Burning Ban ?


Recommended Posts

We are coming up on Wednesday & were just informed by ourr resort that St Louis County has banned the use of charcoal grills. Just a heads up, it will change our meal plans. I also just bought two line counters for trolling cranks & was wondering if I should bother bring them up this week. Too early ? I have heard conflicting reports about opener, Shallow or deep?

THanks to all & have a great week fishing.

I think that if you fish during the day plan on going deeper. If you fish at twilight or darker you will find them in shallow. Try tossing light jigs of varying color with lively minnows in shallow for best results during low light conditions.

Thanks for the info ! Any thoughts on the trolling rods & cranks this time of year ?

Hmmmm,

I would find a reef and jig deep with red white and blue or gold black and white 1/2 oz ball jigs. I have a trolling rod with a line counter and lead core but to tell the truth I have not ever been able to bring myself to use it. I am very stuck in my ways. I have heard guys talk about reef runners and fire tigers but it isn't my forte'.

Does the burning ban and the no-coal-grill policy affect the resorts on the lake?

As of today it still does. Only propane devices for cooking. You can keep an eye on the DNR site for any updates to the current ban.

      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.

      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!!😜
