The bouy crasher/ hey thats my bouy guy.

This much less common subspecies of the bouy crasher acts exactly like the bouy crasher but when the bouy owner comes back to retreive said bouy this unbeleivably clueless species will actually tell the bouy owner that the bouy is his own sometimes even when confronted with the owners name written on the bouy.

I have been there! Had that happen to me last summer! mad.gif

OK so its late and I rarely have much to say here but to you guys that have no problem finding a fishing another anglers buoy marker and then say its public water are just un ethical. I commend you for admitting it though. Like was said a public rest room is public but do you share a stall when the are others available (even if they are not you wait), no you do not. There are plenty of stalls available (fishing spots) so why crowd another angler. I have many bouy stories and have seen all the species. When I am moved in on I will just move but its not right. I will never move in on someone else's spot or buoy marker. There is just tooooooo much water out there. I have seen many a post here that I disagree with but I keep my mouth shut. It is a public forum and with any topic there will be a verity of opinions but this topic is something I have to deal with on a regular basis and I don't understand why anglers have to hone in other anglers.

I have definetely done the dummy buoy - and it does work well. The last time I tried this was awhile back - but I put out the buoy in the afternnon - about 300 yards away from the spot I knew held fish. I grew up on a small lake and could monitor the action from the dock. Sure enough by early evening a number of boats had started to troll around my marker - but my spot was left untouched. I went to my spot - fished it for awhile and then when done - trolled slowly to my buoy - having to go right by 2 or 3 of the boats who were positioned about 10 feet away from the marker. I picked up my buoy and slowly trolled away - but as I picked up my buoy - I could tell the boats were wondering what the heck I was doing...because I wasnt out there at all near the buoy all night. grin.gif

Just because someone wants to fish the spot somebody else is on doesnt mean they cant find fish. I know a lake that has a very definite evening bite on a location. You are either fishing there the last hour of light or not going to catch fish. Many know about it. Just because someone is there does not mean I'm going back home or fishing somewhere useless. If there is room I fish. Common sense and respect go a long ways in all of these situations.

Couple of things

First off you forgot "Sheep poeple" these are the masses of poeple that follow fish house in the winter. If we take off with a rental for a new area in daylight it looks like sheep folowing us. We stop they stop, we go right they go right so on and so forth. On slow days I go sheep poeple trolling. I put my magnetic decals on and wear all my new sponsor stuff and drive really slow through the ice fishing crowds staring at my GPS while driving in a straight line sometime pulling a house sometimes not (depends if the sheeppoeple are agressive or not that day). Slowy I drive to some bad spot or dumb area and act like I am getting ready to set up, meanwhile guys are drilling holes and panicing to get as close as they can. Then the fun starts, about the time they are set up and fishing I give a couple of fake hook sets (remember I don't even have a hole drilled) then I throw the little portable in the truck and take of like rocket for where I really want to fish weaving and ducking like prize fighter on the way. Some pretty fustrated faces as I drive away and they just realized they've been had. Try sheeppoeple trolling sometime its a blast.

As for bouy hunters do what I do. Throw out five bouys over a two hundred yard area, that confuses the heck out of them. Just sit back and watch the bumper boat show. Good fun when the fishing is slow.

So remember bouy hunters next time you are on Red and circling bouys or following rentals is real or is it Jonny P killing time and you fell for it.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
