I hit the black dog area tonight. Snagged a shad and that was it. Saw some guys throwing cast nets taking shad. Otherwise no one I saw get anything.

Slow night for us, we got to watch some other fellas haulin' them in right and left for an hour or so though.

But, Darren did get one at the last minute. I'll let him post the pic.

lol, yeah those guys could have let us catch a fish or two. Then they rub it in with a MN river slimer grin

I can't find my card reader so I guess the pic will have to wait.

It was very similar to this one that WWG caught the other night, maybe just a tad fatter.

The warm weather kind of turned off the bite lately. We need to get that water temp back down again.

Here's one I caught the other night:

Bit of a hike to that spot. Nice fish.

I would be careful putting up photos where the background is that easy to identify......or next time you go down there, you won't be alone.

Yep, first thing I thought of. Upper section, Granite Falls area.

The few walleyes that I have been getting have come by a jig and a fathead, and also I got 2 on a plain hook and crawler, what else do they seem to be hitting on, does anyone ever try a rapala or whatelse seems to be working, jigging ,vertical or casting??

Well you guys are within 50 miles of where I was. There is a ton of that rock on the Minnesota. I'm not to worried anyone finding it. If so, well good luck.

I got out this afternoon and fished from 3-5 in a different area and caught a few keeper/eater fish. A 17" Sauger and 2 15" eyes. The sheepies were nuts too. Here's the pics... I was by myself so the wife had to take the pictures at home!!

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   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...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  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"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
