Hey Guys, Bill here.....my partner's mom is in the hospital and he is not going to be able to make it. He said I might be able to use his boat. So I am looking for either a partner to fish in his boat or someone with a boat that will allow me to go with them. or if someone is already registered and does not have a partner, I would love to join them. let me know. You can email me at [email protected]

We will blasted off when light conditions are good. This Morning we took off at 6:30 no problem but we will just play it by sight. Everyone needs to be there before 6:30 for the pre-event meeting. smile.gif

Could someone tell me the closest highway to the sylvia landing. Or what the quickest way to get there from Litchfield would be. Thankyou,

Hey Central How did you do this morning?

If your coming from litchfield, the best way to get to the landing, is to take HWY 12 to cokato, and then go north at the stop light. When you are going north, i think its CR 3, but i might be wrong. There will be a caseys on the right corner, you have to go north on that road by the light. You will come up to french lake, which has a gas station on the right side by the stop sign. Keep going north till you get to the first tar road. Take a left. Then you have to take a Left again within a mile or two on the tar road. You will be going up and down hills, Then you are going to have to take a left right before the tar turns gravel. Keep going straight and the landing will be on the right side.

Please make sure that you are there by 6:15. We will have a meeting before we take off just to talk about everything.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me or drop a line here.

Its going to be a great day on the water. Cya there.

We had some good luck in the morning and it got better as the day went on. Not a lot of fish but some good sized ones. I think we had eleven pounds for the 6 hours of fishing. I lost one key fish mad.gif

We went out there this morning. We got very lost on our way there, not really lost, I new where I was I just could not find the landing. Doesnt that county believe in having a sign that says boat access this way, or something. All I saw were signs that said, no access this way, get out of here. By the time we found the landing it was nice. Caught a few fish, found a few spots and thats all a guy can ask for.

it is not somethign that they strive to have alot of people come to the lake becuase it is such a busy lake during the weekends in the summer.

Its a awesome area thow.

OK, Hester has me worried now, I have never fished that lake before and won't be able to until the day of the tourney, so if anyone can give me detailed directions on where the landing is that would be a good thing. I'll be coming from Hwy.55

The lakes used to be called twin and sylvia. Now the Dnr has renamed them to east and west sylvia (Don't ask me why ?). The landing is on the southwest side of west sylvia. (Formerly known as Twin)

Here is a good map of the area. Heading west on 55 from Annandale, turn left (south) on county road 3. Take the next right on to 80th st. Turn left onto Quinn Ave. Access is a couple mile south on left.

Bassnspear gave good directions now that I look at them again. Going north from cokato hwy 3, go past the french lake 4 way stop sign and take your first left tar road.

Next, take your first tar left hwy/rd 55(the road I missed completly) its by some new houses. Then take you next tar right. keep going a ways and you run into the landing.

I would also get someones cell #( maybee bassnspear) in case you have a hard time in the early morning darkness.

It would be a shame to miss out on it due to directions.

Bass-n-Spear, Starting at 6:30 theres a good chance somebody could pull in a nice pike or Walleye, depending on where they start out.

We are not interested in the pike pot. If there is a side pot, that's fine but our vote is no pike pot in the "main" event. C&E

We are ither going to do it as a group for this event, or we are not going to do it at all.

We will talk about it at the landing. Lets not discuss it here please.

Thanks

Sluggomaster,

I have spent the last couple hours thinking how I would respond to your reply. Here is my reply. I understand the term "Bass Event" and I understand the rules of the fishing event that were sent to me. No Changes in the event were ever sent to us. Sounds to me like a small group got together made some changes in the rules, but decided not to tell any else. Maybe I should just send you a check for the event and stay home.

The mistake was made by myself.

Never took the pike rule out when i started to send out the event information. I was using the same sheet that i used for a different gathering. So it is my fault that i sent out the wrong information.

We will discuss this at the event.

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣
