My pick is the St. Louis. Hopefully we dont have chocolate milk to fish in like last year. Regardless it'll be great! Good luck all and be safe.

Wayward...........McDougal has some good walleye early action. Be careful of the rocks. Nine Mile and Dumbell are also good choices. Vermillion is a long way from Tofte.

I am heding down to the horseshow chain of lakes as I have for many openers. There are alot of different types of lakes in the chain and always hungry eyes to be found. After my first year in Duluth and after a long steelie season I am looking forward to this trip!! By the way its the one near cold springs.

Good luck everyone....

I chose not to take the opener off this season. I may even break down and do something to celebrate Mothers Day. It may have something to do with how hard I hit my head at work a week ago. grin.gif

I have four days off starting the Tuesday after opener. Hopefully things will be a little slower at that point and I can shake some of soft water rust off.

It will be a slow start to the season for me but I'm not sure I want to start thinking about the hard water season just yet. grin.gif (206 Days) WOW!!!!

I'll be down on the River again. I told myself I was just going to troll the big lake this year on the opener to get away from the crowd and the mad house on the river. But my dad really wants to go jig for some eyes. Guess I can force myself to go grin.gif Who knows maybe I'll catch that 33" that a certain Fmer has been lookin for wink.gif

Good luck everyone

Fish Lake for me it will be 19 years on the same island. We always find them some where.

For others on islands on Fish lake PLEASE PICK UP YOUR TRASH AND SOME FROM SOMEONE ELSE. TAKE CARE OF THE PLACE BEFORE THEY TAKE IT AWAY.

Good safe fishing season everyone!! laugh.gif

Boyscout Landing (but get there early or you wont get a spot), water street has several spots off 131st west, just below the 23 bridge on the Mn.. side is Fondulac campground and they have a fishing area that you can fish for I think $3.

If you scout the perch lake area there are a lot of spots within walking distance.

Munger landing has a pier as does rices landing. In Superior Barkers Island has a few spots to try out.

      2023 Ice-Out Predictions

      As crazy as that might sound, May 18th isn’t a bad guess.  We were on the lake yesterday and had somewhere around 30” of solid ice with some snow on top.  This is hard January-type ice.  No honeycombing, no chipping or slush.  In fact, my Dewalt hammer drill couldn’t take it.  It’s dead.   Another foot of snow on the way this week?  That won’t help.

      Pool 2 shore fishing

      By CigarGuy · Posted

      Try the area where Minnehaha Falls runs into the river up to the ford dam. I've just used jig and fathead. Been several years since I've fished down there, but saw a lot of people shore fishing there. Pretty snaggy down there.

      Entries sure rolled in when I offered the case of beer.  We could meet at my Stuntz Bay boathouse if that would work.  Close to the landing, could anchor in front of the boathouse, or could park your vehicle at by the boathouse.  Maybe we could require the winner to be present, LOL.

      Thinking about trying pool 2 (from shore) for the first time tomorrow morning, ideally looking for walleye. Anyone know any decent spots or what kind of baits I should use?   Thanks in advance

      I know the owner.  In fact we rode snowmobiles together a couple days after the fire.  He lost most of his belongings.  Sounds like it was electrical.
