? FOR CURT QUESNELL

[Guest]

Hi Curt, I live in Warroad and my brother is coming up to visit me this weekend and of course, wants to go fishing.Since I just moved here about 6 months ago, I still don't have a real good handle on LOW yet. Any input you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Where to go, techniques, etc. Should I be able to listen to your broadcasts here in Warroad? If so, what are the call letters for your station? Hope to meet you someday. May the next fish you catch be HUGE! (If you would rather not post an answer, my E-mail is:[email protected])<P>------------------<BR>DIRTBALL2

Hi Kieth,<P>99.3 fm or 1460 am. It'll be scratchy but<BR>you should get it in your car. HOWEVER the<BR>fishing shows summer season is over and we<BR>will return the Monday after Thanksgiving <BR>with the Ice season of NorthCountry Outdoors<BR>Radio.<P>September is a strange month for fishing.<BR>It is an "inbetween" time for the fish. They<BR>are not in the summer places and they are not<BR>yet in the fall pattern, or they are in both<BR>a little.<P>I know(from what I have heard) there is some<BR>kind of Shiner run on the Rainy River side<BR>of the lake. When that happens you want to<BR>fish off of Pine Island and in the Morris<BR>Point Gap or the Lighthouse gap. Not to <BR>worry if you are not familiar with this<BR>area it is real easy fishing.<P>Use the public access at Wheelers Point and<BR>head for the lake. Once you get out past<BR>Pine Island head straight out (or veer a <BR>little to your left). Watch your electronics<BR>for the clouds of baitfish, once you find<BR>and area with lots of minnows anchor up and<BR>verticle jig with a shiner or a chub.<P>Very slow presentation, lift the jig a few<BR>inches off the bottom and hold it there still<BR>for a while, then repeat. If you dont catch<BR>anything in a half hour pull the anchor and<BR>look deeper. You will fish from 15 to 30<BR>feet deep water.<P>You should stay busy as you should "windmill"<BR>smaller fish (treat the little guys with care). You will also catch some Pike, Sturgeon, Perch and Pout in the bargain along<BR>with maybe a big eye.<P>This is near foolproof in Oct and Nov. Mid<BR>Sept is early but fishing has been fair for<BR>those using this presentation. Dont use<BR>Crawlers, dont use Leeches...Jig and a Minnow.<P>I will be doing this very thing in this<BR>very place on Saturday. Dont worry, this<BR>is now secret and I dont worry much about<BR>crowds, the fish are plentyful and most <BR>fishers have the boat in the shed already.<P>Good Luck<BR><P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio
