If we get the temps they say we are going to be getting, it is quite possible....

51 on Saturday!!! All we need is a little open water and a lot of wind. I'm giving the long range forecast another 5-10 days before I get serious about getting the boat out of storage. Got some work that needs to be done on the boat and the trailer, then....anchors away!!!

+1!!! It's time to dust off boat and get it out of the corner of the garage and get her ready for open water! I am planning on getting the boat wet for the virgin trip of the year at the end of the month. Granted it will be on the Rainy River in northern MN, open water is open water. Can't wait!

Highs in the 70's in Hawthorne Saturday-Tuesday. No big winds in the forecast though

Gettin' MIGHTY antsy.

Still 2 weeks of icing pannies on some nice late ice spots.. Was out on one of them Wednesday and got some dandies!

[Raider4ever]

Cabin neighbor said that Big Minnie was starting to darken up. HOO-HOO!!!

[Jarrid Houston]

Fished with a buddy out in iron river today and can tell you ice will be gone in the next couple of days and is NOT safe to fish at all right now....scary stuff and we called it a year today.. Time to get the summer stuff ready!

[Raider4ever]

Neighbors at the cabin are thinking ice-out this week on Big Minnie. I love tannin-stained water in the spring.

[BigHitter]

Any ice left on the Brule or is it all gone?

[JAR JAR]

Maybe some shore ice here and there but should not be a problem at all. from my view the river looks great , should be a good weekend

Has anybody been able to get out on the water yet?

Sherpa, have you got out on the river to chase crappies yet?

[Jarrid Houston]

Sherp and I hit the river last Saturday for a few hrs. Nothing.... Have not been out to the lakes yet, but planning on next weekend...

[Sherpa]

Yeah, I've been out twice now and haven't found them yet. Definitely itching to get back out.

[Nastynate]

I plan on hitting a small lake near Solon Springs tomorrow,hope i find me some crappie! Been on vacation all week and the weather has been kinda junk for fishing from my kayak.

[Jarrid Houston]

How was the fishing Nasty Nate? Fishing from a kayak would be a lot of fun....

[Nastynate]

Didn't make it out on the 31st,but did go for a bit on sunday. Ended up going to Wascot instead hoping it would be warmer! Was about 65 and little wind when we got there,fished a little but mostly just paddled around. Never caught a fish! Wind picked up about an hour in,had to stay close to shore,no fish around shore.With all the family stuff this weekend prolly wont get out until next week. My first ever rod build is on the dryer right now! Will post some pics when its done.

[Jarrid Houston]

Cool man and by the way... Welcome to HSO- We look forward to getting a new face in these threads. Thanks for the report, and make sure to keep em coming.

[Nastynate]

First rod is done!

[Nastynate]

[Jarrid Houston]

very cool man. Is your plan to sell them? I like the fishi illustration..

Made it out with Sherpa, and another buddy Friday and Saturday night!

Made it out Friday night-Did not catch much for gillies but sure got into bass and pike. Was fun to reel in fish.. They tasted delicious too!! HAHA just kidding.....Did this down by Minong

Saturday morning got up early and caught a few crappies and gills at another lake near spooner. Again, fun to reel in fish, did not keep anything....

[Poacher's pariah]

Bass? Delicious? Ugh! I'm gonna have to sick Raider on you to set you straight. He knows that they're among nature's best fertilizers.

[Nastynate]

At least somebody is catching something! Hope the weather holds out for this weekend so i can get out again! And yes i do plan on selling some rods(hopefully),got a few to build already for friends/family.I need to get some practice first.

[Raider4ever]

HEY NOW!!! Don't be bashing my "Boyzzzz". Besides, everyone knows that those darn Rock Carp make a MUCH finer mulch.

[jwmiller33]

[Nastynate]
