night bite
(Preview)
I have not been up for a few years Last time I was up everyone said not to bother fishing at night because you should be able to get your eyes during the day. We typically did. I have noticed some people talking about fishing at night now. Is night fishing "in" and does it seem to matter? Randy

Went out today with the intention of staying out after dark for Burbot. I didn't really think where I was fishing today would be too good for walleye because I had fished this spot before and didn't catch squat! But I thought it might be g...

Wed. p.m. Report
(Preview)
Fished the last couple of hours yesterday afternoon with my friend Mike. We fished out from Gladstone in 30 fow. I got my first keeper pretty quick, then there was a big lull until about 4:30. The action wasn't fast and furious, but we did manage a few "eaters". Mike's fish was the bigges...

That's some black ice!!!
(Preview)
Pretty cool comparing satellite photos from before and after the warm-up. I'm assuming most of the black on Big Bay is just good black ice. But what really stands out to me is how brown todays photo is. We really lost a bunch of snow!

Current ice conditions
(Preview)
I got a couple panicked phone calls today from guys on the upper bay. One guy was calling from the Vagabond, saying there was A LOT of water on the ice. Another saying the same thing about the yellow gate access. Apparently the strong southerly winds today are pushing a lot of water back into the bay, forc...

Good last trip for 2010
(Preview)
Made my last trip of 2010 south of the Gladstone harbor tonight. The rain and warm weather has melted all the snow, but the ice appears to be in good shape. I would say we lost less than 1/2 inch of ice, compared to just a few days ago, (still about 5 inches of good ice off the harbor.) I got a late start, and did...

Last minute decision to hit the ice today. I got out first and my wife Theresa joined me a couple hours later. I only caught one teeny tiny walleye and one more about 14 3/4 inches before she arrived. I then put her in the shanty and I went outsid...

Nice perch...
(Preview)
A couple guests of ours caught some really nice perch at the north end yesterday afternoon (didn't say exactly where). I do know they were only fishing in 7-8 feet of water. They caught a few more this morning plus a 30 inch walleye. I looked for their trail on the GPS I loaned them, but Paul had deleted i...

Was fishing on LBDN today. My wife and I went off of the South yellow gate. Had the sled and the new Yukon. Their were several trucks that went out today also. I think I will wait a few more weeks before I take mine out. We fished straight out from the launch for awhile in 10 fow and landed only one perch. We the...

Brain pickin' time.. Having never been ice fishing on LBDN a few questions beg to be addressed. Now I know there is plenty of info out there if one would search but I thought by asking anew I might stir up something here. So, what are some popular(successful) color combinations?
