Hey Lawdog

OMG, the day of Nonsense posts on the DNR/ATV forum was specifically one of the days I was thinking of.

Remember my topic of "Have you hugged your bunny today?"

I was in tears with the buddies at work when I hit submit on that story.

The popemobile ATV, the 75 ft snorkel, thanks for bringing them up. Oh man what a day on an internet forum that was.

LMAO


I just wish I would have thought to print out all those crazy threads that day to save them for posteriety. I didn't get boo done at work that day, but honestly I don't remember another day when I've laughed so much...

Well I'm ashamed to admit this but I got blanked... twice in a row out on the river... I was so distraught after the second time it was either find a way to catch fish or do bodily harm... so I found this site.... then I found a bunch of ahhh.... fisherman grin.gif.. from the upper miss forum... and with no help at all from BLB grin.gif I started catching fish again... between this and the other million hours I spend reading about fishing I have become a completely different fisherman than I was 3 years ago!.... ohhh and my wife hates these sites blush.gifgrin.gif

At the time I was surfing walleye fishing websites and happened upon FM. It now holds down the number 1 position in my Favorites.

I found this site while browsing the Internet for fishing info. Then I happened to meet Rick, Dennis Steele (fishhead at the time), Jim W, Paul Waldowski (pwaldow at the time) and Tom Herman (gullguide at the time) at a sport show. Then it just took off from there smile.gif

Remember it like it was yesterday...

I was looking on a local site, and they had a "local fishing report" that linked to FM. I lurked for about a week before joining. Now, I always tell Hubby what the guys are saying in the NASCAR forum, as well as gleaning tips from the Bass forum. My almost 13 year old daughter likes to read stuff on here as well, so I appreciate the fact that I don't have to censor much. grin.gif

On memorable summer day I was looking for differient resorts and launches on Mile Lacs and came across the resort finder on this site. I started exploring and came across the fishing section. I lurked around for a month before the lure of the site mad me join.

One time, long ago, a very good friend of mine (Huskminn) used to rant and rave about this site. Then one fall he invited me to a get-together on Mille Lacs and fish a launch. I said I might show up on Friday night and fish the launch Saturday night depending on how grouse hunting was that day (it was the grouse opener). Anyway, I drive by the resort that infamous Friday night and see this big bon-fire. Well, I decide to pull in, not knowing anybody except Huskminn. Well, what a weekend! I thought I was on another planet with everybody calling each other by there handles and me not having one I felt out of place…. For like a minute. I don’t think most of those guys are still around this site anymore, but those guys were and you guys still are “good people”! Once I got back after that weekend I signed up and never looked back. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I did a Google search on "Long Rods and Honey Holes", and this link was the only one that the work filter would let me open up. grin.gifcool.gifgrin.gif

Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Many years ago (back in the late 90s),when I first gained access to the internet at work, I was a regular reader of a "walleye" website. As the years passed my fishing habits changed (I now spend 90% of my time fishing smallies on the Mississppi) so I started looking for a site that covered more than just "sandsharks and sandshark tournaments". tongue.gifgrin.gif And here I am. I'm not a frequent poster, but you'll see me on the Mississippi River North forum occassionally.

      Drove around some of Minnetonka today. Most backwaters have froze over and some dock areas that have turned off aeration have also. A few rigs out.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
