Made my first TIP call yesterday - very disappointing!!

Hey! Who's bash'in Who? I think it is legal to fish with two lines in Wis... Years past it was. I have heard they might bring issue up again for MN. I would like to see a person able to use two polls. Keep limits the same, but allow two lines. I would vote yes. I got info from Mark and Larry show. Bear Azz and fish guts.

Without the DNR stocking of fishes, the fishing population will decrease in most lakes and streams because of over fishing and harvesting.


No, you would just have an abundance of other species of fish that would take the place of those walleye. But god forbid any spoiled walleye anglers lower thier standards to eat anything other than the gleaming white fillets of a walleye. That would just be unbearable. We'd be like china! (carp eaters) Maybe you'd learn to like it!

I think it is legal in WI to use 2 lines? Maybe he just needed to be informed. A good line to use:

"Hey, do you know it is illegal to have 2 lines in the water?"

response " (positive or negative)"

Your response(lie) "Well, it doesn't really bother me, but with all these boats out here I'm sure some "gerk"(i don't really mean that) will call the DNR on you. If you want to risk a $200 or so ticket that up to You, but I just thought I'd let you know!"

I don't know how they could still be confrontational after that and now you have informed them. If they don't listen then call them in.

If you are yelling at them from a distance they just think you're an A. But if you befriend them and trick them into thinking your on thier side and you don't want them to get in trouble, your success rate must go up. Now, I'm not tryign to bash you, but if you don't care enough to motor up to them within speakin distance, well it doesn't say much.


Yea....I guess that would work. It obviously didn't come to mind at the time with my thoughts...I iwll just have to calm down next time.

And, as far as it not saying much about my person....if it were my boat I would have motored up to him with no issues.....but it was not and was not my choice. Also, I think your right on the two lines in WI....I knew that at the time and thought the same thing, but in this scenario it seems odd to me that the one guy in the boat would only fish one line and the other guy would fish two, and their buddies in the other boat who were on the other side of us all had one line in the water.

      Drove around some of Minnetonka today. Most backwaters have froze over and some dock areas that have turned off aeration have also. A few rigs out.

      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. 🤯
