HSO Podcast Mail Bag-We want to hear from you please.

Deitz,

Here is one you would love and would probably be an off the cuff podcast for you. Deep water bass tactics! What to throw and when? Do I want to use a big crank or should I be tossing a large t-rig worm? Or maybe a dropshot or carolina rig? I haven't had much success with deep bass and it is something I would love to learn more about. It seems as the summer wears on, the bigger bass move deep and all I get in the shallows is little ones. Go to town and have some fun cause you are the authority on the subject.

Tom

Another dig into the mail bag of FishingMinnesota.com Todays question was about deepwater bassing during the dog days of summer. I gave good friend of mine Matt Johnson a call and we chatted on the subject.

I want to hear about Pheasant hunting, up north we don't have Pheasants just forest chickens. I always wonder how these guys line up these bird hunts and cordinate dogs, locations etc etc. Some pointers for a guy like me that has never shot a pheasant.

DIY (Contact Us Please) tips on field dressing, carting out, and butchering deer. Obviously tough to describe over the phone but maybe there is a tip or two out there. I know there are some guys that have butchered a lot of deer and I would like to start doing it myself.

Deitz, now that hunting season is upon us, how about a few tips and pointers on cooking up some of the deer, elk, moose, ducks, pheasants, and various critters we all have in our freezers????

Dietz,

I am wondering if guys would like to hear about GPS's and how to use them and use them more effectively for todays fishing and hunting trips. I know a lot of guys have any of the lowrance series GPS's. I know the basics on how to use mine, but I and maybe others confused.gif are missing out on the many options that one can give us!??

I like that idea BRK. I am looking to get one soon and would love to hear some tips on how to use them. A couple of my uncles have them and I can borrow one just about any time, but other than turning it on and checking location versus the map coordinates to locate myself, I am pretty much clueless.

Good Topic.

Tom

how about putting together a pamphlet of public access ediquette and then selling it to the dnr and making it mandatory test for each person who has a boat. All kidding aside would love to see someone come out with just some tips and tricks at the landing to make those weekend days go a little smoother. We all have at least 1 nightmare story. ike

Seems to me that the sport of kayak (or other small unmotorized craft) are becoming quite popular here, and are even more popular all over the country.

I would love to learn more about kayak fishing specific to our state. Especially outside the boundary waters. For instance, Aayak Angler magazine just featured Minneapolis in it's top 25 After Work fishing spots, and MN is the home to Wenonah and River Ridge Custom canoes.

So there is a definite base of support for unmotorized craft, I would just like more in depth analysis from the fishing gurus here at FMN that focuses on unmotorized boats as a fishing platform, and potential alternative to powered boats.

Thanks.

How about some info on how to tackle a new lake you haven't fished before...and don't have a lake map for...specifically, where on a lake to start first, sort of how to narrow a lake down to the areas most likely to produce fish. I find that when trying out a new lake on a whim I spend most of my day looking around and scanning the bottom with my electronics. Maybe even open water and hard water?

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      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!

      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
