Just checked on Wayne,Darrin and Dan they were doing well . Found the same spot my sleeper was last night. They saw Pete and had him show them where sleeper was last night they have 25 on the ice with some that look small but they all look small to me unless there 14 inches. Had know problem driving out there in my 4x4 a little standing water but still plenty of ice at this time. Bring your water proff boots,most areas have some water from the snow melt and the ice is slippery. The first 1/2 mile is a litttle wash board and bumpy in my truck, maybe I need new shocks,all though it is a stiff suspention.The landing is a muddy befor you hit the lake but at this time also not a problem. Was able to drag house through it when I took it off the lake today. The key is to go slow on the lake and take your time. Do not know how other acesses are at this time as only been fishing out of Hillmens this year. Pete and Velmer were out about 4 miles in the spot I started out this season and getting some fish. If you can't catch fish this week with the full moon better take up a new sport. Even my brother in-law Dan the Spa Man could catch these fish,landing them might be tough. COOKIE

Hey gene, sorry to hear about your bad luck but there is no reason to run the lake down just because you cant catchem. If you read the archives you will see there are plenty of fish being caught. That is unless you think they are all telling fish stories!!!!!!! Better luck on the other lake you fish. More for us thanks!!

We rented a sleeper for this weekend but they (westwind) said they had to pull it off today. Would it still be worth it to stay on shore and take our portables out or will we be knee deep in water?

Also, could we still get out with 4x4 trucks?

Guys and gals in sleeper just left with there limits, only they thought it was 10 a piece so going home with 40 fish. Put the house in a good spot, to bad its coming off the lake today, oh well theres always next year. They loved the house and the fish was a nice bonus. I would think if you go 100 yards NE. from there the fish will be there tomorrow. They dropped there lines in at 6am and caught 12 fish in a matter of minutes, they were biting when they packed up but thought they had there limit, oh well thats good for us as that means there is some fish left for the next guy.

Took Dan ,Dave and Wayne out yesterday and hammered them. We fished on the ice and searched for them. We were about 3.4 miles out .they seem to be moving in a north east direction. The 2 couples in the sleeper house was doing well.Will be removing it off the lake today. Moved the house yesterday and it went well, the key is taking your time.Left the floor jack where the house was figuring I would go grab it after I got the house moved, only problem was needed the jack to unhook the house Duh? Josh and Lance just pulled out with 28 fish so they did real well, good guys and they tip well. Told Dan,Dave and Wayne where to go for 2 days ,would not listen so went out with them and held there hands. What a riot. Dan was moving his portable saturday and stepped in his 10 inch hole shook his boot off and steped in the next 10 inch hole Hilarious. Curt Ryan and Josh moved from the area I suggested and only got 5. We were fishing in some of the holes they punched. Oh well maybe next time. They did take home 20 some fish for 2 days. The ice road is a little bumpy but in good shape over all, still over 40 inches of ice. Gotta go, no one staying here for the next couple days so will be catching up on a little maitance. COOKIE

Fished URL on wed night got 6 5 miles out of hillimans. Fished friday and got 2, 4 miles out of hillmans. Fished saturday and got none just small perch. Was 10 miles out on sat. Some firends limited in 20 min. 5 miles out on sat. Sounds like the spot was out of Hudac's 5 miles. Heard several good reports. Mostly just enjoyed the great weather. Ice was over 45 in. thick. The pressure ridge out of Hillmans was pretty tall on fri and they kept moving the bridge. Use it!!! Someone found out the hard way. Looking to head up again this weekend time to get in touch with Cookie. Hope it cools down the ice will get bad fast if not. Picked up a lot of trash. People aren't listening. Good luck!

We fished Upper Red Lake on last Saturday night. We had a great night. However, the sportsmanship demonstrated by some fisher-persons was less than admirable. I am speaking of parties who move into an occupied area and setup less than 50 feet from a group with an icehouse portables in place. Take a look around, nobody enjoys combat fishing conditions.

Cookie, we finally nailed them, what a weekend! A couple buckets full of crappies and 60 degree t-shirt weather, We rented a sleeper (which turned out to be a tin garden shed with leaky roof) from Hillmans Friday night, caught 3 crappies 8 miles out. Got tired of garden shed and moved towards shore about 3.5 miles out of Hillmans and set up our portables in an area with nobody around us for 300 yards. Bingo! Couldn't keep the perch & walleyes off the hook all day long, then at 5:00pm we had the first of 28 huge crappies. However we should have followed the caravan off the lake at 9:00pm but stayed till 10:30pm and had to deal with a very intense fog limiting visibility to 50ft. and flooded ice. Once we located the new location of the bridge and got across you couldn't see where the road was due to water and fog, finally made it to shore but with white knuckles. All in all, it was a great trip! Key to our success was being away from all the large groups and spread out. Good luck to all and be careful up there.

Hey Cookie, Thanks so much for your tips and hospitality. We had a great day out on the ice with the two little kids. We only managed to get 7 but really weren't there all that long. We had to drive back to the cities. Like I said, this will be my last trip untill the ice is gone. I might try to hit the lake for the day before walleye opener on the way to LOW. For all the people reading these fishing reports, I'd like to add that Cookie is a really great guy. I've been to URL 3 times this year, the two times I ran into Cookie, he has helped find fish and gives me some pointers. Not to mention the fact that his theories about where the fish would be coming from and when they would bite were accurate. There are very few people in this world that will make a stranger feel as welcome as Cookie. A real class act. See ya next time.

jerry my email is cookie16@paulbunyan.com Mitch can you email me if you get a chance as we are looking for a spot for my sweetheart Kellie to get that 16 inch crappie. The weather was unreal this weekend I,m sure more then a few people got some sunburns.Kellie hurt her Knee this weekend and was not able to enjoy the lake or the weather. Most of the guys did real well this weekend,Crazy Bill was up with his 2 boys Brandon and Dillon, they were out of Hudec,s 5.7 miles and to the left Bill said they got on to a school of fish and started chasing them towards shore They would pop 4 holes and run ahead as the other 4 would drop there lines for a few minutes, they would nab a couple then run to the next holes Dillon said he caught 32 fish they gave some to other guys that wern,t doing to well. Bill said they chased them 150 yards and it was crazy, did anyone see this spectecal? That crazy Bill just goes nuts for these crappies and always looks for the crappies he will not stop untell he finds them. My house did not do that well again but many fish caught around house,they seem to being going north east again and I need to cut them off before they turn . Kinda hard chasing them like Bill with a 5,000lb fish house? Chris and Jim got there limits in a matter of minutes out of Hudec,s then broke a spindle on there ultra shack coming in. The coney king and his son Nick and friend took home all there fish and moved around alot. The Greek got all his fish but gave them to the guys in my house saturday night as they only got 2 all he does is give give give couldn,t ask for a better friend. Darrin ,Galin and Randy caught all there fish friday night and fished for fun saturday, nice guys and always willing to help others. There is some water along shore but ice seems like it is in good shape just need the shore line to stay together. Still plenty of ice but alot of snow melting might have to pull house off tuesday will have to keep an eye on the weather. The sweethearts birthday tomorrow Happy day before your birthday .

I went up this weekend for the first time went pass the turn and ended up in Lake Of The Woods picked up some Walleyes and cook them on the lake for our morning meal,4 feet of Ice there.Now the Best went Back to Red Lake, "Our original plan" I went out five miles turn left at the split and about 500 yard. For the first couple hours was nothing but little Purch. There was couple that set up their shad about 10 feet from me and within an hour got their limit and left. I continue to catches purch and baby walleye. A gentalman by the name of Bill and his friend was catching good size of crapies. I could not stand the Purch anymore, I asked Bill for the secret. After the tips form Bill, I was catching Crapies every time I put in the minnow, sometime two to three crapies with the same minnow. Within two hour I had my limit and some. I have to drag my my friend from his hole because he was still pulled in crapies. The trip was worth it. I am thinking of going again this weekend, if I could still put my Ford-350 on the lake.

Cookie!!!!!!! Wow. That's about all I can say.. I took some of your advise and then moved only twice. Friday Night was ok 3 crappies and 2 walleye's. Then I went out along the pressure break on Saturday and Killed them. I've not caught some many nice crappies in the past 15 years. I hit a small hole and my friend fished about 200 yards north of the pressure break and I was about 150yards off the main road. But I limited out and tossed about 10 back. The best bite was around 7:00am until 8:30am and then again at 6:15pm-11:00pm I was in crappie heaven. My largest was 2-1/4 pounds at 16-1/2" Mounting that and his cousin at 1-3/4 pouns 15". but after those two I was in the 13"-14" range. Oh I got 1 nice walleye around 3-pounds. I'm planning another trip thier the first week-end of April. Hopefully the ice around the edges will be nice. Here on Minnetonka the edges are going fast and if the weather stay's we are done here..

Oh who saw the truck go in? What a stupid jerk to think he could jump the pressure break. Warning if you valve your toys be alittle smarter.. Wow I couldn't beleive someone would have even tried that stunt.

Later cookie and thanks for the info. I owe you. the prime rib was great. You'll have to e-mail me back so I can repay you for the info and bring another friend down to stay in your houses. Let me know

Cookie: We ended up catching 5 crappies, the crappie Gods just weren't with us tonight. It was probably the nicest day I have ever spent outside fishing in the winter!! It was gorgous! It was also nice driving through all that water to wash off the bottom side of my pickup. It was good to get all that salt off!! What was the deal with that pickup putting its front end in the lake at the ice heave? I had a family friend (Chuck) and his son(Adam) along for their first trip up there to fish. Even though the fishing wasn't good it was just great being outside and enjoying the weather and each others company. I don't think I will be coming up any more this year because of the ice conditions. Harry

MItch, the bite was a little slow in are area last night,there is a pressure ridge on the lake, try and stay away from that.The schools seem to be spresd out more this year so if you can find a area that no one has fished you could hit the mother load. In between West winds road and Hillmens road is unchartered water/ice. You just need to take your time and watch where your driving. We have been catching crappies in 11.4" of water on a hard bottom? We have not hit the mother load but have had some action. Curt and Ryan got 11 last night, Bruse and Cheryl only got 1 in my house last night, hope they did a little better on the morning bite. Will be checking them later. Randy,Wade and Jim got 5 on the morning bite yesterday. COOKIE

looking to rent my fish house the 18th through the 21rst of March. Other wise will have to take it off the lake or sleep in it myself. Cusin Pete may have a couple opening also? Going out to check on all the guys right now ,maybe the wife and I will also wet a line with some of them. Kellie is still after that 16 inch crappie and I told her she has to put in her time to get it, so I'm roped into fishing?hehe. COOKIE

What about the weather report? Is the sudden warm up going to be a problem for this week end?

Cookie, Will be in a sleeper out of Hillman's Friday night into Saturday. If you're in the area and see a Hillman house with a black Chevy Silverado w/graphics parked next to it, stop in and say hi. Will have plenty of venison saugage to sample. Good luck to all this weekend, looks like the weather will be perfect for getting those crappies in the mood.

Talked to Bruce and his wife they ended up gatting 16 with her catching 12 to Bruce's 4. They will be using my house tonight as they stayed in the cabin last night. Randy his brother Tom and Wade also got 16 so not to bad all but 1 being over 13 inches. Talked to Buddy a few limits way out but do not know the exact location. Drove way out today. To bad you Can't go South of Hillmen's road as there is a vast area out there that has not been fished all year. Cusin is coming today maybe can talk him into finding a route out there and giving it a shot. Well got to go and prep fish house for Bruce and his wife . Fill the candy dish,vacum,wipe everthing down, and drop off the daily paper. COOKIE
