Y".


That's odd I only drink on days that end in "Y". wink.gif

Now if I can only get in that much fishing...hmmmm.

My favorite is "should have been here yesterday".

"Any minute now"

or just leaving the lake, "we should be there now".

A quote from dad ice fishing, "if you see bubbles come up, that means a fish burped, and, now he has more room for food, get ready"

Get ready! yeah right, I was waiting for a hour and nothing, followed by the "any minute now". confused.gifgrin.gif

I really enjow this topic.

Mine would have to be, "One more cast". Then it's always 20 casts later before you have to go in.

I'll always remember my dad saying:

"Whoever catches the last fish is the champ"

and somehow I always caught the last one even though he outfished me 10 to 1.

He still says it to this day (and still out fishes me! blush.gif)

I was listening to a couple fisherman talk about Al Lindner. Someone else asked, "Who the h*** is Al Lindner?" One of the fisherman responded, "Who the h*** is Abe Lincoln?"

Back when I was a younger hooligan, a friend and I were bringing about 9 carp up the hill from the river at the Rapidan Dam, for transplantation into the Mankato State University fountain, when we came across a couple of men who were apparenly recent arrivals to America. They sincerely asked, "What kind of fish are those?" They asked the wrong guys, "WALLEYES!" we told them. They seemed to buy that.

I overheard a seemingly novice ice-fisherman chatting up an old-timer say, "I hear they start biting at 4:00." The old-timer, sitting on a bucket, grumbled, "I haven't caught one yet that was wearing a wrist-watch."

Just thought of another one. My dad was ice-fishing when a friend, who had arived separately noticed him. The friend zipped his Korean war issue parka hood around his face and snuck up to my dad with his auger in ready position and said, "Move your foot."

When my fishing partner (to this day) and I were real young we made a rookie mistake. He had a big fish on close to shore and I said "Horse it in!"...he tried and his line broke...so to this day when one of us has a nice fish on we always jokingly say "Horse it in!".

***1) My friend while trolling on the flats on Mille Lacs (Big 22' boat and windy).

Me: "hows that gas situation..."

My friend: "We have plenty of gas."

30 mins later the kicker dies and we are calling for a tow on the marine radio because all three of us left our cell phones on shore.

***2) Opener on Vermilion a few years ago (camping on an island).

Me (15 min to midnight): "Lets get going..."

My buddy (running): " (yelling)Get over here...were not going anywhere...the boats under water!" shocked.gif

Me: "Oh Sh!T"

Then I watch him get into the freezing cold water to see if the plug was in....and it was! LOL

Years and years ago when a buddy and I would paddle around the lily pads and cast plastic frogs for bass, there was a time when we hadnt had a bite for a while and him or I said "Jeez, fishin's kinda slow", and within 15 seconds one of us got a fish. Sometime that same day it was slow again so one of us piped up: "man, fishin's kinda slow", and again another fish.

We still say that to this day when fishin's kinda slow, but we've found it doesnt work as well when you force it.

Just remembered my brother and I ice fishing on Mille Lacs the day the great bite of the year ended. After three hours of no bites he turns, punches me in the shoulder, and says "Way to go Shlep Rock"

Sometimes one guy catches all of the fish and of course the conversation goes something like this: How deep are you? Same as you. What colr are you using? Same as you. What size minnow? Same as you. What size hook? Same as you. Dang, here I thought it was something special not just the same stuff I've been using.

I was running low on waxies this winter and asked Ole Matty for a few. His reply, "FIVE BUCKS!" So the ongoing joke now for any borrowed item is 5 bucks.

      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
    • 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!
