With the lake of ice I went out in Waukan Bay and set up on a reef probably shallower then everyone else. 13.5fow. There were a lot of decent perch around. Caught them on jigs with a fathead minnow. Then I set up a dead stick with 8lb test line. A plain hook and a shiner. Using a okuma bait feeder reel and a circle tackle dead meat rod.

Plenty of clear ice for ATVs, one skid house was out on the lake. We saw a lot more activity from walleye and northerns on reaction baits in the hour around sundown. Caught a nice 26" walleye at about 5:15pm and a 24" pike about 15 mins prior.

Went out of Garrison for some prime time walleyes. Set up the portable shack in 15 feet on the edge of the sand. Drilled out a bunch of holes between 11 and 16 feet. The deeper holes were the only producers this day. Bouncing bottom to draw them in then a slow down jig to get them to commit. Set line never got touched.

Water was murky from ice making so we drew them in with rattling raps and drop shots. Aggressive bite at ~9’ and snagged every one that came. Many throw backs as you can only keep one over 17”. Had a blast on the morning bite and left with limits of walleye (4/ea) and some 15” crappie by noon. We heard night bite suffered as the weekend warriors continued to arrive.

Walleyes and Saugers are still biting below the dam. The dam was shut down so the current was slow. At sunrise Saugers were found in 14-16 feet below the dam and then out to 20-23 feet. Fishing slowed down after 9:00 but would still bite on the jig and fathead.

I was catching a lot of crappies in 35 feet of water. I was fortunate enough for this GIANT 28 inch walleye to bite. It was an absolute blast spending the weekend up in Osakis. I 10/10 recommend!

First time getting out to Red Lake late ice. Had a tun of fun and caught my limit fairly quickly. Caught my fish in around 14ft of water. There was about 25in of ice when I went out. Fish were still very aggressive which surprised me as it is late ice. Caught my fish on a Clam Leech Flutter Spoon and a Clam Tikka Minnow(3/16oz). Work the baits aggressively as that what they seemed to like. I also caught a 22in walleye on an I Fish Pro which was cool cause you don't catch a lot of walleye 20+ inches on Red Lake.

This was my first ever trip out on Red Lake. I got out there early ice. There Around 7-8 inches of ice. I will encourage you to go during the week.(I went on a Monday). As there is significantly less people out on the lake during the week. I caught my limit in about 5 hours. Was a ton of fun, and the fish were super aggressive. I caught my fish in around 8.5 ft of water. Though depending on the day fish will be in different depth zones, so don't be afraid to change depth. I caught fish on a clam leech flutter spoon(1/8oz) and a Clam Tikka Minnow(3/16oz). Work the baits aggressively and grab the brightest color you can find.
