I was wondering if all the fish that people are catching are near the bottom 12 inches or like last year coming though at suspended depths through out the day. I have a flasher, but my stuborn brother will not invest in one. So every year I have to kick his butt at fishing. I guess sombody has to put the fish on the table. <P><BR>PUMP THE HOLES GRAMPS!!!

well i got one thing to say our grandparents nevver had no flashers unless you count the naked drunk man running across the ice about 2 in the afternoon after the quart of E and J hit the floor but i will stick with my gramps and the pamida hook and excedrine bottle for a bobber very good<P><BR>old school fishing will never die!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Well you better sharpen that rusty PAMIDA HOOK of yours because you will need all the help you can on DEC 21. You can rub that lucky E&J bottle all you want and you still wont have a chance against me and my flashing death hook. <P><BR>BUY MORE EXCEDRINE!!!!

ARE you thinking in terms of a stiff drink at the Riverbend after the contest or is this going to be a money bet? Well I like BLACK VELVET AND WATER WITH LITTLE ICE, so you better you better tell GORDY the bartender to stock up on VELVET. May be we can put one of those antique PAMIDA hooks on the line for a wager.<P><BR>DOA Dennis Olson still lives*****

Have they been driving trucks out from wig wam yet? Also have any perch been caught along with the eyes?

My money is on Twee with a flasher, a lot of those fish are suspending. Also if Gordy buys his tackle at Pamida that paints the whole picture right there! I will be surprised if Gordy doesn't get skunked!<P>Just kiddin.....Have fun!

You gotta spend some $dough$ on tackle and spoons if your going to be competitive. Those mixed bags that you get at PAMADIA of 3 red/white dardevils, 2 red/white bobbers, couple of pinch weights, and 2 bare hooks just isn't going to cut on the big water of LOW. Drop a C note on some good spoons (gold and glow stuff) and fish hard with those. Good luck SWAMPY!<P><BR>over and out<P>

      That's cute. My mother in law had all those little sayings.  Her favorite was "Life's a betch then you die"  so cheery. 😏

      Hey, he seems to like starting pissing matches, everywhere!  😒 😉

      Hey now, that one is all you!  Haha!  Don’t make another thread septic. 😉      Yup, the Looper Bug.  I couldn’t remember that catchy name for it.  2lb test is a little crazy, especially for the line quality back then but I can see that being a thing too.  Such clear water.  Looking down the hole watching the fish swim around and them looking back at you.  The further out I got, the easier it was for them to see me.   My one looper charged in when my jig was just below the ice while I was laying face down like you said.  It hit basically right in front of my face.  The fight was me rolling over and pulling it out of the hole.  That was shortly before the guys in the shallows packed up their little black shelters and left with their fish.     So, by the end of the day I learned: black looper bug; light line; conceal movement; and/or fish shallow.  And then never went back.

      Cuz like I said, he was breaking off a lot and they were like gold at the time.  Guys an't giving up anything when combat fishing, I'm sure he pissed off some folks running around jumping in and out of open holes. 😉

      🤔why didnt ya "leech" some of them black flies from the guy!!!!!🤗😂   awe come on....wanderer would of said it too!!!!😉
    • leech~~
      Au, yes the black fly, aka the looper bug.  I remember the first time I was introduced to it.  There must have been 20-30 guys out in front of the French on the ice. This one guy was running from hole to hole and pulling fish, but he was also breaking off a lot.  When I finally got close to him, he said he had 2lb line and just the bug on the end and jigging.  I think I had about 6lb line and some jig with waxies.  I jumped in my Suv and buzzed up to the bait store in Two harbors "which is closed now" to get new line and bugs.  By the time I got back and fishing again the bite must have been over!  Spent the rest of the day laying on the ice staring down the hole, ton's of fish went by but not bite!! ☹️    I used to get up at like 3:00am to drive up from Brooklyn Center, fish until dark and drive home.  When I had more of the wander spirit.  Heck I remember when I had no brains or money in the spring, getting up at like 2:30am, driving up and fishing every stream for about an hour that I could get to from Duluth to Grand Marais.  Then driving all the way home the same day.  🤪

      Last day of myself hunting before I help my friend with new clients. Back on the bigger marsh, mainly teal but 5 fulvous whistling ducks. A medium size duck but they fly and decoy like Canada geese, big circles and glide in. They are noisey birds

      Kettle, sounds like an awesome trip. Never see drake bluewings in MN during the season. For the bridge my pucker factor would've been 11, and that's walking across both ways!!
