It's truly amazing how social media has transformed our lives. Seems like not too long ago there was no such thing as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or TikTok. Where did you go for fishing information, research, brotherhood and fellowship? You spent a lot of time at bait shops, reading magazines and newspapers, or you dialed up into a fishing discussion bulletin board on the world wide web. I'm a geek who preferred the electronic version so I spent A LOT of time online reading everything I could on web forums and discussion boards. I came to find a primary home here with Fishing Minnes

Winter Snowmobile Access
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
In years past, Jack and other owners of the Landing used to keep the boat launch plowed next door. The last owners of the Landing didn't do it. I've asked several times while frequenting the Landing this summer/fall, and it sounds like they do not plan to keep the lot open either. Are there any other public launches on the lake that are regularly or semi-regularly plowed for people to park sled trailers? -
Ice Reports
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
Yup, I started it. Seeing people post about water temps in the low 40s, and knowing that there will be a lot of cold temps this week....we may see the small bays freeze. I have a vested interest as I'd like to make it up next weekend, but have strong doubts that our small bay will be ice-free. Let's hear those reports as the lake begins to change. -
Duluth MN area 2020 fall plans?
evinrudespeed posted a topic in BWCA-Duluth-Gunflint Trail-North Shore Lake Superior Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
So the weather really tanked!! I was hoping to fish until November before winterizing the boat. Anyone been out...either reservoirs or up Hwy 53? Any idea of when landings start pulling docks...probably on DNR site huh? -
Heading up to V the first weekend in October. Aside from the casino and The Landing, where can you boat to for lunch?

Hard to believe

Headin over to Tower on Hwy 1 last night to do some fishin with the kids/grandkids. Came poppin over a little hill, and what's standing in the road. Three hen turkeys! They were in the same place, on the way home. Nuthin around there except trees, so doubt they are pets. Should have taken a pic, but we were in a hurry. I do have 5 witnesses. LOL By the by, ended up with a dozen eater walleyes, in 45 minutes. 13"s to 19"s, on slip bobbers, and tiny leech's. Threw back a bunch of smaller fish, had a great, but short evening of fishin. lol -

I'm looking to buy a Ski Doo Skandic snowmachine. Would prefer the 600 e-tec engine, but will consider any. 2010 or newer. PM with particulars. If it would help, I have a 2003 Ski Doo Tundra with the single cylinder engine, for trade, excellent condition. Thanks Jim -
Been a long time since I spent on a couple years on Big Fork River and then with kayaks. Can someone give me advice on what stretches if any I can use my V14 Tracker with 20 horse, though I can go with my trolling motor. Back injury prevents kayaking. Looks like above Big Fork and a couple areas below Big Falls might work if there is enough water. Thanks for any help. This is back up to 3 Canada trips that got cancelled. Mike

LakeMaster Vs Navionics Boating App
papadarv posted a topic in Fishing Minnesota - (Spring, Summer & Fall)
Fishing Ottertail this past weekend we used my sons boat with a Humminbird Helix 9 Si/Di - Follow the Contour GPS. I also put my Vex SonarPhone one side mount which links to the Boating app. I recorded a track on the boating app with the Humminbird following a 16 ft. contour. As you can see on the Boating App track with Sonar video, ls off a fair distance from the Bird depth track. The boating app is a great tool for planning, searching fishing areas and fair on GPS contours. Both Humminbird and Boating use the Glonass GPS system so no differance between long/lat location.

A fun day at the Minnesota river

I went on an adventure along the Minnesota river south shoreline, picking up trash and encountering some critters. -
Hey; Just reaching out to others who have or may have a greater knowledge of where to locate a good source for trapping crayfish in the Twin Cities Metro Area. I have been working the rivers and have found some good locations, but the population of people in those areas have created challenges. Mainly, not leaving things alone that don't belong to you. I had found a good resource for the invasive Rusty Crayfish and was doing well trapping those, but as the weather got nicer and more people were looking for places to fish along shore lines, my traps were being disturbed, and worse yet,

Nice little unit that I just removed from a used boat recently bought. Everything seems to look and operate perfectly. Includes graph with mounting bracket, battery cable (fused) and transducer with mount. Buy new elsewhere for $169 or here used for $50. Can ship if you cover the cost. Here is the mfg description: The Lowrance Elite-4x Fishfinder, which includes an 83/200 broadband transducer, transmits sonar to track the presence and movement of targets beneath your boat. When you use this device, you’ll know when you’re in the right spot. This innovative fishing aid l

Ottertail - Navionics - Lakemaster
papadarv posted a topic in Fishing Minnesota - (Spring, Summer & Fall)
Dr. gave the OK for a weekend fishing next Friday, heading to Ottertail. Using Sons Tracker with Helix 9 SlDl + follow the Lakemaster map contour. Will not only improve ability to find fish along with tracking a specific contour automatically. I’ve always wanted to do a detailed contour compare between Navionics and Lakemaster. I use the Navionics Boating app linked to the Vex SonarPhone on one of two tablets. I can record tracking, depth, speed and how well the track follows the Lakemaster contour. My second tablet I’ll record FishSmart Lakemaster tracking contour which is the exact same Lak -
Resort Advice
macgruber posted a topic in BWCA-Duluth-Gunflint Trail-North Shore Lake Superior Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
So my family and another are looking for a place to spend a week next August. They aren’t the camping type yet, so we’re looking for something with a roof over our collective heads. The place we’ve been going the past few years doesn’t allow dogs and we just got a springer puppy and we’re not leaving him behind again. The fishing was also not kid-friendly, meaning I worked hard for a week to catch 4 9” walleye, 2 12” pike, 1 6” smallie and 4 rock bass..... I was forced to leave and drive twenty minutes to pop into a different spot and catch a fish dinner. I’ve found plenty of vrbos -
Birch Lake Camping

Has anyone ever camped at any of the boat to sites? I’ve never even fished birch, let alone camped at any of those sites. Just looking for any reviews or recommendations. Is any boat launch better than another for overnight parking? -

So im looking at getting an ice house that i can also use for camping. However, i have some weight restrictions for towing. I would like the ice house to have plumbing (working flushable toilet) but yet still have a gvwr no more than 4500 lbs. Is this even possible. Can someone please point me in the right direction here?

Composting Toilets
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
I'm looking at rebuilding my outhouse and possibly giving the ladies an alternative to the fly-filled pit privy. As far as I'm concerned as a guy, dropping a deuce in the hole once a weekend is no big deal. For ladies it's a different story since they go several times a day. I'm not excited at the prices of composting toilets but am doing the research. Mostly I'm trying to figure out from all of you if any of them work well in our part of the world. I see the Sun-Mar, Nature's Head, Incinolet, Envirolet, and Biolet toilets available. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? -
What is the best time of year for brookies. I've tried spring but waters too cold, summer, bugs bad but fishing good. Never tried fall but I am think that might be the ticket. Usually use worms but sometimes spinner. Is there a special trick to keep the chubs away? Lots of them in my creek.
