Hi all, I am wondering what is the best glo lite. I am using a Lund white lite and my husband is using a Tazer blue lite. What is the best and why?

I think they all work ok, some are better thrn others. But I agree with mnhunter, the cheaper!! They seem to find a way down the hole with me.

Since you are from Chisholm, go to the L & M in Hibbing and at their check-out counters they have a nine LED flashlight for under $2 that works awesome. Runs on three AAA batteries and since it is LED it runs for a long time. Very bright light and compact.

Thanks for all the info. I will still use the one I have. You could try using one of the strech cords you get form a casino to attach to you glo lite. They work great for us, as you can attatch the to something so if it falls in you can still get it. Thy attatching it to your shirt of jacket.

One of the best lights I've found for charging jigs was at a garage sale an was an old Minolta camera with a strobe flash holy smokesdose that thing light them up, but if you take a direct hit in the eyes from the flash you might as well take a nap cause you wnt be seeing anything for awhile. Boar

I have been using my old Minolta flash for charging glow stuff for several years. But no longer since the Upper Red Lake Triangle decided it wanted it more than me and made it jump out of my hand and into the hole. The next morning I took my camera and saw it comfortably resting on the bottom. No way to retrieve it though. \:\(

I have always attached the glo lite, my forceps, and clipper to a Northland lanyard that I put around by neck. You could use a shoe string or any other material for that matter. Everything is attached so nothing is going down the hole. It works good and is always at my disposal. Good luck, hang on. Bill

I kill 2 birds with one stone and use an led flashlite so my glow charger was free! I don't think I've charged anything glow this year outside of just 1 particular day on the ice, and this would be out of about 30 trips onto the LOTW ice sheet this season so far since Dec 1. That particular day I tried the red glow folks speak so highly of, hmmmmmm....I caught 1 Walleye right away, fished with it for another 1/2 hour without a nibble then 2 back to back rather large Burbot....Enough with that color for the day and probably for the season! Has been a good color for me on URL years past for them Slabbers though.

This year the Perch/FT gold back AEjr has been 9 outta 10 go to on Jig stick. Deadstick exact same color in a 1/16oz Frostee. Last year I ran Pink and White pretty steady all season. So give me Perch/FT, P&W, and of course straight Golds and I'm usually good to go. I'm thinking maybe the Red Glo that folks like so much is maybe better on the eastside for the deep and sometimes oh so shy basin Saugers maybe? I don't doubt folks with their reports on that color but speaking with ccmonsr a couple weeks back and then SRJ yesterday we kinda pretty much agree on that red glo thing and the 3 of us all fish the pond fairly often.

Quick question. How long are the AEjr's? Compared to the bigger size? I just got some in the mail today, and they are bigger than I expected.(1 5/8 inches) I thought they sent me the wrong size? or are these the jr's? Thanks

      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.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      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!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
