FM MUSKIE GATHERING ON THE 'TRAP


Recommended Posts

I am leaving the first saturday in August open. we will meet at the access at about an hour before sun up to assign boats and pair up guys. please if you want to play post so we can figure out how many boats we have. if you dont have a boat and still want to play post as well and we find some one for you to pair up with. PLEASE POST if interested. I will talk to the guys at Zorbaz and see if we can get a drink special for guys on saturday night after fishing. Cheffery also offered to let us have a shindig over at Trappers Landing on Leech, let me know whether you want to go to The Landing or do zorbaz thanks, Jonah

I will try hard to make it and I think it will work. I have a boat that could be used. But I don't know jack about Muskies so if someone knows what they are doing and would like to try and teach a walleye guy I am up for that. Johan if you need any help let me know as I should be around most weekends this summer.

I'm in, Mantrap or leech, either one will work for me but we might have to think about the guys with smaller boats. I will have my boat. It might also depend on teh weather.

Sorry, but I'll have to stick with a "definite maybe" response. My wife will 8+ months pregnant at that time and I may get something cut off if I try make it. 'Course, I may still try make it...

I'll have to see what comes up by then but it sounds like a good time. Never fished mantrap before but have fished plantagenet and elk in the area. Have a cabin near lake alice that we stay at. I have a 16' alumnacraft with 40hp merc and may have room for one if I can make it.

I'm about 90% sure I can make it but cannot be sure until closer to the event. I do have a boat if needed. Doesn't matter to me which place between Zorbaz or Trappers landing. How will the pairings be worked out? If possible would be nice to have experienced people with lesser experienced people.

One thing I will note. My boat is over in Park Rapids all summer. So if it saves someone that is a experienced having to trailer a long distance let me know we can work something out.

I am new to the site but was in on the 2007 sturgon ex. From the Evansville area 1 1/2 hours south of rapids. Depends on the weather me and a buddy might be up for the ski fish. Banking on the other guy going. And the weather man its hot. bite is slow down here to much pressure and hot weather. let U know a forsure or not sooner to the date. Got the university ato stay in Emmaville if we make it up.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?  
    • smurfy
      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      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!
    • PSU
      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
