Following up here:
Sounds like we certainly did not do as well as others. We didn’t go far enough north IMO. We barely touched red door. 2 of us.
We ended up with only 25 eyes. Only 2 under 18″ biggest was 23″
Fished 12am-3am, 8:30-3:30, 8:30-1:30, and 8:30-12:30.
Jig and shiner during the day and pullin cranks at night.
Should have ventured further north.
Water was 50-54 over the weekend
That would probably be a wise idea given that the wind appears to be from the NW. Let us know how you do, what you used, and what the water temps are.
Takes me awhile to respond to these things, sometimes I forget that i do it 
Planning on jigs and shiners! You going out?
lol. Was just following up on the guy that said keep looking for structure and we will see you in February.
Hitting the big pond this opener. No Red.
Good luck!
I bring a generator at trails end. 4 stroke would be best in my opinion. I’ve lasted no problem for a week charging here and there.
Worst case scenario, reach out to Matt and Cass at Voyageur Canoe Outfitters. Look into renting Black Bear Cabin on the other side of the seagull river. I do that in the fall. You can plug your boat in right off their docks. It is a bit of a hike to get your gear up to the cabin, but if you’re staying for a week, it’s worth it. You will have to navigate rocky rapids from either the campground or voyageur outfitters unless you trailer to the public landing.
Reach out if you have questions.
Thanks!
Very familiar with Sag and trails end campground.
1. Double check, but I’m not sure you can take large motors in the sag corridor.
2. Campsites are booked pretty solid through the season already. There are no docks at campsites, but there are certainly a few that have good access. 1,2,4 for example are some of my favorites.
3. There is minimal to no pressure on Sag. Both American and Canadian.
4. Day use permits go fast. Get them ASAP.
hey man, just following up here. Just got back to shore. You’re not wrong. We walked a million miles!!!
kidding. Straight out of JR’s. First real break. Got away from folks. Did decent.
Wondering if we can gather some weight behind this subject and get some talkers on Sag! Trying to find some good info regarding best reefs and humps to fish!
Mike,
Just out of curiosity. How do you clear the ice jams?
Too many boats out this weekend. Sounds like fishing was slow all around. We hit it hard for 12 hours and didn’t have anything great to show. Good experience though, first time on the river for me and my buddy.
13 trailers. Lions could use a little work. Its looking promising. Should be good mid afternoon or after first boat. Hasting was frozen below the dam
I was at Lions the AM and you could see the chop from other people. Was frozen about 1-2″ thick. Will check after work today. Work in Cottage Grove.
Will stop by 494 as well on my way home and update you all.
I have never done such a thing and am not sure if I trust myself nor do I know where to start. Was just wondering if someone had plans to go out and do it!
This message is for Mike!
Trying to head out to pool 2 tomorrow AM!
Stopped by Lions this AM and it was frozen tight. All the work you’ve done is noticed, but everything refroze.
Any plans to head out there today? Or 494 and do some work?
Thanks!
