Fishing Report

December 27, 2014

Walleye, perch and northern fishing are all doing well.  We have had several guys going out for crappy, but they are pretty closed liped as to whether they are biting or not.  

Ice conditions are good and the weather has been great.  Hope you can get out and enjoy the hard water fishing this winter.  This has been a real treat, compared to last year's conditions.

See you out on the ice.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

December 18, 2014

We continue to hear walleye and perch being caught.  Walleye are shallow, about 6 to 8 feet.  Froggy's rentals are picking up some nice northern also.

We are hearing ice to be about 12 to 14 inches thick.  Some are driving out with smaller vehicles.  Check your area before you venture out. 

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.  Jerimiah will be home from Fort Hood this Christmas, so we will have all the tadpoles here this year!  Family and friends - what a great gift!

We will be closing at noon on Christmas Eve Day and will be closed Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas to you all, from all of us at Froggy's Sports.

Fishing Report

December 7, 2014

We are hearing some good fishing reports.  Walleye and perch out on Pike Bay, Cass Lake and Leech.  Nice walleye out on Andrusia and also getting some good size northern.  One of Froggy's rental houses picked up a really nice northern yesterday, also.  I believe it went around l3 pounds.  Froggy posted a picture on Froggy's facebook.

Ice conditions are averaging around 12 inches.  Some guys are reporting as much as 14 to 18 inches in areas.  It's always a good idea to check the ice before you venture out.  Snowmobiles and 4 wheelers are going out and an occasional light vehicle.

We are hearing about 4 inches of ice on Lake Thirteen and guys going out on Garfield also.  One guy was going out by Tom's Harbor on Cass to try for some walleye, but Cass is still open in the middle.  Steamboat is open yet, but someone said that it looked like Pike Bay had a layer of ice for as far as he could see.  It is definitely making ice! 

We are getting in some fresh bait today, and also some decoy minnows.  Please remember to use caution, it is still early.

Froggy's Sports For Sale

November 14, 2014

We have been trying to sell Froggy's on our own and now have decided to list it with a good friend of ours, Tomy Hegland, of Grimes Realty in Bemidji.  The Old Toad and I are just getting worn out.  Ideally, it would be nice to sell Froggy's and then be able to work there a couple days a week.

The asking price is $179,000, plus inventory.  There is also the empty lot next to Froggy's that needs to have something built, to add additional income for the business.  There is potential here for an enthusiastic buyer.  If you might be interested, or know of anyone who is, give Grimes Realty a call.  There number is 218 751 3123.

We have been busy putting out our winter and summer inventory.  We just about have it licked!  Thanks to the Old Toad and Auntie Mitz, we are down to a couple of boxes.  We should be getting our Northland order in sometime the middle of December. 

Our bay on Big Wolf Lake had a thin layer of ice on it this morning.  Will it stay?  Hopefully, we won't get alot of big snows right now and keep temps in the 20's during the day and l0 degrees or lower at night, and we will start making some real ice!  We're ready!

Just want to say "thanks" to all our family, friends and customers, who stop in at Froggy's.  Your what makes Froggy's a special small business in the Cass Lake area. 

Thanks again for everything!

Deer Hunting

Deer opener was a windy, rainy day.  This morning we woke up to a cool, crisp morning, with a couple of inches of snow and the sun is shining.    I can't even describe it.  This north country is just beautiful!

Reports we heard on deer hunting yesterday, was poor.  I think with the rainy, windy day, the deer were laying low.  I would think that today hunting should definitely be better.

Enjoy the day out there hunters.  Good luck and be safe!

Fishing continues to be doing well, but the amount of fishermen in the area right now has really gone down.  There are alot of campers moving around, some going into storage for the season and others going to the deer shack.  I don't know where the summer has gone to. 

Trees have peaked a few days ago and are now loosing their leaves.  What a beautiful part of the country this is!  We are hoping for a couple nice weeks, weather wise yet,  for the month of October.  There is still lots of good fishing to be done.

The Cystic Fibrosis Tournament was this last Saturday and there were some really nice walleye brought in off of Cass Lake.  Minnows are the bait of choice.

Northern seem to be a little slow, but we have quite a few guys going out and using the heavy northern suckers.

We woke up to fall type weather.  Rainy and cool, temp in the 50's.  Fishing has been okay.  Would be better if we could get a few days of stable weather.  Sounds like after this cool front passes, we should have a pretty good rest of the week.

We are still seeing alot of crawlers going out the door and those rapalas and shad raps are definitely the way to go towards evening.  For the evening bite, you want to work 5 to 6 feet of water.  Try Cedar Bar and North Cedar Bar on Cass Lake during the day in about 12 to 18 feet.  Winnie has also been productive in that 8 to 10 foot range.

Fishing Report

March 10, 2014

Some of the snow is starting to melt and temps are warming up.  Fishing has been slow.  We are hearing the best results out on Pike Bay in about 9 to 13 feet.  Another week of warmer weather should help.  There is plenty of ice.  Auger extensions are hard to find.  We sold our last one we had at the store, yesterday.  If you get a chance, get out and enjoy fishing out on the ice, while we still can!

The Old Toad was in the hospital for a few days and is back out now.  His legs will be an ongoing issue for him.  So, as the doctor says, we will take one day at a time!  Sounds like good advise for just about anything. 

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

March  1, 2014

Not too much to report.  It has been cold and not too many guys have been going out fishing.  Sounds like a couple more days of really cold weather and then we are hoping to see some milder weather come in.   There is plenty of ice, so there will be some good perch fishing coming up as soon as temperatures warm up.   Guess we just have to hang in there.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

February 21, 2014

The Old Toad is 70 years old today!  I made him a chocolate cake and we may go out for supper tonight.  See how the roads are and how he feels.  By the end of the day, it's nice sometimes just to relax at home.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD TOAD1

Fishing has been good on Pike Bay and Cass Lake.  There are several guys going out on Leech too.  Fatheads are minnow of choice in about 13 to 15 feet of water.  Getting some nice perch and walleye.  Northern and walleye season ends this Sunday.

Walker has the big eel pout tournament this weekend. 

We got about 3 inches of snow yesterday and now the cold weather has returned.  This has been a really brutal winter.

Froggy is pulling off his spear houses now.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

February 12, 2014

Fishing continues to be doing well.  We are not seeing the amount of fishermen around though.  Guess with all the snow, cold and generally not the best of  winters; guys are staying home where it is nice and warm.

Sounds like things are on the change though.  This weekend should be great to get out on the ice and pick up some perch and walleye.  Walleye and  northern season will be over the end of the month, so get out while you can and enjoy this great northern Minnesota country.

See you out on the ice.

Good fishing!

Nice day to get out on the ice today.  We had quite a few guys in for bait.  Sounds like sunfish are biting on Winnie and perch out on Pike Bay and Cass Lake and then walleye in the evening.  All in all we are hearing some good reports.  Roads are plowed and everyone is getting around on the area lakes.

Next weekend, February 8th is the Cass Lake Fishing Challenge tournament.  Hope you will be able to join in on the fun and the great prizes.

Have a great weekend.

See you out on the ice!

Fishing Report

January 30, 2014

This has been a really brutal month, weather wise, and I for one am glad to see January come to an end!

Fishing has been doing okay on most area lakes.  It's just been tough, with the cold, wind and snow.  Roads have been plowed on most lakes now and everyone seems to be moving around okay.  Park Rapids has their fishing contest this weekend and the Cass Lake Fishing Challenge will be February 8th on Cass Lake.

Sounds like the weather this weekend will be pretty good, none of that 30 below stuff.  Hope you can get out and enjoy "hard water fishing".  Stop in and say "Hi" when your in the area.

Froggy is still renting out houses on Allen's Bay on Cass Lake.

See you out on the ice.

Good fishing!

We will keep you informed, best we can, as to what's happening.  The Old Toad let me stay home today and I did some baking and even took a short nap. 

Stay safe and warm everyone!

Fishing Report

January 12, 2014

We had good fishing reports yesterday.  Fish were biting on Plantanganet, Pike Bay and Cass Lake.  Froggy's fishermen did really well with the evening bite on Cass last night.  Warmer weather has definitely improved the fishing. 

Hope you will get a chance to get to the lake and do some fishing.

See you on the ice!

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

January 6, 2014

Cold, cold and more cold!  Temp this morning was 30 below zero and then we have a windchill besides.  Sounds like one more really cold day and then weather will start to moderate and sounds really nice for the coming weekend.

Store was really slow today, not many brave soles wanting to brave the cold and wind.  Most of the guys are driving out now.  Always use caution, ice is never really safe.

Hopefully we will have more to report on fishing in the next couple of days, when fishermen start going out again.

See you out on the ice!

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

January 4, 2014

I suppose you have heard the weather report.  It has been so cold and now sounds like it will be even colder the next couple of days.  Schools are going to be close state wide on Monday, because of the cold weather. 

Froggy has a group of guys up for this weekend and has been busy getting houses opened and filling up more propane for heat.  I will try to touch base with him tonight to see how the fishing has been today. 

The Old Toad and I are trying to keep things going at the store.  I have been spending time sitting by the stove, where it is nice and warm.  It reminds me of when we were kids and used to get dressed by the oil burner stove in the morning.

Guys are starting to drive out on some of the lakes, but CAUTION should be used!  There is still those slushy spots.  I would definitely check out the area before you attempt to drive out there.  It is just amazing how the snow insulates that ice, even with all this extreme cold weather we are having.

Everyone be safe and keep warm.  Those old snuggies really feel good in this Minnesota weather!

Good fishing!
