anybody gunna be out there april 21? how open was it for those who went this weekend? might consider going unless i find a spot more local to skip.

You aint findin jack shit local so get your ass out there.

it was ok. i wil put a video on this post of me skipping. a music video i threw together REALLY quick last night. you will see then. its open allthe way up to damm but there is enough mudd to turn around. not very deep but fun. and should be bigger this weekend!

keep us updated on the lake conditions. I will proabaly come up this weekend if there is still enough ice to get out there. when you leave mocassin point and go under the bridge is trout to left or right? cant remember. any snow left on the lake to get there?

was good riding and ice last friday and saturday, even a car thought it was good ridin!!

Lakes are all ice, and water, no lube at all. as of sunday. and when you get on lake at mocassin (if its not all water) you go left not right to the bridge. go straight/left. follow tracks. hopefully there's ice left this weekend! should be nice hopfully!

Here is trout river entrance on lake vermillion as of Sunday April 15th 2007. Bit muddy on the other side but over all it was great. Not too deep though and some dead heads in the water.

anyone going this weekend? I might be going if there will be some ppl up there.. How much ice is left?

Can anyone help with directions from Duluth? Thanks Shawn

i wouldnt go. just checked out the lake and not looking good. way open in pike bay. by fortune bay, its open a good 6-7 feet and i threw a rock out there and it broke right through the ice. its dark dark black and mushy


talked with one of the guys at fortune bay and said about 6-10" left but alot of soft spots out there. not safe at all...

If any one wants to skip we are going to be at devils track lake north of Grand Marais this saturday. At least 300 ft of open water the Ice still looks safe.
