Just started spearing, noticing some cold shoulders?
Bizhu posted a topic in Bowfishing/Spearing - MN
I've never been big into the fishing community, but I started spearing this season and I've fallen in love. Though, I've seen a few threads where people have spoken out against spearing which I understand, but what's the reason behind some of the flak? I've received a couple sneers when asking bait shops if they have decoys, and just a general distaste towards spearing. I mean no disrespect towards anyone, I've had way more positive experiences. Just wondering about some of the negative attitudes towards spearing. Thoughts? -
There's a contest on Feb 15th noon to 3pm out of Garrison. The prizes look nice and entry fee isn't too spendy. I do have some questions and hopefully someone has answers. Anyone around here ever fished it? What's the attendance like? Where are the boundaries? What depth would a participant likely be fishing?

On-board charger 10 or 15 amps per bank?
Hookmaster posted a question in Equipment-Expert Information - MN
Getting a MinnKota Precision charger for my new boat, a 1875 Pro Guide. It will have a 24 volt Ulterra on the bow and 24 volt Vantage on the stern. The batteries are group 31 AGMs. I've always had 10 amp per bank chargers in the past. I will be spending more time on the water with this boat so draining the batteries down more. Is the 15 amp per bank better, worse or no difference? I am leaning towards the 15 amp for quicker charging. Getting a 3 bank so the starting battery will be topped off also. -
2020 Lake Projects
SkunkedAgain posted a topic in Vermilion-Pelican Lake-Chisholm-Cook-Ely-Eveleth-Hibbing-Orr-Virginia Fishing Reports - Hunting
Let’s hear about your 2020 projects up at the lake. At my daughter’s request, I am going to rebuild the outhouse to “higher standards.” What do you plan to do? -
Hello! New to this but I come across a lot of these threads and wanted to give it a try! I’ve done some fishing on canisteo mine pit for lake trout and have had some good days and very slow days. Was wondering if anybody fishes the taconite side for lake trout in the winter? When I’m out there I never see any traffic out that way so I’m curious if anybody has had success! Thanks Mojo88

Does Helix 12 fit in Pro Angler 1875 Electronics Compartment
Hookmaster posted a question in Equipment-Expert Information - MN
The dealer "thinks" it will. They are rigging one this week so they will find out for sure. If some knows, what mount was used? Probably mounted to the compartment cover using the gimbal mount. -
Just reminding everyone, your current license expires in 11 days. Thanks to leap year, you get one bonus day to fish this year. 2020-21 licenses will be going on sale today, according to the DNR. (CO's are usually out in force on 3/1...)

Would any of you know if this location will be open this weekend? I'm just looking to explore the creek and really want to just get in a creek/river with my waders

Great site! So I have an 18yrold Eskimo Baracuda with the Turbo bottom assembly .It has always ran great but that Turbo is a Beast and quite agressive . Ive had to have the flites welded 3 times over the years were the flite meets the shaft and has never seemed to make any difference on cutting . However, the last time it was welded was close to the bottom and we ddint notice that the plastic gromet that centers the Spike was melting , sooo we just put it back in place and centered the best we could and let the plastic cool. I used it a few times after that and it cut "Alright".....But.. now it bounces around like a four year old in a bounc-house . So my question is, is it worth it to just put in a new Spike and some new blades ? Or should I just get a new Qantum 10" bottom?

OK some advice here. When most of you post about catching your sunfish or crappies it's almost always on a small jig/worms/plastic set up I rarely hear about on minnows. Now before I get ahead of myself yes I know that sunfish are not noted for minnows yes occasionally but not the norm. I have tried several night bites for crappies with minnows I have caught 2 so far this winter. My question is would a dead stick with just a jig and a few spikes work better? Minnows I'm finding seem to slow me down and even though rumor has it a deadstick is the next best thing since sliced bread I'm not seeing it. Just to note I am jigging with another rod small jig with spikes generally that's what I get my pan fish on. Thanks just want some advice keep the minnows or leave the bucket behind?

How do I handle water in my Marcum recon 5 camera???

After going 9 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties since Dec. 7th the Gophers Hockey team sits atop the Big Ten Standings and relevant again for the NCAA tourney sitting at 16 in the pairwise rankings. They are tied with Penn State in the Big Ten Standings with each having 36 pts. A huge battle is coming between them this weekend. Another great thing in the race for 1st place in the Big Ten is that Penn State's Big Ten season is done after this battle. While the Gophers have 2 more games against Michigan, who sits with 33 pts, the following week to accumulate points. There are two more teams at 31 points. So the Gopher's last 4 games in the Big Ten may determine not only who wins the Big Ten Title, where they are now in the drivers seat, but may determine if they even make it to the NCAA's. Of course there's always the Big Ten Championship Tourney which produces an automatic bid. What do you think folks?

What is the difference between canoeing and kayaking?
banton441241 posted a topic in MN River, Stream, & Shore Fishing - Canoe and Watersports.
A canoe requires a “J” stroke (to compensate for paddling on one side) whereas a kayak has a balanced left and right stroke that better aids in tracking and balance. Canoe paddles are heavy. Kayak paddles are ergonomic and light! AND What is the difference between canoeing and kayaking? -
What's going on here folks?

Getting to Northwest Angle in Winter
Pbrenn posted a topic in Lake of the Woods Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
I am planning a trip up to the Northwest Angle in early March to ice fish. Looking for thoughts and best way to get there across the lake from the south shore. I am thinking my only 2 options are snowmobile which would be the fastest or take the Sportsmans Lodge Bomber ride for a lot of $$$. Anyone take a Polaris Ranger with tracks across? What are everyones thoughts? -
Minnesota sent Robert Covington and Jordan Bell to Houston, Keita Bates-Diop, Shabazz Napier to Denver and Andrew Wiggins plus a top 3 protected 1st round pick to Golden State. Coming the Wolves way are DeAngelo Russell, Brooklyn’s lottery-protected 1st round pick, along with Evan Turner’s expiring contract, Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangomez and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Anybody else take in the show this weekend? Boy has it changed sadly what it once was has become less and less. Oh well something to do on a cold day. I was totally blown away at boat prices on some of the new boats. Some of the new Vexus and Rangers were $90,000 plus. Come on its a boat Who affords this stuff and when will we reach a plateau? A 14 footer and right guy in it will catch as many fish just maybe a lot slower. LOL. I always tell buds when we are on a lkae look for the old timer in that small boat off by himself he's the one probably catching the most fish his success was learned by experience and trial and error and I bet he almost always knows where the hotspots are. I t was a good way to kill some time and dream but that's about all. Looking forward to the Northwest Sportshow this spring always a hit IMO. And fun to reconnect with many in fishing industry.
