Another year gone by. Don't know where the time goes to.
Fishing seems to have slowed down, with the weather front we have coming in. We must have got about 3 inches of snow today, and we are suppose to have colder weather and windy tomorrow.
We wish you all a Happy New Year from all of us at Froggy's Sports and Froggy's Fish House Rentals. Each year we meet so many great people and appreciate your business.
Thank you!

Fishing Report
December 26, 2011
Hope you all had a great Christmas holiday weekend. Fishing seems to have slowed down some today, but there is a front coming in and they say we could get an inch of snow tonight. Some snow on the ice is a good thing and should help so the fish won't be so spooky. All in all, we sure have had a good December, weather wise and fishing wise too.
Average ice is about that 10 - 11 inches. There are a few brave soles driving out, but the majority are still using 4-wheelers, or smaller pickups.
Hope to see you out on the ice.
Good fishing!

Still no snow, so it continues to make some good ice. Fishing has been good. I haven't heard much on the walleye, but perch are biting on Cass and panfish on some of the area smaller lakes. Spearing for northern has been doing well. Without the snow, fish are a little spooky.
All of us at Froggy's Sports and Froggy's Fish House Rentals, want to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for your business.
Merry Christmas to you all

There is between 8 to 9 inches of ice on Cass Lake. I had a group of guys up spearing this weekend and they got a nice northern that went 15 lbs. Good time was had by all.
Perch have been biting on Cass in about 4 to 5 feet of water, using a fathead minnow. I also heard that the panfish were biting on Middle Sucker. It is making some great ice, but a nice coating of snow on the ice would be helpful.

SPEAR HOUSES GO OUT ON CASS LAKE!
Froggy and his son Ben were busy this afternoon. Ice is about 4 to 5 inches out on Allen's Bay on Cass Lake and they were able to put out 4 of his spear houses. The assembly line in Froggy's garage is really something to see and watching the going's on getting them on the ice is also exciting. Temps are cold enough now so that it is making ice 24 hours a day. We have all been anxious and are glad to see the hard water!
We have our decoy and heavy minnows in at the store and have finished putting out our winter inventory.

There is an inch of ice on Cass, Wolf and Andrusia. Smaller lakes like Little Wolf and Midge, around 3 inches. I am busy getting my spear houses together and if all goes well, plan to get some houses out on Allen's Bay the middle of next week.
We are busy at the store getting out our ice fishing gear. We also got in some new fishing decoys today. We will also be getting in our decoy and heavy northern minnows in the next day or two.
We will try to keep you posted as to what's going on in the area. If you have any questions, just give us a call.

Ice is starting to form on some of the bays on the bigger lakes. Ponds are frozen over and Midge Lake and Little Wolf Lake have been frozen for a couple of days.
Our winter inventory order should be in any day now and I will be busy after Thanksgiving getting all the spear houses ready to go. The change of seasons brings a new excitement along with it.

First Snow
November 15, 2011
First snow of the season. I guess it's time. Would like to have some snow before the real cold weather comes, to cover the septics. We got about an inch this afternoon.
There are still a few deer hunters coming in to register their deer, but we are hearing that there just isn't the amount of hunters out this year and not as many deer being seen. I think the warm weather we have been having might have something to do with that. Sounds like weather is going to turn colder the next few days.
Well, good luck to you hunters still out there looking for that deer.
After Thanksgiving, I will be busy getting houses ready for the spearing season. If you might be interested in renting a house, just let me know.

It was a great day to be out in the woods today. Sun was shining and temps near 40 degrees and just a nice breeze. Sounds like we might get a few showers tomorrow, but it is suppose to be really nice weather again this weekend.
We continue to register quite a few deer and have seen some really nice bucks. Several 9 and 10 pointers. Biggest one is still 235 and the biggest one registered for our buck contest goes 174.2 pounds.
Again, we wish you all a safe and successful hunt.

Just wanted to wish all of you a safe and successful deer opener! Sounds like maybe some rain and snow on Sunday, north and west of us. As of today, our weather looks pretty good.
Not too many guys out on the water now. A couple guys were in this week and said they were catching walleye out on Cass in the deep water, 40 feet or so. I also heard that the perch are biting on Leech.
Again, have a safe deer opener. Stop in when your in the area. Let us get a picture of you with your deer.

Well most of the cabins have been buttoned down for the season. They are still finding some walleye deep on Cass, around that 30 to 50 feet. They find them shallower in the evening. Fatheads or rainbows are the minnow of choice.
There are still some crappie and perch fishing going on yet, too. As long as the weather holds out, there will be a few guys out on the lake.
From what we are hearing, duck hunting has been slow. They are picking up a few grouse. Archery hunters are out in the woods, waiting for that big buck and doe.
It is really great to be out, if you can, and enjoy these last great days of fall.
I am hoping to finish our jobs out in Bismarck in the next two weeks and then I will be back around and getting things together for my spear house rentals. I don't know where the summer has gone, but we looking forward to a great winter fishing season.
For your information, our store hours are 7AM to 6PM at this time of the year.

Things have been slow the last couple of days, with the crazy wind we have been having. Water temperature is still around that 68 degree mark. Sounds like it will be cooling off next week and we should be having normal temps for this time of the year. Some of the the best fall fishing is yet to come, when that water cools off.
There are a couple of guys braving that wind (I guess that is what you would call it) and they are picking up some walleye. Some are finding them in about 18 to 20 feet of water and perch still around the weed lines in about 5 to 7 feet.
Grouse hunters are out and picking up a few. Great time to be out in the woods. Bear hunting will be ending up the end of next week and then it will be time to think about deer hunting. Don't know where the time goes.
I still have a few jobs to finish up in Bismark, and try to get home on the weekends. Won't be long and I will be getting things together for fish house rentals. You can always leave a message for me at Froggy's Sports or call me on my cellphone.

We have quite a few guys up northern fishing and they seem to be doing well.
Saturday is the Cystic Fibrosis Tournament out of Break on the Lake Resort. Steve and Julie lost a son to this disease. This is the 10th year they have hosted this tournament. It goes for one day from 8AM to 3PM. There is a dinner and rules meeting Friday night at the American Legion in Cass Lake and the chicken and rib dinner is open to the public. They have an auction and things for sale, with all proceeds going to help find a cure for this disease. Sounds like the weather should be good and we hope they have a good turn out.

What a change in our Minnesota weather! We went from 85 degrees to 60 degrees. That takes a little getting used to. I guess for the fish too, although guys are still picking up some walleye and the perch are really doing well.
We have the Cabela pro-tournament going on for Friday and Saturday, so we have had a chance to meet some of the pro-fishermen and have been selling alot of redtails and creek chubs. They seem to be finding walleye, but are looking for the big ones. I would think a couple days will help make the fish more aggresive. Good luck to all the contestants!
We also have coming up, the Cystic Fibrosis tournament held out of Break on the Lake Resort, the weekend of September 30th.

We heard Leech was doing well for walleye about 7 to 10 feet on the weedline, using minnows. Perch bite is also going on Lake Andrusia.
My daughter shot her bear on the 4th of September (her Papa Joe's birthday!) It was an average size black bear and she got it with one shot. She sure was excited. We have had several bear registered at the store, but with all the acorns dropping, hunting has been tough.
Good luck to all you hunters and fishermen too. Enjoy some of this nice fall like weather.

The big Labor Day weekend is just around the corner. Don't know where the whole summer went to.
Fishing out on Cass Lake has been just awesome. Using crawlers and working breaks and bars in that 18 to 25 foot range has been really producing the walleye. Afternoon and evening seem to be the best time of day. In the evening they are working the weed lines, using shad raps and rapajas. We are hoping for the bite to continue, as the cooler weather comes and water temps cool off some. Right now the water temp is about 73 degrees. Hope you will get a chance to get out there and enjoy some really good fishing.
Have a safe and happy holiday.

Bear hunting will be opening in a week. My daughter, Crissy, is going to try for her first bear. I'm hoping one will come in to the bait for her.
Hope you will get a chance to get out and enjoy these nice days we are having. See you out on the water.

Crawlers are still the bait of choice. Fishing has picked up the last couple of days. There have been some nice northern caught. Walleye seem to be more active. Still working that 8 to 10 feet in the evening. Cass and Andrusia have been both doing really well.
Weather has been great, so I hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy the water and the nice evenings.
Our friends from Monticello, Chad Pribyl and his dad, Roger and their families will be up this weekend for their weekly stay in the area. They always have a successful fishing trip and leave with a couple fishing tails to tell. We look forward to seeing them again.
My oldest son leaves for Mesabi Community College tomorrow. Don't know where the time has gone.
See you out on the water.

Not too much new happening. Water temps are around 78 degrees. Needs to cool down some and fishing should pick up. Best bet for catching those "eyes" are crawlers. They are still out deeper during the day and coming up to the weed lines in the evening. Shad raps in the evening.
They are getting some nice perch and there is northern and bass action. Smaller lakes are producing some panfish also.
Hope you can get out and enjoy some of these nice August days. Don't know where the summer has gone.
Hope to get the boat out on the lake tomorrow afternoon. Even though it's busy, it sure is nice to come home on the weekend and spend some time in good old northern Minnesota!

With the weather fronts coming and going every couple of days, fishing still seems to be doing okay. Walleye seem to be doing the best in the evening, using shad raps and rapajas. Crawlers are still the popular bait.
Some nice size northern have been biting on Leech using the light and heavy northern minnows.
Sounds like we have rain coming again tonight and then the temps for the next few days are going to be in the 70's. Water temps are near 80 degrees now. If minnows are used for bait, don't forget to temper them, so you don't take them from 48 degree water temperature to 80 degree. If we get a few days of cooler weather, that should help the walleye bite also.

Walleye seem to be picking up a little. We had a nice "eye" brought in yesterday, that weighed 6lbs 8 ounces. It was caught on a number 2 hook and a leech, on "No Tell" lake. It was a dandy. Panfish, bass and northern are still doing well. Still throwing those shad raps and rapajas in the evening for the walleye.
We are all hoping that this license mess will be over in a couple of days. We will keep you all posted.

We do have a river mix and also some redtails in the store, if you are set on using minnows. Leeches and crawlers are going out the door. Guys are still using some minnows out on Cass. Walleye are slow going yet. Seems like they are out deeper during the day, around that 20 to 25 feet and then guys are having some luck throwing shad raps and rapajas at them in the evening, along the weed lines.
Bass, pan fish and northern have been doing well, so that keeps everyone interested. Hope you are able to get out and enjoy this nice weather.

Fishing is still going strong. Water temps are around 63 degrees, so the jig and minnow is still working. As soon as the water temps rise, they will be switching over to leeches and crawlers. In fact, we are seeing more leeches and crawlers leaving the store. We also have a river mix that seems to be working well.
Everyone is concerned about the state shutdown and getting DNR licenses. If you are planning to come up this way this weekend, I would suggest getting your license on line. I wouldn't think shutdown would last for too long. I am hoping that these politicians will work together and get things settled. Seems to me there was a shutdown about 5 years ago and it lasted about 10 days. Lets hope they get their act together.
We are wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

All in all the fish are still cooperating, as long as the wind dies down so the boats can get out on the lake and hit their favorite spots. The best walleye fishing seems to be in that 20 to as shallow as 7 foot range.

Guys are still going with that jig and minnow, although there are a few leeches and crawlers going out the door. Sounds like the walleye are a little deeper, around that 15 to l8 feet and shallower on the windy days.
Weather is good and fishing is even better. Helps to forget that really long winter that we had.
My oldest son, Jerimiah, graduated from Bemidji High School this weekend. The graduation ceremony was really nice and we are so proud of him. Where has the time gone?

Hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend. I am off to Bismarck, ND for a couple of weeks, so the rest of the family will be manning the store. After this job is done, we will be working in the Albany area, so that won't be too bad a drive on the weekends.

The opener started out wet and cold, but the sun did shine this afternoon. We are hearing reports of walleye in 7 to 9 feet of water, with a jig and a minnow. Sounds like Cass, Andrusia, as well as Big Wolf, produced some fish. Shiners were a premium this weekend because of the cool water temps and just were real slow to trap. For every 20 to 30 gallons we hoped to get, we ended up with 10. The rainbow minnow did seem to do well though, this weekend. I'm sure with the warm weather coming next week and the sunshine, we will be getting all kinds of shiner minnows. Would have been nice to have the opener a week later. I guess that's kind of the rule of thumb for opening weekend though.
Hope you had a safe and successful opening weekend!

Day before the big fishing opener
May 13, 2011
Sounds like the opener will be cloudy, cool and rainy. Water temps have gone down the last couple of days to about 43 degrees this morning. We are getting some shiners in, but very slowly. I am sure that with the warmer weather and sunshine that they are predicting for next week, we will have all kinds of shiners. You just can't fool with "Mother Nature". We do have rainbows and all kinds of fathead minnows. The store will be open all night tonight. We usually close for a couple of hours between 2AM and 5AM. Have a safe trip up north and a great opening weekend.
Someone stopped by the store yesterday and said they had heard on KSAX (not sure if it was radio or TV) that they were following our blog and were wondering where Froggy's Sports was. Hope you will check out our web page. We are located just south of Cass Lake on Highway 371. Our family run store has a little bit of everything. Bait, tackle, snacks, hot sauces, clothing and even some really awesome horseradish pickles. Stop by and check us out!
Have a great opener!

Sounds like the opener will be cloudy, cool and rainy. Water temps have gone down the last couple of days to about 43 degrees this morning. We are getting some shiners in, but very slowly. I am sure that with the warmer weather and sunshine that they are predicting for next week, we will have all kinds of shiners. You just can't fool with "Mother Nature". We do have rainbows and all kinds of fathead minnows. The store will be open all night tonight. We usually close for a couple of hours between 2AM and 5AM. Have a safe trip up north and a great opening weekend.
Someone stopped by the store yesterday and said they had heard on KSAX (not sure if it was radio or TV) that they were following our blog and were wondering where Froggy's Sports was. Hope you will check out our web page. We are located just south of Cass Lake on Highway 371. Our family run store has a little bit of everything. Bait, tackle, snacks, hot sauces, clothing and even some really awesome horseradish pickles. Stop by and check us out!
Have a great opener!
Hope to see you out on the water!
Good fishing.

Fishing Opener
May 9. , 2011
Fishing opener is just around the corner. We are busy getting tanks filled and putting inventory out on the shelves. We will be getting our minnows in on Thursday. Water temps are in the mid 50's. Question is, how are the shiners going to trap? We should know more by Thursday.
We will be open all night Friday night until 1AM Saturday morning and then reopen the store at 5AM. Just give us a call if you are running late Friday night and need us to stay open.
Sounds like the weather is suppose to improve and be sunny this weekend. We wish you all a safe and good opener.

Ice is all out now, but this weather really keeps us quessing. One nice day and then a couple days of cold again. We are hoping for a better weather pattern next week. Boats are getting ready and people are out opening up their cabins for the opener.
Guess we have to just take one day at a time. It is sure to get better!

Guess we will really have spring! Sold some minnows today. Everyone is anxious to get out and give fishing a try.

Sorry our website was down for a couple of days. We had computer problems and I didn't get the email to renew our domain until last night. We are up and going again!
It has been cool all week and ice is disappearing slowly on most area lakes. I see this morning that Midge Lake is open now. Midge and Little Wolf are usually the first lakes to open up around here.
We have been working on our inventory and Dean has been down in the cities burying underground cable. He will be around this weekend. We will be glad to see him back and have a bunch of questions for him. All in all, things are going fine.
We will be closed on Sunday for Easter and would like to wish all of our friends and family a very happy and safe Easter weekend.

April 12, 2011 We had rain all day Sunday and all the snowbanks have disappeared. It has been really quiet the last few days, no one has been going out. I guess it's time to work on getting the boat out and thinking about open water. I'm sure there will be some guys walking out to ther secret fishing hole yet, but after all that rain we had, the ice is pretty honeycombed. We will be getting our summer inventory in the store in the next couple of weeks, so we will be working on change over. It has been a long winter and we are all looking forward to open water, green grass and warm weather! See you out on the water. Good fishing! Froggy

We are looking for a buyer for Froggy's, so if you might be interested, give us a call. I will be working with a friend of mine burying underground cable this summer.

Still getting some perch. Ice conditions are great. It sounds like next week, we will finally get three or four nice warm days and I think that will improve the perch bite. Hopefully the ice will hold and we will get some good perch fishing through the end of March.
Just a reminder that our hours on Sundays are from 7AM until noon. Please give us a call if you would like us to stay open later for bait.

Ice is better now then it's been all winter. Snow has melted on the lake, so you can get around all over with no problems.
Guys that are going out, are picking up some perch. Hopefully the weather will settle down, so the action will pick up.

Perch bite is on and we have been getting some really nice walleye just before dark, from my rental houses on Allen's Bay. The melted snow has frozen and you can get just about anywhere now. We are working 15 to 18 feet and have heard some guys having luck in that 24 foot range.
This is the last weekend for walleye and northern, until the opener in May. There will still be lot of good perch fishing, hopefully for a good couple of weeks or more, depending on how the ice holds up.
Hope you will get a chance to get out this weekend and pull in a few of those "eyes".

Cooler weather has come back and helped freeze up some of the melted snow on the lakes. Walleye bite has been happening on Allen's Bay on Cass Lake just before dark and we have also been picking up some nice perch. Pike's Bay has also been doing well. They are working that 15 to 18 foot range, just off the humps.
Eelpout was going on in Walker this weekend and some of the residents on Steamboat Lake had a local get together, also. They were fixing some of their famous bloody mary's.
Sounds like the southern part of the state is going to get hit with more snow. They are saying an inch to three inches for us. Most of the snow has melted from the lakes and getting around seems to be easier.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy this extra long weekend and get out on the ice.

Winter Fishing Challenge tournament on Cass Lake went well. Weather was great and a good time was had by all. Biggest Fish caught was a northern just over 2 lbs.
With this string of warm days, perch have been biting. Moving around on the lakes is getting to be a challenge. Lots of water, with all this melting. It sounds like it will be getting colder this weekend.
I have an opportunity to work with a friend of mine, burying underground cable, as his foreman, so we are looking for a buyer for Froggy's Sports. The rest of the family will continue to run things while I am out on the road this summer. Mom and Dad are hoping to retire soon. So that's the way it goes. Life keeps bringing us changes.
Hope you will get a chance to come up and get some fishing in yet this month. I am still renting out some houses and the best perch fishing is yet to come.
Stop in when your in the area.

Rules meeting is on Friday night at the American Legion in Cass Lake and there will also be a walleye dinner, put on by the Cass Lake Fire Department.
Again, we will be shuttling people out with their portables. There will be someone available to drill holes, or you can drill your own. Volunteers will be getting out on the ice around 9AM. Tournament starts at noon and ends at 3PM.

Because of the slush and snow on Cass Lake, the Winter Fishing Challenge will be out on Allen's Bay this year. They will be going out of Break on the Lake Resort. We have plowed out the tournament fishing area and also the parking area. If you have any questions, give us a call, or call the Cass Lake Chamber. We are hoping to have a good turn out.

Well, I have been busy keeping roads open to my spear houses. The guys have been getting some perch, some 3 to 5 lb northern and a walleye or two. With all the fronts coming and going, fishing has been on the slow side. There are still some slushy spots, but where I have plowed, the ice is solid and the next few days are going to be really cold, so I think that will help. Hope you will get a chance to come up and get out in an ice shack!
Just a reminder, the Cass Lake Chamber has it's annual fishing contest on Cass Lake on February 12th. Tickets are $35. and we have them at the store. If you buy them on the ice, they are $40. Lot of cash prizes again this year, as well as other prizes worth $100 and more. It's always a fun time.

They are still working that 12 to 16 feet for walleye and shallower for the perch. They might not be getting huge amounts of fish, but everyone seems to get enough for a meal anyway. If you can spend a day out in the ice shack and get a meal of fish, what more can we ask for!
Hope you will get a chance to come up to good old northern Minnesota and enjoy some time fishing on the hard water.

After the snow, now we have the cold weather. Fishing has improved, since the front has moved through. Northerns were moving today and walleye were biting. The sun was shining today and with the snow on all the trees and the snow banks all over, it really looked like a good old fashion Minnesota winter. You have to watch for some slush out on the lakes.
Keep those snuggies on!
