Jarrid Houston Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's to bad to hear, but not surprising, happens all the time especially with the elder group who still think stuff like that is okay to do. It is really up to us these days to encourage the right fish ethics. And it is good that there are people doing te right thing put there. Take care n good luck Nate!

catchsomefish Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey, so I lived in Duluth for quite sometime so I always fished in Minnesota. I guess that I am just wondering about good places to fish on the Wisconsin side. Any good place to catch kamloops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrid Houston Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Not much off a trout n salmon guy, but the inland lakes have a nice assortment of the usual fish. Each lake has its advantages and disadvantages... Sorry I coul not be more help, maybe someone with kamloop experience will chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 NO Kamloops here on the south shore, I believe they would be considered steelhead on this side and you would be pressed to find any open water on the lake to fish them right now . i went and checked Wisconsin Point yesterday to see if I could get out and ice fish it but the east winds broke up what ice we did have here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrid Houston Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Tried hard to catch crappies today, struggled... Ended up catching 8-10 most were small. Did manage 4 that were keeper size but let em swim. Also did find smaller gillz where I iced about a dozen out of boardem. Back at her tomorrow. Crappies were really slow and wood only take a dead sticked crappie minnow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider4ever Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ok, question time. Watching Bass Pros and they're talking Alabama Rigs. Went to a HSOforum and they said that a 3-armed Alabama rig is legal in WI. What do you guys think? Someone said Rock Carp guys are using a 3-arm rig for 'eyes.

Jarrid Houston Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Got out on Nebaggie and Minni yesterday, time spent on Nebaggie included a few hrs of getting the trailblazer free from the snow (yes we got stuck).. Careful out there.Minni consisted of only 2 hrs fishing with a few gills n 1 crappie (released). They had the road house crappie tourney out there, so there was no lack of fish pressure!

Jarrid Houston Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 No lack of fish pressure again yesterday on Minni, they had the Waskos Tourney. Big crappies are hard to come by out there with all the big ones getting weighed in....Also traveled to the minong flowage hoping to find some fish, nothing. Ended the day at Lyman where we trekked miles through the deep snow, again nothing. Looked as though the spot I was on earlier this ice season got pounded out. Oh well, time to find a new spot. Weather was nice anyway, and we got plenty of excersize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider4ever Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I thought they shut down that tourney's sponsor? Only 6 weeks until the opener. Will we need the boat or the auger? UGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrg Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 anyone been up to bark bay? is the landing there free of ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrid Houston Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Noticed a sign on corner of P & B today. Said something along the lines of "Save the fish on lake Minni". Anyone know anything about that? I like it!Got out for a couple hours and did some drilling and walking around. Didn't catch a lot of fish, but caught a nice base tan on my face and arms "oofda". Love fishing in my t shirt! Managed 3 dump eyes biggest was 11.5". Nice to get out and enjoy the day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 mrg as far as I know , Bark Bay is still iced in, I think it will be awhile before you can get out.. Do a google for Lake Superior MODIS and it will show you a Satellite Imagery of Lake Superior . If you are itchin to get out , check out the Noth shore , I know they are ice fishing off Wisconsin Point still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracker Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 How much ice is out there? Would be nice to tangle into a few walleyes yet thus year! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not much for a bite that I've heard , just a few pout right at dark but I guess some guys are out to 60 f.o.w.chasing lakers Crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher's pariah Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 The gal who owns that corner lot is opposed to mining. The sign reads something to the effect of "save the fish. stop sulfide mining". If she really cared about animals, she wouldn't let her chickens and ducks run around out in the road.

Raider4ever Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 What's the ice like on Big Minnie? I'm thinking the usual third weekend in April ice-out is not going to be happening. Any thoughts/opinions? Thanks Guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 A co-worker lives on the lake said it has close to 32" still out there... we had better get some warmer weather to get all that out of there. I was up in Kimballs bay on Saturday and there was 36" at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher's pariah Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Raider, at the current melt rate, those beloved bucket mouths will be safe at least until August. Lots of ice and plenty of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrid Houston Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yessir, we have weeks left of ice fishing, weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider4ever Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah that's what I figured. My mother-in-law went down to visit one of her friends on the lake and drove by her place. Couldn't even drive into it. This is brutal. Got a new (to me) 50lb Minn Kota with I-Pilot. Need this stuff to go away so I can: 1. Put it on the boat, 2. Try out that electronic anchor. It's only a 12v so I will be getting rid of one battery and one big freaking anchor from the front of my boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider4ever Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Really? We can seriously play the "auger or outboard on the opener" game? This STINKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrg Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 hows the pack ice looking on the south shore? bark bay landing open yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Raider, I'm thinking positive, I put away all the ice gear and stowed away the portable and started mounting the stuff on the big lake boat yesterday, so I hope we can get some warm weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
