Paper should be available at local gas stations or grocery stores. Last fall I picked one up at the dairy queen in Battle Lake.

Talk to the guys at Dalton boat dock place. They have a nice used dock they took out last fall for me. I needed something slightly different. Ask for Bill. I'm sure you can buy it reasonably.......dang it!!Ha! frown.gif

There is a guy near Vergas that has three or four used docks. His name is Kyle. He was reasonable with a boat lift I got from him last year ($250 - lifts my 19.5 pro v). I went back for a dock and if I remember right, he wanted $10 a foot. I declined so that may motivate him to decrease the price a little bit. It is definitely worth checking out though? He is a welder with a yard full of odds and ends.

Now that I think about it, it was $20 a foot. It wasn't worth that, but he is a bargainer. I would've paid $10 a foot.

Cool thank you I found a guy he want's 12 a foot but I would have to drive to brainerd to get it. I would much rather get it Vergas.

Yeah... at least I did last year. I bought a trailer between Lida and Crystal last Sept. so I will be there this year. My lift is still over on Star and he is going to modify it for me in the next few days.

Hope it works out for you... Kyle is great to work with. He has at least one really decent dock and has been really great to work with (he wasn't going to charge me for the work I needed done on the lift, until I told him that I made my own modifications to it and created a new problem that needed some welding crazy.gif)

Ya It looks like it will work out great.I thought you might be someone I met on star ice fishing at the end off the year he was from Fargo but I think he had a cabin on the west arm he has been there for 20 years I thought if that was you what a small world If you fish star in the summer look out for a 18ft blue fine stop and say HI there are not to many people with blue fins boats around here it's written right on the side in blue and once again thank you for the lead.

Sheldon is by the Nursing home on the NW corner of Otter Tail Lake, just up the road from Ken's bait. Do not know if he gives any deals on used docks but he has a ton on hand.

Well it's worth looking in to I price out building one last night and forget that, you are at least $100 TO $150 a section just for hardware add in your wood and that has to bring it up to at least $225 and I need 6 4X8 sections witch would come out to $1350 then add your time I think I can do better used dose my thinking sound right?

      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
