Ice Fishing Reports for Minnesota Fishing-Archive
Name: SLAYER Mille_LacsWell I was up on the pond for my last time for WALLEYES this year and the fishing ok! It was windy friday and saturday. Moved off of the 5 mile gravel on friday. Moved house in 14 feet by Hennepin Island and no luck for the mighty walleye. On saturday morning moved house to 22 foot humps I have marked on Hawkbill reef. Fishing was ok there we caught 17 keeper perch including one nice 1 3/4 pounder. Also caught 5 walleyes 14 1/2",2-16", 23", 27 1/2". Overall it was the best weekend of fishing on the pond this year. Guess I should have moved around earlier in the year. I will be leaven for LOW on 2/14/03 to hopefully catch my wall mounter for the year being it didn't happen on Millacs this year. I will let ya all know how fishing was on LOW in 2 weeks.GOOD LUCK FISHIN'.

Name: sue Lake_Superiorcan anyone give me info on the st louis riverway? Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeJust came off the lake, another slow bite but enjoyed a nice steak dinner with the wife,the greek and his gal kathy on the ice.Why does food taste so good when your out there relaxing? The guys in the sleeper are not doing to well, will have to move it.Norm caught 5 in the foam house,we caught 6 total but I did get a 14 1/2 incher. What a beauty on my electric jig stick with a waxy. Did not check on any of the other guys as it is brutal out there tonight.The wind has calmed down but the temps are dropping.Telly and Todd decided to move at 2pm as Brian and his group were doing well.Sounded like Tim was doing well in that area also. Alot of shacks in that area why are they doing so well? I do see a pattern out there but will keep that to myself. Will be talking to all the guys tomorrow after church so will try and give some totals. COOKIE Name: Son of David Upper_Red_LakeWould someone please call the waskish WAAAAAAHmbulance! Name: Harry Upper_Red_LakeCookie: I enjoy your updates and hope you don't quit doing them because of Joel. Joel needs to get a life...My son and I hope to get up there next weekend. My son has never caught any crappies that size. Since he has graduated out of highschool and out of hockey, he now has some time for other things! (fishing) Harry Name: Shellychick Upper_Red_LakeCook, please keep the reports going as i am thinking of comming to URL.I Enjoy reading your reports on a daily basis. Name: Jim Byars Lake_WinnibigoshishThe fishing was a little difficult last weekend. We came up Thursday and cold weather moved in shortly before that. From what the other guys at the resort said this turned the fish off. Despite this fact we found enough fish to keep us happy. Even had a couple fish frys! We found our fish in 15' of water off Sunset Point Resort, but had to move around a lot. On another note, I would like to thank Ross Moore for his earlier report on this site. We were unaware that Don was back in business at Rapids Tackle in Grand Rapids. After reading his report I remembered that Don used to post ads with coupons in the WI Outdoor News and sure enough he was doing it again. Our group was able to save some cash on our bait because of this. I would like to pass on the same info that Ross did. Don is located at the edge of town on HWY 2. Give him a call for the latest fish report, 218-326-9838. P.S. Ross you gave the wrong phone number. I tried calling and got the wrong number. This is the one that Don gave me. Name: wildwing Upper_Red_LakeI have to agree with the guy who made the comment about who ever is bashing "Cookie", sounds like they are getting a little greedy. I also agree with the noise factor comment, I don't think an auger makes enough noise to scare any fish away, but I also know how people get possesive over a spot that is producing fish, and I wouldn't nessecarily want someone moving in just as they started to bite. I wrote to this complainer thismorning and said I think there are enough fish for everyone, and I hope no one gets in a fight over a crappie......Peace.... Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeThe Greek has 7 fish and missed 4. Telly and todd have 5 fish and were marking them last night but would not take.They think tonight will be better.I fished 1 hour last night and never marked a fish. Brad and his buddies got 5 and want me to move house ZOIKS. Kevin is bringing his buddys today and will be trying southwest of us. Brian and Don are in a different area and caught crappies from noon untell dark then they shut down? Not sure how many they have? COOKIE Name: Tony Lake_of_the_WoodsFished out by Gull Rock. Caught about 25 walleyes and a few sauger. They were hitting about everything were threw at them. Fished in 28-30 feet with chubs. Name: Tony Lake_of_the_WoodsWas up to LOW on 2/07. Fished at Gull Rock in 30 feet. Caught 22 walleyes and three sauger. The longest one was 11 inches. The were hitting everything we threw at them. Name: Church Upper_Red_LakeCookie, thanks for all the updates. I make sure to check this site every morning before I start teaching. Too bad their are babies out there (won't mention any names, but I think you know who I am talking about) that don't understand how many people you help draw into the area. My dad, brother-in-law, and myself will be up to do some fishing Feb. 22 & 23. Hopefully the fish will be biting. Keep the postings coming. Most of us really enjoy them. Name: Doug Upper_Red_LakeHey Cookie. Your really getting bashed by the local boys are't you. This Joel guy obviously is not much of a business man is he. We make three to four trips up there a year, usually two pickups with three guys in each. Between the two pickups we probably spend a minimum of $200 in your little towns of Kellior and Waskish. As far as I can see these crappies have been a savior to your area. I don't how many vehicles are out there on a Sat. nite, but I bet it is in the thousands. Have you ever seen that kind of traffic when the lake was full of walleyes? I will tell you one thing, I am 50 yrs. old and I have never been to red lake to fish walleyes. From what I see Cookie, those resorts should be damn happy that there is a guy like you aroud, you have brought them thousands of dollars in business. As for Joel and his cronies, they just need to grow up. Sounds like they are pretty greedy, they want all the crappies to themselves. Good job Cookie. Name: cookie Upper_Red_Lakekelly,I do not feel the noise bother the crappies, crappies feed on zooplanktin if there is a abundance of this food they will be there. You seem to know alot about the crappies but I'am not following you around I have no idea where you will be moving your houses to. There is plentey of room for all of us ,if my friends do good in an area I would gladly share that info as I can only keep 15 fish for myself at one time.I'm not trying to be a smart ass I respect the hard work you put in,I only want to help people catch these beautiful fish COOKIE Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeKelly ,your right I'am at a disadvantage with out a plow.So I have to put my house close to the plowed roads,But I'm getting tired of these false statements.At no time have I spyied on you.The only time I've been to one of your shacks was when them guys were stuck and ask me if I could find them some help . I went to Mark first but he could not help because Don was not around so I saw you and came over. Name: cookie Upper_Red_Lakekelly p getting tiried of these false statements,at no time have I spied on you. Your right I am at a disadvantage with out a plow so I have to stay close to the plowed roads. I don't even no which houses are yours except the three to the east of me. Do you feel Im to close to you? I came up to you last week and stated my friends were doing real well over there ,I was not spying on you I was pointing out an area they were catching fish just trying to be a nice guy,I'm sorry if you feel I'm spying on you> I did stop at one of your shacks when you were there because them guys were stuck and they ask me if I could find somone to help them. I first ask Mark but Don was not around so I saw you and thought you could help them again I'm sorry for being a nice guy. Name: kelly-p Upper_Red_Lake<personal attack is snipped> Name: red eye Upper_Red_LakeHey Cookie I bet i know why you can't get your email through to Joel.He probably cacelled his subscricption to his internet provider,on account of all the emails from people telling him what they think...Anaway fish on. good luck to everyone.. Name: red eye Mille_LacsThis message is for joe from hastings,,Stayed at Karpens last weekend(1/31, 2/1) in there rental, I don't believe that they try to move there houses around, and try to get on fish.I went from house to house, all were in 23 ft. of water and all were on sand.In the southeast part of the lake i know there is alot of rock...Might have been better if there weren't as many kids out partying.Because some of us do like to fish...The houses at Karpens were ok,bunks, stove,table&chairs...Sorry I might have to try somewhere else next time.. Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakeThe greek got here with his new fish house 8 by 20 sweet. Got report from Kevin the reason he was gone last night when I went out there is he caught his 15 crappies. He was 100 yards from other guys that did not do so well. Maybe I will move my house to that spot in the future. There was no one fishing that spot but him? No one fishing for pike? Will give complete update tomorrow. PS.Met Dave and Carol nice people they were having dinner at the westwind.

House was average, but the service was great. Nice folks to deal with. The bite never happened. Hardley saw any one else out in that area. We stayed at Eddy's. Got a coupon from the internet, it was only $25 for the night. The hot tub felt good after a day in the shack. Name: Buck Upper_Red_LakeI can vouch for Cookie. I talked with him last Friday by telephone and he is just simply having a great time fishing and helping others catch fish. He takes no blame if someone gets skunked and no credit if someone does well. A few more "Cookies" in our great MN Outdoors is what we need. Cookie, I emailed you a message about not using your house on Feb. 9th as we will be going out of Roger's Campground by Kelliher. Will let you know how we did. Name: Rob Mattingley Maple_LakeQuestion, Has anyone had good luck catching walleye on Maple, this summer my wife and I had really good luck catching 2 to 3 pounders. However I have yet to pull one through the ice yet?
Name: reptron Upper_Red_LakeExcellent forum! Cookie, we should all be like you and provide insight to those looking to try their luck on URL.
