Agate Bay Resort

PERCH PARTY AND DU’S FISHING FOR DUCKS CONTESTS THIS YEAR- RENTALS AVAILABLE
This the biggest contest weekend of the year. Hunters Point’s Perch Party and DU’s Fishing for Ducks are both on Saturday. They also are forecasting the nicest weather of the winter this weekend. Whenever we have had a little stable, warmer weather the perch have taken off. I expect a great weekend of fishing. Walleyes have also bit a little better the last two weekends and they also respond to better temps!
We have a few houses left for this weekend. We have a 4 hole and an 8 hole standard fish house left and a couple of Premier Ice Cabins and one Premier Ice Lodge left. They are all out in 28-32’ in the mud where the perch have been biting the best. We have caught perch up to 15” out there this year so I think a contest winner could come from Agate Bay.
This is our last weekend of the winter. We will have houses off by Sunday night and our access will be closed after that so this is your last chance to catch some jumbo perch at Agate Bay this winter!

Updated Road Map for this weekends Perch Party at Nitti's Hunters Point Resort. Our Roads will be connected so there is no need to leave the ice to travel between the events. Reminder that Saturday is also Pond Fest at MSA Flagship and Smokin' Guns will be playing on Saturday night as well.
Big Weekend to close out the Walleye Season 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lybacks Ice Fishing

 

Yesterday’s action was pretty good in shallow, especially for Perch.  Walleye activity was early at daylight and again at dusk, with overnight being pretty quiet for those out there.  Some of the bigger perch are starting to move shallower, from what I’ve seen. The deep mud areas in front of us have Perch there also, but so far, “Jumbos” are few and far between in those areas.

We have a few deluxe four-person rentals available yet for the weekend.  With the weather being nice and the last Walleye weekend, it will be worth a try.

Wheelhouses coming this weekend should call ahead and get on our weekend wheelhouse list. Seasonal wheelhouse customers that are not storing for the summer need to remove their house this weekend also. Those wanting to stay a couple extra weeks will need to contact the office and move it to the storage area designated.  Permanents will need to come up, and get their house ready to be pulled to shore and settle up their accounts.

I plan to remain open for Perch, Tulibee and Northern Pike thru March as long as customers make it worthwhile keeping the roads open.

Beachside Resort

 

Our access and all our roads (approximately 25 miles worth) are open. We have ice roads all the way out to 5 Mile Reef. We still have no bridges, or issues with our ice roads, and they are in great shape.
FISHING REPORT: Anglers continue to do well with the Perch and the Northern bite. Fire tiger, red and yellows, and wonderbread colors have been hot for Perch . Combine that with a rattle and you should be in good shape. Stop in at baitshop and we will show you the sizes and lures that have been working the best.
The Northern bite has been the best in the bay, and using a medium sucker with a Northland Quickstrike Rig has been working great. We have plenty in stock at our baitshop. The Walleye bite has continued to be tough, but the bigger ones have been most active in the shallows (8-12 FOW). Jigging them in and having a set line has still been a winning tactic. The barometer is dropping, and the weather is set to be exceptional throughout the weekend, so we are expecting good things this weekend!
WEEKEND FISHING CONTEST: We will be having a fishing contest this weekend and it's FREE with the purchase of a road pass. Chance to Win an Eskimo E40 Auger, Salmon Fishing trip on Lake Michigan, Eskimo Hub, Eskimo Pistol, Hoodys and other great prizes!

Castles Resort

We are seeing all sizes of perch, walleyes, and here at Castles Resort, Pike!! The majority of fish being caught are smaller and there are tons of them making for nonstop action! Fishing is good so come out!

The Mille Lacs Angler

 
 
Only 1 weekend left of Walleye season! After that, our access will continue to be open for Perch and Northern Pike fishing until March 16th, dependant on mother nature. Northern Pike spearing ends on February 23rd and Angling is open through March 31st.
The Perch fishing has still been best out in the deeper water. The more mobile you are, the better. They have been biting on variations of gold colored spoons with waxies or minnow heads.
Walleye have been tight lipped, with a lot of nice ones lurking by on camera. We are seeing bigger ones in the shallow areas. The deeper gravel has been producing mostly small ones with the big ones mixed in sporadically.
Northern Pike have been in the shallow water. They have been biting on larger suckers and seem to be a pretty light bite.
We are excited for another weekend on the ice, our office opens at 6:00 a.m. daily.

Ice Camp Outfitters

 
The big pond is heating up!
 
Hawthorne's Guide Service and crew have been out sticking some big ones, and they can't resist some Northland Fishing Tackle tungsten with a side course of minnow head!
