AGREED !! i'm not giving up on the open water yet!! haven't got to go for a while.( been deer hunting) did bring most of the fishing rods and things inside to be cleaned and greased over Christmas, but certainly not put away!! del

I talked to a guy today that said last weekend they saw a guy in a boat on Big Cormorant fishing and a guy ice fishing on Middle Cormorant. There is only a road that divides these two lakes. But, the 2 ice houses that were on Middle Cormorant last weekend have been removed.

Well, i got my boat put away, but if it starts gettin' warm, I will just have to get it unput away haha
My plan is if we have a warm dry winter, fish open water, if cold and snowy, mostly ice fish.

It's not over for me. I can't wait for ice fishing, but I also fish open water year round. I fish smallies on the river right up until the end of the season in February. And Pool 2 & 4 are both great for winter walleye fishing. A couple of years ago we took the boat up to the Horseshoe Chain in December. After breaking through some shoreline ice we ended up catching some nice channel cats. In March & April I focus on suckers, redhorse, carp etc. & Pool 2 walleyes. Last spring I fished the Hidden Falls area in a boat and had waterskiers zip past me while guys were still ice fishing in the marina area. Only in Minnesota! Vern

Yeah.. my uncle does the winter thing by the dam in Redwing up through december; Q though: isn't all that cold weather hard on the lower unit-- which is bad when your intake valve freezes shut? How do you avoid that? I'm allways told to drain the lower unit before putting it in outside storage; so I'm supposing a heated garage is pretty much a requirement if you plan to boat all year.

If any one is interested in one last open water trip.... My fishing partner for tomorrow just backed out! I'll be fishing the missippi pool4 in the morning. My boat is put away, so I'm going with a guide. $80 for 2 people. Post email or phone # here if interested. FT2
