Burbot!!!
(Preview)
Just in case any of you folks like Burbot, I thought I would let you know that there appears to be quite a few in the bay already. Here are 3 of the 4 Burbot that Captain Jim McDonald gave me. Guess what we are having for dinner tomorrow night??? Also, Jim caught 4 eater walleye this afternoon too, but I'll le...

Slow for most, but not John !!!
(Preview)
My wife Theresa, my brother Kenneth, and myself hit the ice this afternoon and had pretty slow fishing where we were. None of us landed any keepers. Captain Jim McDonald, his brother John, and a couple friends of theirs were set up a little further south and had a little better action. Jim caught a nice...

12/30/09 Report
(Preview)
Kevin and I had the chance to get out this afternoon again for a couple of hours, however, we didn't get to fish where we wanted to because of some mechanical problems with the snowmobile. We got half way to our spot and the thing just quit on us. We got it running again and decided we better just sta...

Plenty of good ice...just use common sense!
(Preview)
Even though a snowmobiler went thru the ice (http://dailypress.net/page/content.detail/id/516660.html?nav=5003 ) , that does not mean there is not plenty of good safe ice. You just have to use some common sense!!! Stay away from the river mouths and anyplace with current. You will always fi...

Use Caution!!
(Preview)
On the way back from the movie theater tonight, it looked like the freighter that came into Gladstone had left the dock and was in the narrows between Saunder's Point and the Gladstone Yacht Harbor. Very high winds today so you never know what the ice will do once it has room to move due to the new channel o...

12/22 Report
(Preview)
A really smart guy by the name of Albert Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing day after day and expecting different results. I should have listened to him but instead I headed back out this morning to the same spot I fished last night hoping for better results. I really wanted to go...

Dec. 23rd Report...slow!!!
(Preview)
Well...Kevin and I went out yesterday afternoon for the last couple of hours to a spot that treated him pretty well last year. Don't the fish know they're supposed to stay in the same places? We didn't mark much all night, I think I might have had three keepers come in, and I landed one of them. I relea...

December 19th Report
(Preview)
Theresa and I got on the ice today for the first time this season. We walked out from the Vagabond and had our lines wet by 3:30 (didn't take tip-ups). We were marking fish right from the get-go. But the vast majority of them were small. I moved outside the shack for the last hour so we could try a couple d...

Any recent ice reports?
(Preview)
The satellite images from MODIS show open water on 12/15 but as of 12/15 it appears that the bay from the narrows north is locked in. Weather reports below temps right now. Any reports of safe ice off the east side off Vagabond? Thinking of checking it out maybe Saturday afternoon and wondering if I...

No ice yet...
(Preview)
The bay had froze over from Gladstone north, but the snowstorm we just had blew the ice back out. I have not seen the bay today, but we were 11 below this morning so I'm hoping it refroze. Anybody know if it did???

Bring it on!!!!!!!
(Preview)
I'm ready...bring on the ice! This Fall weather we've been having is ridiculous. Worst October (weather wise) that we've had in a long time. Can't wait to try the new size Ice Darters...they look awesome!

Ice Darter
(Preview)
Hey everyone, I'm looking at the color options available on the ice darters and wonder which colors are more effective for walleyes and if the perch are hot for them as well...any ideas? (notice the "icy" font color?)
