It looked almost done last night.

By the end of today they should be done.

The access will be a lot nicer.

Thanks Mn.DNR! Did I say that?

Roud has been tough as of late.

Hot weather ,boat activity from vactioners and the recent barrage of fireworks has taken it's toll.

All night there was this voice,fire in the hole...BOOM

We left at dark. No sense fighting fireworks.

Well she's back on.

Catching eyes by the 50's every night.

Too bad most are small ,but some are good for eaters.

Since they are so small as of late we are working them with UL's.

Check out this battle.

I hit her again with Dad last night.

Caught the normal 50-60 eyes working 10-12 FOW.

My Dad lost a few hogs at the boat.I then checked his line .It was nicked up so I changed him out & that was the end of loosing fish.

He did boat a real nice 19" and we caught 10 doubles not to mention a whole slew of bass.

I sent him home with a lim of eaters & we had a blast telling stories.

This once used to be a good fishery. The lake is small and very delicate I have seen a lots of large fish being taken home for dinner these fish are the future of this lake and all other lakes it sure would be nice to have some quality fish for our children and grandchildren to brag about, or it could become like the rest of the lakes that have been fished till the lake has nothing left to offer.

  • 'we have more fun' FishingMN Creators

Please be sure to read forum policy before posting again.

farmfishing makes an excellent point!!

There are over 300 lakes in the area and sharing more fishing info on more of them can help alleviate the pressure any lake will receive as it will spread anglers out. Please bear in mind giving info on only one small lake could up the fishing pressure it receives and hurt the overall fish catching going on in that lake.

The really wise anglers are gong to lakes that aren't heavily pressured or the really big lakes that can handle the pressure.

In the meantime let's not attack folks for sharing info. Let's work on sharing more good info on 100's of lakes to so more anglers can enjoy the fishing and spread out.

Feel free to discuss the issue of small lakes info sharing in the Outdoor discussion forum. Not in this thread please.

I'm back from BIR now Solocam.

We should go try Squag sometime too.

They are a lot bigger there.2-5 lb are normal not that you'd want to take them home to eat.

Wauk has some great eaters and so does Wilk.

Whenever you get some time we should go out.

I called you a couple of times the other night. I think we might go up again this weekend if we have time.

Every day over the last 3 weeks I've been hitting Round drilling walleyes hand over fist.

They are hitting a ring'n grub or sassy shad while we are trolling 10-15 FOW.

They are not really on the break,rather we are finding them on this flat with humps on it.The humps are 8 foot deep.So working around them is paying off.

Boat speeds are in the 1.5 MPH zone with 1/4 oz. jigs.

Most are of the stocker variety 10"-14" with some 18"-20" being found.

Now that the water is cooling coming into fall the bigger eyes should pick up in their feeding.

All of the bug hatches seem to be done so they are targeting minnows.

The bass are fairly active too.

Over cast days seem to be the best days for action ,but then again this is a clear water lake.I have some other lakes that are producing ,but they produce better with sunshine as the waters are stained.

As always you should be watching the barometer.

Whenever it makes that downward turn you should be thinking about hitting the water for some great fishing action.

How has it been this week? I fished Nord with that jig on Sunday morning and caught a few more. I did'nt think that it would work.

Oh ye of little faith or would that be a doubting Thomas?

I've used those plastics on most every body of water around here & they work on all of those waters.

The trick is boat control over the breaks and speed.

Speed can kill.

You just keep on catch'n & building confidense in them.

Time on the water running them is what you'll need to see how many different species they catch.

I know your a meat guy ,but that's gonna change!

Sure some lakes only want meat ,but not many.

Crappiekeith,

I was thinking about hitting round this saturday,It's supposed to be sunny but with windy conditions.In your opinion,is it wirth the effort to go and try to catch some eyes during the daytime?

Thanks for your input! Jim

I'd wait until about 6 and keep an eye open to where the fish being located are.Then by 7 or so the bite will start.

It get real heavy at 8 to 9:30 then tapers.The bigger ones bite just into dark.

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
