Thanks a lot to Cheffrey and the rest of the crew. I had a really good time Sunday morning, and it was great to meet some of the other people at the landing. I look forward to another event.

Not the best day to be out on the big pond. Started out fairly decent then turned ugly It’s hard to fish out of the smaller boats in that kind of weather but we made it for a while.

No fish for our boat but we tried, a little.

LoonASea nice seeing you again and maybe we can get together again, under better fishing conditions.

The highlight of the day was back at Loonsfoot and BSing with fellow Fmers over a couple of beverages.

A special thanks to Jar Jar ( never did check but I think that’s who it was) for keeping everyone hydrated’, except Kent with his Gator juice, next get together I’ll have to supply Jar Jar.

Nice to see everyone again and look forward to next time, without thunder, lightening and NE winds.

My morning started on the water by 4am, and ran out 14 miles on the MN/WI line out from the amnicon. Landed two lakers on spoons. 1 was 84' down, other was 68' down. Watermelon spoons.

Wish I could have gotten back down and out again once we were in @ 10am....but, sleep and da better half got the best of me.

Well as Joel stated we got 3 that morning. The king on the rigger down 55 ft and a laker on the stacker at about 40 ft and another laker on a dipsey. All on spoons. And was it a rough ride back but still good to get out. And it was also great to put a few more faces to names at loonsfoot. And yeah what a dissapointment about the walleye in the dumpster. Such a shame. Well can't wait till next time.

Ran & Wally,

Thanks for the opportunity to boat with you guys, as well as the meat. We skipped that 26.5 Eye back into the lake due to its healthy size & I gotta say puttin' it back felt pretty good. I mean... a 26" vs. 'Never Enuff'... ooo.gif

Kept the 22" Eye...

Cut off the tail ends, square on the Splake.

Cool impromptu parking lot scene. Good to see you boys!

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
