Mid-September Update from Pelican Lake
on Bass Fishing, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Northern Lights NewsI love Septembers in northern Minnesota. Usually the temps cool down(not so much this year), the leaves start to change colors, the northern lights are seen more frequently, the fishing is great, most of the bugs are gone and it is much quieter. Plus, if you are a resort owner you only work 12 hour […]
Aurora season arrived with a bang this year. Normally we like to tell people that while it is possible to see the northern lights anytime of the year, we don’t see them as much during June and July. This is due to long daylight hours. By mid August it is getting dark earlier and is […]
May 11 was the fishing opener for Minnesota this year and we had 3 cabins come in to fish. One cabin was a group of guys who have been coming to Pelican Lake for decades, one cabin was a couple who have never fished Pelican Lake and the third was a couple who usually come […]
This past weekend we had a MAJOR solar storm that produced an amazing show of northern lights. We could see greens, pinks and reds with the naked eye. We had excellent weather and no clouds. One of the coolest things was that you could see the sky moving before it was totally dark! I did […]
Normally I’m an avid bass fisherman who occasionally masquerades as a walleye fisherman. But this past week I put my walleye and bass interests on the shelf for a week and went is search of Crappie. Usually in the fall the crappie bite is very good, but this year it didn’t seem to be that […]
For months we’ve been waiting for September to bring us darker skies and higher chances of visable solar activity. And as we anticipated September has been good so far. Last night we got our storm. It was a solar storm of epic proportions! During this year we’ve had several good displays of the aurora and […]
I love late summer fishing for bass. My favorite type of fresh water fishing is top water bass fishing. When the water is consistently above 70 degrees I know I can catch bass every night when the sun gets low. This year is no exception. I’ve had a few opportunities lately to get out in […]
The best places to see the Northern Lights are typically in the auroral zone, which covers Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Russia. However, those aren’t the only places to glimpse these celestial ribbons of light. Where in America Can You See the Northern Lights? You don’t have to travel overseas to […]
Late June and early July have been very good for bass fishing along with strong results for pike fishing. Walleye fishing and crappie have really slowed down. Pike have been extra aggressive particularly for spoons and spinner baits. White has been the hot color for pike. Bass fishing has been best with tube jigs, senkos, […]
People will travel for days and thousands of miles to view the awe-inspiring light show known as the northern lights. Those hoping to witness this magical experience in person often visit Canada, Alaska, or Scandinavia to catch a glimpse of these ethereal multi-colored hues in the sky. Knowing when you can see the northern lights, […]
