I was wondering if there is going to be a shortage of live bait such as shinners and or fatheads.... With the restrictions that have been put into place because of the Spiny Waterflea we were wondering if we should stop on our way up to get bait.. We fish on the west side so i was thinking about calling the Gateway and Bait n Bite to see what they had to say... Any info is appreciated.. Thanks and have a GREAT opener...

Bait should be no problem. Phil just totally cleaned and overhauled the minnow tanks last week because he had a "big shipment" coming in! I can almost feel the tug on my line now!!!

Not sure if this is derailing this thread, but what the best place to get bait (minnows/leaches) between Orr and Crane Lake?

fishinz4me, try Cold Springs between Orr and Kabetogama. Largest dealer around the area and decent prices. Worth seeing their tanks.

Cold Springs is a great bait store with a great selection and pricing the only problem is that they aren't between Orr and Crane Lake.

That is correct. If you read my post you will also notice that I was responding to fishinz4me as he was inquiring about bait on his way to the west end of Kabetogama.

Lots of good bait stores in this neck of the woods. Where ever you buy your bait I hope everyone has a safe and productive weekend. Have a good opener and leave some fish in the lakes for the rest of us. laugh.gif

      2023 Ice-Out Predictions

      By Brianf. · Posted

      Hard to imagine an ice-out anytime before the month of May with that 10-day forecast and how much ice/snow still exists on the lake.  If ice out happens just prior to the opener, I do feel like that could be a good thing for the overall bite.  Let’s hope that is the outcome here and not an opener where we are ice fishing.   Remember the ice out date in 2012?  April 2nd...  Amazing to think it was ever that early!   Jeff and I will be up this weekend, retrieving our boats from winter storage and chasing some whitefish, Tullies, jumbo perch, and maybe even a crappie or two.  The bite for all species is usually really good this time of year so we’re looking forward to that.

      2023 Ice-Out Predictions

      It's my favorite time of the year, looking at the forecast and trying to figure out when the lake will truly begin its annual change. Daytime highs will be above freezing 8 of the next 10 days with refreezing at night. Maybe 7-8 inches of snow next week, but that precipitation forecast is too far off to be accurate. It's slightly more reliable than my prediction of a hurricane hitting the lake! I do see sun forecasted for 5 of 10 days with temps above freezing. The sun is starting to get pretty strong even when air temps aren't that high. If that snow doesn't hit mid-week, I could see a portion of the snowpack melting.   I'm heading up tomorrow to *inspect* the lake in person

      Below zero lows...we are going the wrong way.  Not looking real good at the moment for an ice free opener. Things can go fast like last year with a handful of very warm days, but we better start making progress soon.

      I noticed something in the pictures of the fish in my previous post that show up on my phone but not here. The little icon in the lower right. When I touch it, up pops the email of the author of the newspaper article that the phone detected. Maybe the phone is too smart!!😜
