Fishing Report

February 26, 2011

Perch fishing is doing well out on Pike Bay. They are working that 15 to 18 feet of water, using fatheads or wax worms.

We will be shortening our Sunday hours. We will be open from 7AM until noon, on Sundays. If you are running late or need us to stay open a little later, just give us a call at the store 218-335-6800.

Sounds like it will be warming up some tomorrow, so hope you can get a chance to get out and enjoy some ice fishing.

See you on the lake.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

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".

Good fishing!

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.

Good fishing!

Happy Valentines Day!

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.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

February 7, 2011

We had a couple groups who limited out on nice perch this weekend out on Pike Bay. It sounds like we will have a couple of colder days and then really nice for the Winter Fishing Challenge on Cass Lake, out of Break on the Lake Resort. Chamber has been busy getting the final touches in place. 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.

Hope to see a lot of you out on the lake on Saturday.

Good Fishing.

Fishing has been slow, but with a couple of warm days coming up, I am thinking this weekend should be much better.

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. There are some great prizes, along with the cash prizes and lots of fun for all. Hope to see you there!

Good fishing!
