You are right about the phone Del.

My old, cheap Nokia worked much better then my more expensive Sony does!

All Verizon users need to call Verizon and tell them that since AT&T has a tower now, you will be switching. That may get Verizon to get on the tower.

Yes I agree and that's what I did but they don't want to say where the towers are( they make it sound like all towers are all theirs) and don't want to say where they are as any one inquiring may be a TERRORISTS.

Yes I think it would help for all Verizon users to contact them and let them know we may change since WE WANT CELL PHONE SERVICE ON THE BIG V.

I was not able to attend the township meeting but am very disappointed to hear of the unanimous posthumous approval.

My father, in 1975, hauled logs over the ice to an island, and started to build a log cabin using nothing more than hand tools and chain saws, and the help of a few good friends. The cabin was nearly completed that winter when he fell ill and tragically died late that spring. Fortunately the cabin was finished shortly thereafter and our family has been using the cabin ever since. Needless to say the cabin and lake hold a very special place in our hearts.

Our property is on Frazer Bay and we have all too good of a view of the new tower. I am beginning to feel I am in the minority opinion here, but, I strongly feel the Greenwood Township dropped the ball big time on this matter and paid a huge disservice to its constituents. To me the tower is more than just a minor eyesore, it is an assault on the beauty and splendor of this magnificent lake. I am not one who is opposed to innovation, development, and modernization, but I do feel development and modernization should be measured, sensitive to place and the aesthetics of location. It is the Townships duty to provide this balance, to preserve the natural beauty of this lake.

It seems the township and residents were both railroaded on this issue. The tactics of the cell tower company were keenly and successfully deployed.... Get streamlined approval from the county, quickly build the tower, then deploy well versed professional advocacy after resistance develops.

It is quite obvious to me that council's vote that evening was not a vote on granting permission to build a 400foot tall tower with blinking lights .25miles from the lake, visible from as far away as Niles Bay....... but rather a vote on weather a tower that provides a very valuable service, possibly life saving, should be removed. It simply should not have come to that. I would hope to believe that if it were the other way around, another solution could have been worked.

      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!!!   🤣

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.
