Well, everyone is getting plowed out. We got about 12 inches of snow over the weekend. I was out plowing on Allen's Bay and Pike Bay today. I will be putting out a couple more of my rental fish houses in the next day or two.
Perch seem to be biting and a few walleye here and there. It is suppose to be colder and clear the next few days and I think fishing will be picking up.
We want to wish all of our family and friends a safe and Happy New Year's! We will be open our regular hours this weekend, 7AM to 6PM. Stop in and say Hi!
Good fishing.

We will be putting out some of our rental houses this weekend. With the really cold weather, we are making about on inch of ice a night. Big Wolf has about 3 inches of ice and Dixon Lake Resort on the north side of Winnie has about 4 inches and are putting out houses already.
Being we didn't get all that snow that went south and east of us, we are making some good ice on the area lakes. Caution should always be used though! It is still plenty early.
Hope to see you out on the lake.

Calvin Wittner is in the lead for the biggest doe, going at l85 pounds. Contest goes until the 23rd, so we'll see what happens. Congratulations to the current leaders!

With the cool, rainy weather, we have not seen a lot of guys going out on the lake. There have been a few grouse hunters out and about. All the leaves still haven't left the trees yet, so they are hard to spot.
We're getting geared up for opening firearm deer season on the 7th of November. Sign up for our biggest buck and biggest doe contest! We will be giving away a 30-06 rifle for the biggest buck and a 270 Marlin for the biggest doe. We also have second and third place prizes.
Remember to give me a call for Froggy's Fishhouse Rentals. I can answer your questions and get you set up for the ice fishing season.

Fishing has been sort of slow in the area. We have had rain and cool weather the last several days and it sounds like there is more rain coming and cooler weather yet toward the end of the week.
Break on the Lake Resort had their cystic fibrosis tournament on Saturday and most of the guys did really well. It's a really a good cause and everyone has a good time.
There are a few gross hunters going out. There is still lots of cover so hunting is hard. It will improve in a couple weeks, when the leaves start falling off the trees. Weather was good for duck hunting and though there weren't a whole lot of ducks, everyone seemed to get a few.
We registered our first archery deer yesterday. Firearm season will be coming before we know it.
I got back from my Wyoming trip yesterday. We had another successful hunt and a good time was had by all.

Hi from Mama Froggy and the gang! Froggy is off in Wyoming bow hunting for whitetail deer and mule deer and then to the Dakotas for antelope on their way back to Minnesota.
Weather has been just great and the fish are biting. Several of the resorts are coming in for fathead minnows on a regular basis. Cass is producing walleye, perch and some real nice sunfish in Allen's Bay. They are working the walleye in about 18 feet of water and up shallow in the evening.
Hope you are all enjoying this nice Fall weather we are having. Stop by when you are in the area.
Sounds like the grouse hunters are hearing plenty of grouse in the woods, but with all the leaves they are hard to see. Give that a week or so and that should improve.

The perch bite is on. Cass Lake, Winnie and Pike Bay all have been doing well. They are picking up some walleye too, starting out in that 16 to 18 foot range. Cedar Bar and North Cedar Bar on Cass are producing walleye. Shad raps and rapajas in the evening, along the weed lines seem to be working.
They have been getting some nice northern on Big Wolf, using a bobber and minnow.
Bear season is on. We have registered about 22 bear so far. My wife, shot her first bear on the opening day, with one shot. It weighed in at 190 pounds. She did the "Froggy Dance" out in the woods. She was really excited! My brother-in-law also got a big bear, weighing in at 384 pounds, field dressed. That was a beauty!
Fall seems to be settling in. Don't know where the summer went to. We have had really nice weather this last 10 days or so. The best fishing is yet to come.
Good luck to all the fishermen and you hunters out there.

Some guys have also done well with crawlers and leeches in about l8 feet. Perch are going in about 4 to 7 feet on weed lines and breaks. Work the edge of the bars at night using crank baits.
Kitchi has also been producing some walleye in 10 to 12 feet, on the edge of the breaks.
Weather was just great today and sounds like it should be nice most of next week. Hope you can get out on the water and enjoy these nice days.

Well, we finally have summer this week! Sure is nice to have the warm temperatures and the sunshine.
Cass Lake has been producing walleye in the evenings trolling with raps, on the north end of the lake, in about 8 to 9 feet of water. They have also been picking up some nice perch south of Cedar Island. Northerns have been productive, using a sucker minnow and bobber.
Sucker Bay and Pine Point on Leech have also been producing some walleye and northerns. And if your looking for northerns, Big Wolf is always a lake to try.
With this warmer weather, the musky should be turning on and getting active.
Hope you can all get out and enjoy this nice weather!

Most of the fishing action is currently on the north end of Cass Lake, with the best luck between 9:30PM and 12:30AM, trolling raps along the gravel bars.
I really recomment locating the fish on a graph first. The walleyes are constantly moving, not staying in one spot for more than two hours. Using leeches or crawlers in six to twelve feet will produce the best results.
Lake Winnie has been seeing an increase in perch and walleye activity and the muskie bite is starting. Northern are being caught using a sucker minnow and a bobber on the edge of a good weed line. For best results fish in nine feet of water about six and a half feet down.
Creek chubs and leeches have been working best on Pike Bay. Crawlers are also producing some bites. Perch are being caught on the east public landng along the edge of the weed lines.
Hope to see you out on the water!

Cass Lake has been producing a good bite since the warm weather moved in and the mayfly hatch is over. Best results are when using a lindy rig in eight to ten feet of water tipped with a night crawler or leech. The evening bite has been strong, trolling slowly in eight to twelve feet of water, using a shallow running shad rap on the break lines.
Northern action is also improving using a sucker minnow and bobber. Sunfish have also been caught on Cass Lake using a chunk of night crawler or wax worms or small leeches. Sunfish and northen are also doing well on Lake Andrusia and many small area lakes are starting to produce some bass.
Anglers have been doing well on Pike Bay, catching walleyes in eight to twelve feet of water using leeches on a blue and white or chartreuse jig.
Hope to see you out on the water.

Fishing on Cass Lake has been getting better since the water is warming up. Temp is about 64 degrees. Walleyes are biting on the north end in about 25 to 30 feet of water during the day. Shiners are still the main bait of choice, but the leeches and night crawlers are going strong also. The late evening bite on rapalas started about a week ago. There has been some nice walleye caught at night trolling on North Cedar Bar and the Narrows. There has also been a few muskies caught, but more follows then strikes. With the water temps warming up, that will change in a hurry. Northern pike have been more aggresive and many families are having a good time with a minnow and a bobber. Crappie fishing has slowed down.
On Lake Andrusia walleye have been biting in l8 feet of water. Shiners or fathead on a jig works well on this lake. Work the break lines and drop offs. There is also a nice hump to work between the two rivers that produce wallye all summer long. This is a nice little lake to fish. It not only holds a good number of walleye, but it is also known for it's northern pike. Take a sucker minnow and sit on the outside of the weed line or the edge of the cabbage.
Walleye fishing on Pike Bay has been good also. Fish are being caught on the center bar or working the edge of the cabbage line in 15 to 20 feet of water. Perch are being caught in 6 to 12 feet of water with a jig and a fathead minnow.
Remember to stay safe and have fun fishing. Please practice catch and release for the future.

Fishing is tremendous on Leech Lake right now. Leech is a great lake to head out on right now and it is providing a tremendour walleye bite. Remember that Leech does have a slot limit of 17-27 inches.
Cass Lake is also producing walleyes, especially on the north end. The bite is most productive in 12 feet of water using a jig and a shiner/fathead or leeches.
Ravens Point on Winnie has been phenomenal. The bite has been strong mainly in 12-14 feet of water.
Andrusia and Pike Bay have both been doing well and most area bays have been producing a steady crappie bite.
A consistent weather pattern will help bring about a stronger bite.
Hope to see you out on the water.

Fishing is picking up on Cass Lake, Big Wolf and Andrusia. Jig and a minnow seems to be working in about 20 feet on the north shore of Cass and also Pike Bay. Leeches and crawlers are just starting to go out the door. Water temperature is about 58 degrees. Hope it will start warming up soon. Seems like were all anxious for some warm weather!
Leech Lake has been doing awsome. There was a tournament last weekend and another one again this weekend.
Everyone seems to be glad to put on their snuggies and get out on the water, even though temps aren't the warmest, yet. Don't forget your bug spray!
See you on the water!

Most anglers did really well. The majority of the anglers found success in working the mouths of the rivers using a jig and shiner presentation. Ssome anglers saw success using a fathead and a jig on Lake Andrusia.
The weather was cool and damp with a high temp near 50 degrees and little wind. As far as openers go, it was a typical one weather wise. As long as you dressed for the elements it was a fun time and the fishing will only get better in the next few weeks.

Ice is looking pretty black on area lakes. The smaller lakes will probably be open in the next 3 or 4 days and the larger lakes won't be too far behind. They are talking 70 degree weather tomorrow and rain on the weekend. Get those boats out! It has been a long winter and I think everybody is ready for summer.
We are trying to finish up some repair work and get inventory changed around. Everybody is getting anxious for the opener now. Won't be long.

Well, with the nice warm weather we are having, ice has melted along most of the area shorelines. Our "Walking on Water" is coming to an end for another season. We will be busy packing up the winter jigs and finding room for all the new summer inventory coming in.
As usual, there are some repairs to be made, tanks to be cleaned and supplies to be ordered. In less then a month the 2009 walleye opener will be here! It's been a long winter and we are all looking forward to the summer fishing season.
Hope to see all our old friends and new ones, again this summer.

We have a few fishermen going out, but all in all, things have been pretty quiet this week. There is still plenty of ice in the middle of the lakes, but you have to watch the landings.
I have seen lots of boats going up and down Highway 371 this week. Some guys are going up to the Rainy River and then others are getting their boats out of storage and getting them all ready for the opener; which isn't that far off!
We will be changing over to Spring inventory the middle of April. We are going to be closed on Easter Sunday. All of us here at Froggy's wish you a blessed Easter.

Well last Monday night and Tuesday we got about 8 more inches of snow on the ground. Fishing has slowed down some after the new snow. It is a nice sunny day today. I heard of some jumbo perch being caught out on Winnie in about 12 feet of water just off the camp grounds on the west side. There are also some perch biting out on Shingobee Bay on Leech Lake .
Cass Lake and Pike Bay are getting some perch also, but you have to be mobile. There is plenty of ice yet, but you have to watch the landings and the best way to go is with your 4-wheeler.
With the sun shining today, it's nice to get out. I think everyone is getting tired of the long winter and the gray days.
It won't be long and we'll be thinking about getting the boats out!

Well, we've had lots of rain and even snow today. Not too many guys going out on the lakes and those that are, seem to be going out with 4 wheelers. With all the rain we've had, you really have to watch where your at, just in case water has opened up a hole on the lake. There are some crappies and nice perch being caught, but again, be careful.
We had a nice meal of crappies the other night, thanks to Allen Bonk from Hackensack! They were caught on that "No Name Lake!". Those crappy fishermen are all pretty tight lipped. Thanks Allen!
Use caution out on the ice and Good Fishing!

With the warm weather, the snow has really been melting and there has been lots of water on the ice. The last couple of days it's been cooler, but sounds like it will be warmer again on Saturday. There is still plenty of ice. Fishing should be good yet for a week or two. It all depends on Mother Nature!
With the warmer weather, guys have been hitting the smaller lakes looking for crappie. They are still picking up perch on Cass and Pike Bay. Hope you will get a chance to get out and give it a try. When it's warm enough you can stand out on the ice and fish, that's always a good time.

We got dumped on yesterday. Another good old Minnesota snow fall. I would say we have about 12 inches in the Cass Lake, Bemidji area. Everybody is busy today plowing and shoveling out. Sun is shining, so that does help some. I guess it is suppose to get cold tonight, but start warming up on Friday and be really nice for the weekend.
Perch have been biting good on Pike Bay and Cass Lake through the weekend. It has been quiet around the area the last couple of days, with the snow. Sounds like they have been getting some nice perch on Leech, around Shingobee Island and some crappie bite by Little Hardwoods.
See you on the lake!

Well we got about 3 inches of snow today and now it sounds like it is going to be cold the next couple of days. Sounds like the southern part of the state really got dumped on.
We really need some warm weather and I think that would help stabilize the fishing. We get a warm day or two and then another cold spell. The bigger perch were coming up in about 10 feet of water, but now with the snow and cold again, things have been slow today.
Well, it can only get better, right? We have plenty of ice and seems like getting around on the lakes isn't a problem, so that's a good thing.
Hang in there, with some warmer weather, perch and crappy should both start to turn on.
See you out on the lake.

Cass Lake and Pike Bay are still producing some perch and walleye. You have to be mobile and pick through the perch and the walleye are biting light and seem to be hitting in a 45 minute slot just before dark. I'd work that 12 to 18 feet of water and see what it produces.
Eel pout is going on out on Leech Lake this weekend. It's fun just to drive through and check out all the different fish houses out on the lake. A good time is had by all!
Haven't heard too much on the crappie bite, but the crappie fishermen are pretty closed mouthed and I guess you can't blame them for that. It is suppose to warm up next week, so I would think that the perch and panfish bite should start to pick up.
Hope to see you out on the lake.

Cass Lake Winter Fishing Challenge has come and gone. We had great weather and a better turnout than ever. We look forward to this event growing bigger and better next year.
Pat Murphy of Brainerd won the $2,000 first place cash prize with a 3.94 pound northern he caught 10 minutes before the contest ended. 6 $500 raffle prizes were awarded to Tony Morris, Case Howard, Mary Ausk, Mark Wolters , Tomy Hegland and Scott Pemberton. Other cash prizes went to Anthony Vetsch, $1,500 for 10th place; Selena Breno Raisch, age 12, $1,000 for 20th place; Erick Hoglund, $1,000 for 30th place; and Reece Norenberg, age 10, $1,500 for 40th place. There were also 57 other prizes awarded, worth $100 or more in value. Congratulations to all!
Perch are still biting, with a walleye here and there. There is water on the lake, but we have plenty of ice and it sounds like it will be cooling off starting Thursday this week, so things will be freezing up again.
I am going to try to do some rental ice houses next winter, so let me know if any of you might be interested.
Stop by when your in the area. Hope to see you on the ice.

Wow, what a crispy day! There are some guys going out for the walleye and perch today. Fishing has been slow the last few days. Sounds like we will have cold weather through Thursday and then it is going to warm up some for the weekend. Maybe that will trigger the fish to bite.
I am heading for Red Lake this afternoon to meet a buddy of mine and check out the fishing up there.
Hope you can enjoy this good old Minnesota winter! Keep warm. Once we make it through January, it seems like down hill after that.
