If you still have this I will take it

We found about two inches of ice a few feet from shore yesterday, we didn’t venture out any further, it looked like some of the bigger bays are starting to open back up, be careful out there.

What a difference a week makes, 8″ of good ice yesterday, I think it’s time to put the big house out.

I’ve heard people are fishing in some areas of the lake, I checked the ice by our place saturday and we had a couple inches of crusty frozen slush then a little water under that and a inch or two of solid ice under the water. Not the best ice to be out on so be carefull if you venture out.

That was the last one of the season, It was 46″

Walleye fishing was tough this fall for some, muskie fishing was good, a few giants caught late in the season, some pushing fifty pounds. This one was our last fish of the season, not the biggest but still a good reward for being out in some adverse conditions.

He had a little help holding the rod up on the big one but he hauls in the little ones like a pro.
I put the house out before Christmas, the ice is really good this year. The bite was non-existent this past weekend, probably the slowest it’s been all season, looks like cold weather is on the horizon so maybe the bite will pick up again.

Are you fishing eyes on Rainy?

walleyes were a little spotty this weekend but we did get a few.

Plus one stinky white fish

Last week was a great week for walleyes, caught a bunch of keepers and quite a few in the slot,the biggest was 22 (We should get rid of the slot during the winter months, it’s tough tossing back the 18 & 19 inchers.) This past weekend the walleyes disapeared but the jumbo perch took there place, I mean some real big jumbo’s, they were stuffed full of grey crap, not sure what it was but they were puking it up all over the place.
Going back to the shack this weekend might even look around for some crappie and sunnies with the warmer weather.

Ya T. my nieghbor always catches the big one, I did catch one that was about 2″ shorter and it probably wieghed half as much as that chunk in the picture.

Going back to the shack to ring in the new year hopefully that 30″er will grace my rod.

lots of people fishing tower end, I have’nt heard how the fishing has been lately. I fished yesterday with my nieghbor and we caught a 1/2 dozen or so with this 27 being the biggest.

Borrow a 6 gal. can from a fishing buddy, use his hose and mix up some fresh gas, if you still have a problem with the remote tank and different hose then it’s time to look under the hood.

Took a ride over to Mckinley Saturday and saw at least a 100 or so vehicles on the ice plus lots of wheelers and houses. I’ve heard fishing has been decent over that way early & late in the day. Everywhere I drilled a hole last week I found at least 10″ of ice.
