WI side, 80 FOW - 98 FOW. 3 lines out, managed 1 coho, 1 lake trout. (out till noon or so)

Sunday - Out on the water at 1pm, lines set by 145pm (six lines this time), off the lake at 7pm.

5 lakers, 1 coho managed. No special color bombers (yes all on bombers)

Looking forward to the outing, and chances at getting a few more lakers/coho/maybe a king in the boat!

Fishing has been very good on the cheesey side and from what I hear the Gopher side has been ok as well. Those going out on the MN. side have Rices as the best landing and the Cheesey people have Loonsfoot wich is the best landing in the whole area.

As far as grilling everyone could meet at the sandy beach coming into the Wi. piers. Its to the right and everyone could beach their boats. Its nice and out of the wind and you can swim or whatever you want.

As said earlier Park Point/Canal Park will be crazy.


This sounds like a good idea. I know I would like to launch out of Loonsfoot, and that sand beach makes an ideal swim/wade up place for a little BBQ going-ons. I'm thinking 6am Loonsfoot for those on my boat.

Hey Guys,

I plan on meeting up with everyone for the BBQ after I get off work Sunday morning. I'm thinking that I'll even be able to find a fresh jar of Pickled Northern for the gathering.

Cheffrey,

I am in for sure on Sunday and will be at Loonsfoot before 6:00am. Other than beverage, gas money and something to throw on the grill, what should I be bringing? I don't know what sort of gear is needed for this type of fishing. Let me know what to bring and I look forward to fishing with you on Sunday.

So, its set in stone? Everyone's meeting between 5-6am @ loonsfoot, and be back @ loonsfoot around noon for a bbq to rememenber?

Woodie read the posts above. The barbeque is not at Loonsfoot at noon but at the sandy beach on the park point side between the breakwalls.

Its easy to find. As you go out the Wi. entry and get past the first break wall on your left look back and you will see the sandy beach that I speak of.

My dyslexia spoke up today. I know exactly where your talkin~ I'm sure the boats will be hard to miss once we all start coming back in. Sounds like a good turnout this year. Last year, we were hiding from the rain under the high bridge!

Lets just keep it simple and stay on 16 like always. We can pick a channel from there.

Cheffrey is it worth me mounting my riggers yet? Boards are still catching fish. I wonder if I want 6 board lines out or 4 and 2 down? HMMM.

Northlander, read my report on Lake Superior. About 50% of the time when we marked a arc on bottom we would look back and see a rod pounding. Granted it was about 80 miles from where we will be at the water temp was much cooler over there. I would bring them with and keep them low.

The other thing I should mention is that half of our topwater hits came on a spoon weighted with a 1oz clip weight off a boardline.

Outdoor Ran, I've been talking to Walley & I'm glad you decided to make a go of it on Sunday morning.

I'm in!

I'll call Wal today, but reply with a time you want to go & I'll be there with bells.

Sorry guys, but it's looking like I won't be able to make it. I just got back from the doctors and I have a serious case of pnemonia. I am breathing off of only one lung right now and the doctors down here want to keep an eye on me for at least 48 hours and maybe longer depending if the antibiotics can shrink the infection that has consumed my right lung. You guys have fun and I'm sure you'll see me back on the water by the middle of next week. smile.gif

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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
    • leech~~
      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!  
    • jim curlee
      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
