Saturdays results?


Recommended Posts

How did everyone do this weekend? Myself the wife and our two pooches hit the big pond with pretty good results on Saturday. Caught around 25 'eyes and a dozen northerns. One of the nicer limits I have personally took home from LOTW in a while. Did manage 2 nice ones also along with a couple in the slot.

You are a wise one winonaman. I am so glad someone finally caught me. I am such a pathological liar I almost can't stand to be in the same boat with my own ego! Here's how it went- I catch this fish you know, a pretty nice one even by my high standards. I think to myself, maybe I should throw her in the livewell for 90 minutes or so and have my wife take another picture. No one would ever think that they were the same fish in a million years blush.gif. She even thought it was a good idea. Women know that a man's ego needs to be stroked a little every once in a while. I'm not saying you may be a touch jealous, but post photos of your weekends catch and I will critique yours. Watch who you call a liar man, especially when you have no clue what you are talking about.

Nice fish Todd.

My boy and I had a fun day also. We caught a couple big ones too.

1/2 day on the water, and 1/2 day on the Links... as we are watching Hockey night in Canada as the night winds down... my boy says... it don't get any better then this dad... we both fell asleep during OT... grin.gif

I'll see if i can put up a picture tomorrow.

thanks guys,

Widetrack-Sounds like you had a great day. Did you get your bigguns on hard baits or live bait. All our fish came on #7 shad raps trolled at 1.5 to 2.0 mph in a very popular early season location as yopu can see by the pic. There was only 1 other boat fishing there when we started and it steadily got busier as the day got warmer. A little chilly on the ride across Muskeg Bay! Looks like it will be another great year on the pond. cool.gif

Todd,

I think I see my cabin in the background... grin.gif

We caught fish mainly on hard baits. 1.8 was about the best speed. We did do some jig fishing and had fun catching fish that way as well.

Isn't it amazing that even with evidence such as wet bibs in the first picture and dry bibs in the second one, people still need to justify their own personal fishing shortcomings by negatively attacking another.

Nice fish man! And I really like cameras that post the time of the pictures in the lower right hand corner so you justify your catches to the non-believer.

If you follow this forum at all you saw Todd's pictures from last summer. I think by those pictures I would have to say he knows what he is doing. Those are some nice fish for sure. I have got to get up there this summer for so open water action.

iffwalleyes,

It's alot of luck, if I knew what I was doing I wouldn't have driven 85 miles yesterday to fish in a wind tunnel! wink.gif

Did catch a nice limit but not alot more (23" was the biggest). Boat control was next to impossible with the wind, but there were alot of fish on the locator to be caught. Drift speeds were around 1.5 mph and I couldn't troll less than 2.5 mph if I wanted to be able to steer the boat. Fished west of the blinker in 14' to 16'.

Nice fish Todd. What blinker do you speak of?

Are shiners a issue up there to locate? I enjoy your photos keep posting them. They keep us folks who cant get there as often dreaming of days on the water on LOW!

thanks

wicky,

The "blinker" is the red lighted buoy straight out from the Warroad city access "The Jetty". Pretty good early season fishing there if the wind is bad and you can't get out on the lake. Shiners in Roseau and Warroad are hard to find usually, but I usually don't look to hard for them as I pull cranks most of the time. I did get a few decent eaters on leeches the other day west of the blinker.

I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU TAKE A PICTURE WITH TWO CAMERA "ANGELS". THAT WOULD BE QUITE A FEAT. I ALWAYS FIND IT HUMOROUS WHEN PEOPLE RIP SOMEONE ELSE FOR A PICTURE, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO SPEL VARY GOODER WEN THAY POAST THARE COMENTS. tongue.gif

NICE LOOKING FISH.

Great fish don't let anybody try to put those down...

I just looked at a few of winnona's posts and I agree he really has some grammatical issues. I suppose it is all of the IM’ing shorthand “MAN”

      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
