A lot of extra snow this year leaves more time to get things ready for the spring fishing opener

Posted by Terry "Ace" Sjoberg on Tuesday, March 12, 2013, In : Fishing 
Hello everybody,
It's been a while since my last entry. It has been a long difficult winter for me. I spent about two-and-a-half months with a serious kidney infection and I wasn't able to do much fishing this winter. As of a week or so ago, the doctor has finally given me a clean bill of health and I am getting ready for the up coming open water fishing season.

This spring looks a lot different than last year. I recall having my boat at the dock on the 17th of March last year. No chan...

Techniques for early season walleyes and pike through the ice on Lake Vermilion

Posted by Terry "Ace" Sjoberg on Friday, December 21, 2012, In : Ice Fishing 
Hello everybody!

The hard water season is in full swing here in the north country. Lake Vermilion has a good solid ice cover of about 8 to 9 inches in the Mckinley park area of Big Bay. There are still some areas with less ice, however the main bay in front of the park seems to be pretty even. Channel areas, neck downs and river and creek mouths may still have some thin ice, so proceed with caution if you are in those areas.

So far the Walleye action has been pretty good for many of the...

Believe it or not ice fishing season on Lake Vermilion is almost here

Hey everybody,

With the open water fishing season about to come to an end, I'm sure many of you are thinking about the hard water season.

Lake Vermilion typically has some fishable ice by late November, even as early as Thanksgiving many years. You won't see me out there on 3 or 4 inches of ice, but I know there are some of you that will be out that early.

Safety is the big issue early in the season. Always be prepared for the worst if you venture out early. I have a good friend that br...

It's been a great fall for fishing on Lake Vermilion

Posted by Terry "Ace" Sjoberg on Wednesday, October 24, 2012, In : Fishing Lake Vermilion 
Hello everybody!

The open water fishing season is winding down to just a couple of weeks of decent fall weather. I always get a little blue this time of the season even when I'm on the water every day. Just knowing that another fishing season is about over puts me into a little funk this time of the year.

My wife will usually try to avoid me when she can because after 40 years she can easily recognize the symptoms. I know there are still a couple good weeks yet and perhaps a little more...

Don't hide inside this winter, join an angler group and make a difference

Posted by Terry "Ace" Sjoberg on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, In : Fishing 
Hello everybody,
Fall is here and everybody seems to be busy hunting, fishing and enjoying the great outdoors. The trees are alive with the beautiful fall colors that the northland is famous for and for many folks, including me, this is their favorite time of the year. I'm no longer a hunter as I was when I was young. My old body just can't handle the long walks and all the other things that hunters have to do to be successful. Fishing on the other hand is much less of a strain on these old bo...
