My middle son Quinn has had a passion to get a recurve bow and shoot like the Indians used to. He made many bows last summer out of trees to pvc pipe and was pretty successful at loosing arrows! So for some silly reason my wife and I decided to get him something nicer to shoot. Finding a recurve bow is not as easy as it used to be. We called many shops in the area and settled in on Full Draw Archery out of Harris MN. Willy, Jason and JT all took time with me on the phone and in the shop to make sure we were getting the correct bow that he could grow into and the set-up was 5 star! We ordered the bow just before Christmas and it took a few weeks to get in. When the call finally came Quinn was beside himself to get there! This last Saturday was the day and when we showed up the great service really started. Jason and Willy took time to show Quinn how to properly string the bow and cover some safety concerns about using a recurve. Jason then took Quinn over to the range and sized up his 6 new custom carbon arrows. Jason put them together quickly and we were now ready for the first shot. Jason covered anchor points and aiming and shortly after the arrows began flying. Quinn had a good hour into shooting before he asked where the other guys/gals were shooting and Willy came out and explained the 3d shooting to Quinn. Willy then took us back to the 3d range while a set of people were shooting and let us observe. The 3d stuff is light years ahead of what I am used to seeing! Quinn then asked Jason how long he could shoot and Jason responds, “Till your arm falls off”. Quinn put another 12 arrows in the target and it was time to go. Before we left Jason handed Quinn a card that gave him 3 free shoots at the range and handed Quinn a Team Realtree hat. I have to admit I cant wait to get back there and shoot with my own bow! It is so nice to find a group of guys that pay special attention to kids and are willing to spend time showing them the correct way to shoot. I snapped a few pics enjoy.

They are a great group of people, that is the shop I shoot at. They also have a great outdoor range in the summer.

      Susan Lake

      Looks like a shallow lake with some potential.  Keepable crappies, decent bluegills and some nice perch according to the last survey (2015). Susan Lake   With a max depth of 10 feet, I’d want to know a little more about it before I’d start drilling holes.  Could be a nice little adventure though.

      Jeff and I fished Saturday and half day Sunday, targeting whitefish, ciscos, crappies, and perch.  The bite was tough for us.  We ecked out a few, but nothing special.  Highlight of the weekend was the sled ride into Wolf Lake and having an eagle swoop in and eat a rock bass we had on the ice.  All in all, not a bad way to waste time.

      Winter Lake Trout

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Took another trip into the BWCAW last Friday to fish for lakers.  I waited until daylight to drive the snowmobile to the portage so I could safely cross the large pressure ridge in the middle of the lake.  There were 4 other parties already parked at the portage when I got there, plus 2 other parties came later in the day (one even after sunset).  Walking/towing on the lake was quite easy and I found a spot to fish with nobody close by.  Fished for over 10 hours until sunset and didn't catch a fish.  I did have 4 hits on jigs, including one I got up to the bottom of the hole before the snap swivel caught on the bottom of the hole and the fish shook off.  Enjoyed the sunset in the BWCAW before starting the trek out in dusk.  While leaving I saw 3 other people towing sleds just coming onto the lake, I assume to spend the night.  While snowmobiling in the dark back to the landing I got slightly lost but was able to correct my rout and make it out before running out of gas (was on empty).  Was very nice day in the BWCAW, but it is a tough trip when you don't even catch a fish.  May go back to Burntside this week for a much easier trip.

      Anyone have any info on Susan Lake just north of Black Bay on Vermilion?  I'm curious if it's a panfish possibility while we wait for the opener.
