That too bad Randy I was hoping we could share a beverage and see how the job was working out. I see that you might make the cheesehead get together but I will be at slab fest the same weekend. We should plan a looper trip as it won't be long now till we get to freeze our feet into blocks of ice and convince ourselves we are enjoying it grin.gif

Randy,

Your going to be missing out on some good eats. I'm bringing up two quarts of pickled Northern and a two quart jar of pickled eggs. That should hold us over for a little while. grin.gif

What is wrong with you people!?! You'd think there's nothing else in life except lakers.....er uhm yeah ok.... Man I'm going to miss this one and some familiar faces I'd really like to see. Here's a Two Hearted coming your way. Have fun folks! STF, no I'm not dead, I'm not hiding from the FBI, I got your message (and thank you for the offer), and someday when I have my life back for minute or two, we'll hook up. Now if you'll excuse me I'll get back to my 9 million irons in the fire.

I've only caught 2 small lakers through the ice this year on Big Trout in Crow Wing Co. This thing sounds like a hoot. Is this sleds and gear into Burntside? how far is this from Ely? I fish superior twice a year for lakers and could sub this trip for one of those. I just need a little more info. the how to's of the best way to do the trip. just sounds like to good a time to pass on.

Cakewalk fishgutz and welcome. HQ is a hop from ely. Read STF's final details post. It should have all the info you need.

I should have room on mine Steve if you need.

Just make sure you ride the sled and dont let it ride you this year! Powerslides just don't work when your 7 feet tall. blush.gif

Do you need me to bring buns for turning these into sandwhiches or anything else?

I got the buns covered Chaffmj! Thanks for the offer.

Cheffrey no repeats of last year. I learned my lesson. Im lucky I landed on my face and the sled and Nils didnt run me over.

I think Ill have a trailer but with no reverse I may need a hand pulling it off. Shouldnt be too bad though.

Its supposed to be a fast sled. Seller says 100mph plus? Thats about 60 mph faster than I need. Heck its 75 more.

I'm thinking about coming up for the bash for the first time. Would be coming up late friday night. What's the cheapest motel in town? Any hostels for $10-$20 bucks within an hour of Ely?

Nope, no hostels man. No hostiles either. Unless you catch GO on a bad day \:\) Uhm best bet now is Super8 or Westgate (rhymes with Norman Bates whistle.gif ). I'm sure Paddle Inn is packed but give them a call. Maybe someone here has room for ya?

I know the Paddle has been booked since Dec. but there are always cancellations.

I've eaten at the Ely Steakhouse and the food is pretty good, but they are really proud of their menu and charge accordingly. Its too expensive for me thanks. SOme of the drink specials are okay, but on the weekend it won't help much.

tc,

Will do, I'll give you a call thursday after work and let you know what's up. As of right now, I am planning on heading back home on satruday after the socializing ends...but the nice temps on sunday are tempting me to stay til noon and fish.

The poles he hit are toast, at least the upright one is for sure, and maybe the corner one too. I can rig it to work until i can get replacements. Talk to ya thursday evening. chris

Good to hear you were planning on coming back on Satuday night. Although very tempting to stay and play, I am missing a wedding that day that at the very least, I need to get to the reception that night. I didn't want to leave you in the cold on Saturday night.

Talk to you Thursday.

Northlander,

Congrats on the new to you sled. Its a great feeling to finally have your own, isn't it?! grin.gif

Loonasea, sorry about your car trouble. I was looking forward to meeting you. \:\(

I dug the Ely Steakhouse the one time I was there. I had a black & blue steak. My girl didn't care for it though. She got some soup she didn't like. I guess, as with everything, not everyone will be pleased. But yeah, about $25 buys a dinner and a drink.

Steve, I'll be heading up friday morning and I'll be pulling a 2 place trailer with only one sled, so I've got room if you need it. It also sounds like I'm driving up by myself if anyone wants to carpool.

I'm coming from St. Paul and won't get to the lake till around noon Friday. I told stcatfish that I would help with any setup if needed at HQ, otherwise I'm headed out to fish. I was going to bring my smokey joe and grill a steak on the lake for dinner Friday. \:\) If anyone else is interested I could bring my larger weber just let me know. cool.gif\:\)

Sounds about right to me Tami! We will have 2 way radios set to 7 during the weekend. We can also help with set up too. I'm sure my man will be chiming in here too when he gets home. He hasn't been sleeping too well-he's getting so pumped up-he says he can't turn his brain off! You should see him before walleye opener and deer hunting! Isn't that funny? He just cracks me up! \:D

chaffmj,

I would also like to grill a couple things on friday night, and if you have your grill I could just bring some extra charcoal instead of the whole deal. Does that sound OK with you? A few small steaks (I'll eat some of them cold on the ice saturday for lunch) and a couple foil packs with veggies and 'schrooms.

I'm staying on the lake/parking lot with tc brookston in his sleeper house. I'll hook up with you on friday.

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣
