Pics and Tips from Yesterday


Turk

Recommended Posts

October 19, 2010, Walleye fishing on the Lower St. Croix River is excellent. The water temperature is 55 degrees. The river is still two feet high, but a far cry from eight feet high as we had a week or so ago. Now that the river is normal level for this time of year, the usual fall locations are producing walleye and sauger. To clarify the fish are leaving the shallows and locating deeper. Water clarity is fairly clear and debris minimal.

This last week on guide trips top lures/presentations are crankbaits, minnows, and now plastics. Many of the fish are nice 16 to 18 inch walleye. Yesterday in the morning trip the first six fish caught were all in that range. We are also seeing larger fish as well and we voluntarily released five yesterday over 20inches, and caught a total of 24 legal walleye and nice sauger combined. I also had a report from a friend that is an awesome angler that they landed a nine pounder last weekend (nice job Scott!).

For Lures I am using Rapala Shad Raps, minnow raps, and original floaters (bright colors). For jigs I am using glitter jigs from www.deanstackleshop.com. I like 5/16 and 3/8 ounce for vertical jigging the Croix. Depths have been around 20 feet of water, but that may be deeper any day.

The forecast is poor for a few days, but I expect November to be fairly nice after the first cool burst. This is just fine as fewer folks will be out and about, so some peace and tranquility is found in mid November. As long as they bite we will be out fishing the great St. Croix River. Keep Catchin’ Turk

Trolled Monday in a spot I usually consider fly over territory and was susrpsised to crank up this beast! I guess it pays to play with new spots. This old dog maybe needs a few new tricks.

Keep catchin'

      The only points the Packers scored were 1) off a turnover (interception), and 2) in garbage time when the Vikings went into prevent defense mode.  Outside of that, they put up a whopping 3 points.  This from a GB team that has scored at least 30 points in each of their last 5 games.   The theory on prevent defense is that once you get a big lead in the 4th quarter, you back off and make the opponent beat you by methodically moving the ball and the sticks, one at a time.  It eats up clock and there just isn't enough time left to come back doing it.  You don't want to get beat deep so you give them easy yardage.  Its like slowly bleeding out but you survive the game without dying.  I don't particularly care for it, but every single team in the NFL does it.  We've seen it  a lot this season too when the Vikings get a double digit lead, and then back off, allowing the other team to gain ground and make it close.

      Lake update:  It rained quite a bit on overnight Friday into Saturday. There is virtually no snow on the lake now, except a scant amount in the shadows along the shorelines. On Saturday there were good pools of water on top of the ice. My daughter, niece, and nephew had a blast riding snowmobiles around in all of that water/slush. However, most of that liquid water firmed up yesterday and now the lake is pure ice again.   If you've got scratchers and studs on your sled, you will be fine. If not, you better walk or ride an ATV/UTV out to your ice fishing holes.    Ask Mother Nature to send a bunch of snow ASAP.

      Agreed.  If Darnold could unload a lot faster off the snap he would be unstoppable.  I could see how frustrated Jefferson was.

      I think they could get the Lions.  Not as confident with the Chefs.  I’d love to see it though.   Darnold did well for sure!  But he was off a bit and the receivers made some great catches.  Then a few plays that were close to turnovers.  It was a good thing GB took too long to find their game.   Im not hatin’, just sayin’.

      Just like the Twins in 87 and 91.  One game at a time.  I think with KOC they have a good shot. Besides it's a rebuild year according to the experts at the beginning of the year.  
    • leech~~
      It was a win but can they get by the Lion's and Chief's if the defense doesn't show up?  What more can your QB do but his best stat game of the season?
