Joe Morgan

I made the mistake of watching the game in Hi-Def and listening to Joe Morgan. Was it just me and because the Twins lost that he just grates on how everything the Twins did was wrong? Two well place hits by Thomas did the Twins in today. Tip my hat to Thomas the man can swing a bat. But gee if you are going to bad mouth the Twins at least get the players names right (Jason)Will watch tomorrow but listen to the Twins radio announcers, Would rather listen to some home calling then a couple of announcers who seem that they are above calling an American league game. For awhile there I thought it was Windy doing the color!

I got sick of him by the third inning and muted the tv and listened to the Twins radio crew. In the third inning Morgan was still beating to death the first inning when Punto struck out on a high pitch and Castillo being thrown out trying to steal second. He said the Twins were done then and would never get to Zito. Worst part is, he was right.

Morgan is more knowledgeable than most announcers, and was a smart player. But oh man can he beat a point into the ground. Who wants to hear their team made a bad decision 37 times over?

He's a dink. I remember in 2002 when we played the A's and had that terrible first couple of innings, but still won.

He about had to swallow his tongue.

I'd much rather to listen to Joe Morgan than Tim McCarver and Joe Buck. Man, I still grind my teeth over some of the comments that McCarver made during the '87 series. Must have been hard for him to watch his Birds loose in 7.

He kind of reminds me of Joe Theisman. Was a good player but a total dork with the microphone.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      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.

      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!
