I think what makes this such an appeal, is that not only are they the biggest fish in the state, the fishing couldn't be much simpler.

I agree Darren. Not many places you'll see an old 14' Lund with a 15hp anchored next to a Ranger 621 w/ a 225hp and the Lund has every chance to outfish the Ranger. grin

I like seeing those pictures and reports, keep them coming.

After getting up at 2:30 AM and making the drive up there, sleep deprivation starts right of the bat. Then getting up at 5:30AM, fish all day is all this guy can handle without getting some sleep.

Next year I think I'll schedule a nap at noon and try that night fishing. smile

As hanson said, we caught all our nice fish in the bay. 18' treated us well, but our largest came in 22'

Best fishing was from sundown till you couldn't stand it any longer (but again our largest fish of the trip (64.5) came in the daytime).

Grandpa Dewayne Highlights

Caught his biggest fish of his life and the biggest fish of the trip between all our boats.

64.5" x 25" (that ruler below the fish is 72") ~ 68lbs

Fighting the monster (love the squint on his face). It took 47 minutes to land this fish.

Steve Highlights (my Dad)

Caught his biggest fish of his life.

Big story for Dad.... He fought a fish for 1hr 20min and lost it. Absolutely heartbreaking. The fish surfaced once, but we could only see it's head. By the fight alone, guess it over 70" (100lbs)

47"

Maybe, just maybe....the terrorist count could rise by 1 boat. Don't mean to get you too nervous, Fisky, but there might be an anchor rope snagger comin'. whistle

No problemo Chuck! And enjoy! Lot's of river for me to hide out on when necessary. Anchor rope snaggers eh?? I'm doing pretty good on those this season, last week in one short afternoon trip I got 1 fat female right away followed a 1/2 an hour later by an old grey faced male. Then to finish the evening I got a double which were a father/son it turned out!

2 circle hooks and 2 baitholder types added to collection!!

Keep your eyes peeled I'll be in that same 20 Alaskan as a coupla years back or maybe a small red kickboat.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      By CigarGuy · Posted

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
