    True, I can say I’ve never got cold when in this ice suit

    I just mark on a calendar what days I fish. I’ll highlight fishing with one color and use a different color for hunting. 55 days for ice/open water for me in 2019. I fish open water way more then ice. Woulda been about 4-5 days more but my boat went back to Lund late September for a beloved new Lund composite transom. So that pretty much eliminated my fall fishing..

    Rantas bay is on the north end of the lake. Popular fishing area more so early in the fishing season. It is very quiet in rantas compared to other parts of the lake cabin wise. Valid point, I know what you mean about being about tied down to one lake..sometimes i feel obligated to be there with the rest of the family or friends, when I have plans of fishing a different lake.

    There was a fish survey guy last year that lives on the lake and was on the lake from opener to October. I must of been surveyed by him 15-20 times. Rumor has it, the cabin/home owners on the lake are pushing hard for walleye stocking. If you like panfish I forgot to mention the big gills later in summer in the lake on my previous post. With the bays, islands and the longer fingers of the lake, it takes a pretty big wind to get blown off in a 16’. Only a 4-5 jet skis on the lake, at least of last year. If you have no plans of building, this sounds prime. Do you access this property off hwy 4 on Blais road or farther north off hwy 16?

    My grandparents have a place on whiteface going on 40 years. A lot of memories on the lake, tho not for bigger fish. I’m 30 and I’ve spent tons of time on the lake. A lot of small 10-12” walleyes, you will get your eaters but sometimes that can even be a little tough with getting size depending on time of year. There are some bigger fish in the lake you hear about from people on the lake. I just haven’t had that much luck for em. Only seen a couple over 25”. I can count on both hands fish over 21” I’ve caught myself.. Talked with the dnr over the years, they say little weed growth and low baitfish populations in turn is why the fish run on the small or stunted in size. The crappie fishing in the summer can be great. It’s nice area, an hour from Duluth and far less busy then island lake even with the lake getting more boat traffic over the years. Lot of rocks and gravel with little sand on the lake. Gotta know where you’re going on the lake if you’re going wide open as one of the thousand rocks on the lake will eat the lower unit. There is a fair amount of lease land on the lake, so that 3 acre plot does sound appealing as god only made so much land. That’s my 2 cents, Good luck on your decision

    I have a trip planned starting April 5 for the bay, fingers crossed it’ll be open by then. We’ll see
