I've heard that slang thrown around quite a bit so I have to ask. Been fishing MN for 8 years now and still don't know what people are referring to when they say "mudpuppy".

thanks for educating me ;-)

ohhhhhhhh, those things....

thanks guys

on a side note, rumors back in ND were that you could use waterdogs(more familiar term) to hook walleye. Never did it myself but a good friend used to catch nice 'eyes on sakakawea that way - so he says

anyone heard of that around here?

Must be really freakin' hungry!

What is he hanging onto?

Thats a cool picture. You can see him struggling. I like the struggle. mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Gosh those things are gross. I don't know what I'd do if I caught one. Call me a sissy but I'd probably just cut the line and kick it back down the hole.

It was a big ball of line that was all tangled together that it was hooked to. We didn't catch the mudpuppy, but did catch the line in it's mouth.

No, not that I noticed

I know those things all to well. First year fishing on the Croix I caught a ton of them while looking for walleye.

Mud puppy's are the only critter I won't take off the hook with my hands sick ...those little gills sticking out of their neck creep me out.

      Went back up Thursday to avoid the weekend rush.  Cold start at -22掳F with a good wind.  Happy to be inside a permanent house.  No fresh snow so no more drifting.  Ice was very noisy with the cold weather.  Saw a big pickup truck drive off of plowed roads from McKinley Park to Ely Island without getting stuck, but the truck had very wide tires and a good size lift.  A light snow is predicted Friday night with a 5mph wind so there could be more drifting this weekend.  Temperatures this weekend look a little cool, but not cold.   Fishing was much better 3 days later.  Caught my biggest yet this winter at 26 inches.  She bit very light and didn't resist much until she saw the hole.  Then she peeled out a lot of line before I could bring her in and conduct CPR (catch, picture, release).  Fished from 7:15am-6:00pm and had good bites from 8:00-8:40am and 1:30-2:10pm.  Outside of those windows I had very little action.  Chubs were much more productive than shiners this time.  Marked many suspended fish but couldn't get them to bite.  Had better action when I would lower my minnow to the bottom and lift it up slowly.   Found a good way to reheat Zup's polish delites on my buddy heater.  Tasted great after my one-week low-fiber diet.  I counted 40 permanent houses from McKinley Park to Ely Island and Birch Island.  I assume more houses will go out this weekend, but I bet a lot more will be pulled off the ice before the last week of the season.  Beautiful sunset to end a great day on the ice.   Good luck fishing, be courteous, and please pick up your trash.  Just 9 days left of the season.
