I saw Team Otter do this in another forum and thought it was a great idea.

So if your looking for a person to fill a empty seat or need a ride post it here. Heck even looking for someone to shore fish or smelt with later.

 

 

Ill start it out.

I have a open seat at 3:45 today on the St. Louis River. Launch out of Clyde/Smithville landing.

E-mail me at [email protected] before 2pm and we can set it up.

Posted

Good Idea, I often have an open seat. Maybe its cause I don't know what Im doing round here yet.

I'd take you up on it today, but still couhging too much.

Posted

Ya take care of yourself man you dont want that stuff in your lungs too long.

I'm up in Duluth for the school year while my boat sits at home in Brainerd. I'd really like to get out on any type of water, but seeing as how the only rod I have up here is my muskie rod and 2 lures, which I accidentally left in my car the last time i went home, I guess all I could really go out for are muskie. If anyone in the area is going out alone and needs someone to net their fish for them I'd like to tag along, I could pay you for gas in a couple of weeks. haha, after I get a job.

Posted

Bronzeback Ill keep you in mind next time out. Look here daily and Ill post when Im getting out. I would love to trade a few trips with ya. I love that Brainerd area but havent fished it much. Whats the best walleye lake down that way besides Mille Lacs?

Posted

To be honest with you, walleye are really the only fish I don't actively target. I've gotten a couple bonus eyes fishing on the river for smallmouth, even a boatside strike from a walleye on a muskie bait believe it or not. But seeing as how I don't really target the fish I dont ask anyone what the best lakes are. I have heard shamineau and alexander are decent walleye lakes though. Apparently the bite was tough on both this summer though from the little bit of news I did hear.

and also to be honest with you the only kind of trip I'm really good for in Brainerd is one down the Mississippi. I've got a small aluminum boat that's seen just about all that the miss. has to offer down there.

Posted

That would be cool Im a river rat anyways.

Posted

bronzeback have been doing any muskie fishing up here?

contact me [email protected]

Posted

you've got mail.

Posted

might have an open seat to go out on the river tomorrow afternoon if I decide its nice enough lol

Posted

Im headed to Island or Fish tomorrow about noon so if anyone wants to jump in and enjoy a nice fall day and hopefully pop a few walters and slabs let me know at the below e-mail address.

Posted

Great idea on starting up this forum northlander ive seen it in a few other forums and it seems to work well. Its also a great way to meet other fmers face to face. Im a college student up here and dont have a boat but would love to get out in a boat around here. So if anyone ever has an open spot I would be more than happy to buy some bait and cover some gas!

Happy fishing

Posted

I'd LOVE to go, but am 4 hrs from Duluth! :-((

Posted

Dish, I completely forgot you were on here man. Did you sign up for the club yet? Good way to get some of the younger guys on campus out onto the lakes for some hardwater!

Posted

My buddies and i are in charge of the rod and gun club on campus so if you want in drop me an email or something we are gonna try and do a meeting this week....fishing trips, meetings, club tourneys and more this winter and its a good resume builder.

Guys its getting to that time of year where we can use this as a spot to hook up with others to ice fish with as well.

Dont forget Dec 13th at Fish Lake we will have a gathering out of Highbanks Resort. It will go all day.

Posted

steve, I have it marked But I hope there will be ICE??? I have the permanent house ready and it will be out this year if we get good ICE and now slush early. We need a good freze for two weeks at this point.

Posted

We ran sleds and wheelers all over the lake for last years event and that was on the 8th I believe so Im betting we will have plenty of ice. May be some slush like last year but we will find a way to our spots. We always seem to. The slush is what sucks. Not to mention last years COLD morning then warm afternoon made getting back a "adventure". Remember Woodies house? LOL. grin

Posted

I'll try to be there...should be provided I can save enough jing for the new sled for my portable.

Posted

would someone be able to pull me out on their wheeler? I don't have one, and its a good distance to walk pulling a house.

Posted

Thanks Steve - I think my wheeler and house are still thawing out! I think if i had left the plow to my wheeler @ home i could have never got my house off that place. I had to plow a road through the water to get the slush out of the way so my house (on 2x4 skids) could make the adventure through the water. UMDguy got a heck of a ride on the back of the sled on the way back. It was nice to plow a road out there during the day when it was froze...but wading in 2' of water to get ice wasn't fun at all!

Not to mention me launching my wheeler off the back of my truck and off the ramps when i got home due to my brakes/calipers freezing up solid. It took a good 2 days @ 90 degrees in the garage to get it to thaw out so i could bring 'er to the shop to get fixed.

Lesson learned. I'll definately have a battery pack this year. After all the issues last year starting wheelers and sleds....a battery pack on the lake isn't a bad idea!

Steve/Chadwick - see the other posting about the gathering. I got a treat for you steve in my wallet.

Posted

"I got a treat for you steve in my wallet." man, that just isn't right...

Posted

Good deal Woodie and thanks.

thinking of heading over to washburn or bayfield area i have a sled,truck,and an open seat. just wondering if any one was interested heading over within in the next few days.

Posted

Where are you leaving from?

Posted

Bobbersup! I was just out there yesterday for the first time (Chequamegon Bay), 2 White fish and 1 smelt. Thinking going back on friday morning. I have all the gear but no sled so limited by how far I can pull. Hoping for trout and salmon but will take what I get. I'll find out in AM if I'll have a spare seat. Maybe swap phone #'s and try different locations to find the hot spot.

      Ok the ice was 15-16 inches and less than 2 inches of snow. It’s was -15 this morning and the weekend looks to be cold again. The fish were there but not biting with change in weather.

      I guess the vikings are a lot like fishing.  Very entertaining but frustrating at times. I've probably been cheering the vikings for 50 plus years  that i can remember and once again it's all about (there's always next year).

      I remember Jeno's boxed pizza years ago.  Mom made it every Saturday night while dad and I watched All Star Wrestling.

      On the South Shore... Ice fishing is going great on the south shore of Lake of the Woods, with resorts and outfitters reporting thickening ice conditions with two feet of ice in some areas.  Many ice roads are now open to 1 ton vehicles pulling a wheelhouse.  Every road has different weight limits, check with each resort for details before traveling up and out on the ice.      Some good fishing this past week.  As a rule, fishing activity is happening in 28 - 32 feet of water.  Resorts do just about everything they can to get customers on fish and this past week, some resorts made some long runs, resetting fish houses in new areas miles off shore.  Most are reporting good fishing as a rule.     It is common to sort through some small walleyes and saugers to get your keepers on LOW.  Naturally, some big fish are showing up, especially in deeper water.  In addition, this has been a very good year for jumbo perch with good numbers being caught.  Other fish in the mix are eelpout (burbot), pike, tullibees and an occasional sturgeon.      Anglers are using the one-two punch of jigging in one hole and deadsticking the second hole. In the jigging hole, a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head or tail in gold / pink, gold / glow red, glow white / pink, or Wonder Bread have worked well.     Especially in the deeper water, some anglers are finding success on rippin raps or using jigging spoons with a rattle as well.     On the deadstick, a small jig with a live minnow hooked behind the dorsal fin set 6 inches - a foot off of the bottom is working well.  One day the jigging line catches most of the fish, the other day a deadstick is hot.     Electronics are very helpful to see suspended fish, know when fish are coming through and adjust your presentation to the mood of each fish.  Most resorts, outfitters and bait shops in the area rent electronics by the day.   On the Rainy River... The Rainy River is still producing some nice walleyes and saugers, primarily in the mornings and evenings.  A jig and minnow working well.   Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing continues to be good for those targeting them.  An oversized hole, or three holes drilled together, with nightcrawlers or frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig fished on the bottom are what anglers are using.     Ice conditions on the river can vary significantly due to the current. To stay safe and maximize success, always work with a local resort or outfitter familiar with river conditions.    Up at the NW Angle... Ice fishing continues to be very good up at the Northwest Angle. Resorts have fish houses set up on various pieces of structure as well as adjacent to structure in deep mud.  A consistent mix of walleyes, saugers, jumbo perch, pike and tullibees in the mix.     Shallow structure is best right away in the morning and as the sun starts going down in the late afternoon.  Mud is more of a slower bite but all day.   The ice road from Jerry's on the mainland (Angle Inlet, MN) to island resorts (as of this past week) was open to 1 ton vehicles.  Guests drive right to their island resort after picking up a road pass at Jerry's or Point North Services.  Venmo is also available at all resorts.  Work through your resort for specifics.   Ice fishing is in full swing across Lake of the Woods and there are openings for lodging, fish house rentals, sleeper fish house rentals and meal plans across the area.  Ice fishing is extended on LOW with fish houses allowed on the ice through March 31st, walleye / sauger season open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes.

      From your fingertips to God's ears...  Finally got some snow!   Several inches of new snow fell before and during the weekend.  Sunday eve when we left, the high winds had already begun to create some drifting on the lake.  It was fun riding for sure.  Lots of folks on the lake this past weekend too.  We fueled up the sleds at Shamrock and saw as many people fishing in that area as I've ever seen in the Winter on Lake Vermilion.     Our weekend results were decent.  Jeff and I and a buddy caught probably 50 walleyes between the three of us, mostly fishing a jig/plastics with our three biggest being 24", 25", and 25.5".  We also got one large pike of unknown length.  During the midday on Sunday, we targeted whitefish and Jeff managed one big one.  We released all of our fish, except for three small walleyes that our buddy wanted to bring home for a meal.  Definitely a fun weekend on Lake V!

      The Vikings are the Vikings so it's nothing new.  It is kind of sad that Darnold's off season stock is now going to drop like a rock after these last two games. It kind of shows he's not a big game guy.  🤔
    • smurfy
      I'm blaming leech... his food selection has been lacking game days recently  🤣
