A few weeks ago I took a guy to Banks lake in Washington, he hooked this Abu Garcia in 60 feet off a bottom bouncer.vanlogo011vx0.jpg

So I told him to toss some gear on it and catch an Eye, would make for a great story. Here it is!

Fishing the Miss last weekend, a guy that I know snagged this trophy. The pic didnt turn out too hot in the grass.

Its a wood saw from back in the early 1900's I would guess.

There are holes drilled on both ends where the wood handles were for a guy to stand on both sides to saw up trees.

Jim caught this thing using plastics in deeper water, and managed to get the hook right in one of the holes where the handle was screwed on at one time. What are the odds???

The craziest thing I have ever caught was my own hat, 2 weeks after it blew off my head while boating.

This spring I cought a drift sock fully outfitted with a harness. It came in open and took about 20 minutes to land. I thought I had a monster. It also came fully equipt with seven various crank baits that are in my tackel box now. I guess thoses guys should use better line.

One time ice fishing a buddy lost his keys down the hole so we got the aqua view out and drilled a couple more holes. It took about an hour but we managed to hook them with a jiggin spoon.

One time ice fishing a buddy dropped his keys down the hole and they landed on his hook, Other wise they would have been lost and we would have had to find a ride home.

My brother knocked my buck knife down the hole of my fish house in 38 ft of water. Of course he doesn't tell me. My uncle pulls up a knife out of my house 2 weeks later and I tell him it isn't mine, until I see my brother laughing.

The other day I caught a dead, half decayed goose. I guess it was more disgusting than weird though.

SO! Did throw it back or do the right thing, haul it to shore and throw it into the trash can? Them evasive species are really hard to get rid of. wink.gif

Did you, like me, get a good hookset into them? It ain't a good hookset unless the drag slips a little!

"Its a screamer!". Like the DNR tells us, don't throw the invasive species back into the water.

When my boys were young, we would fish Crappies from a low bridge. One of them dropped his rod in, so I went back the next day with a grappling hook to get it. Before I got his, I caught three others. One guy fishing there claimed one of them was his and his son had lost it....but he couldn't tell me what brand the rod or reel was. Fishing the current below a dam, one of my boys had a great battle that turned out to be four feet of concrete rerod. This summer, he caught two anchors on the river. My bro-in-law snagged up and when he got over the snag, looked down and saw a 12 foot jon boat. He dragged it to shore with his achor line and it was in great shape. He used it for several years and then gave it to one of his grandsons.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.
    • mbeyer
      what do they look like this spring?
    • SkunkedAgain
      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.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      👍. What was the water temp in Black Bay? Thanks....
    • Brianf.
      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      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.
