Stickers

These are my stickers after 7 trips on the water (Roughly a month ago). Granted the last trip winds were 45mph so they got beat on a bit.

This is year 3 in a row where my stickers have peeled apart.

Super glue will keep you going for most of the rest of the season...Hopefully.

Never had a problem with the adhesive failing, just the front peeling from the back.

How many of you have had your stickers peel apart?

Do you glue them or replace them?

I wanted to include a survey but have no clue how.

Two or three sets of stickers each year. I have had to get new ones already this year, just order them in the mail. its a pain.

I see it's the bottom part of the sticker that's letting loose. You're supposed to cut that part off. Not sure if that will help or not, but give it a try.

I cut mine off and it is coming apart from the top right corner (the one that faces the front of the boat)

+4 and they need to go back to making the sticker in the shape of the state - that was a much cooler look.

I couldn't agree more, it would add some class to the operation.

use some clear nail polish around the edges to prevent the peeling from starting.

The problem may be when stickers get put on top of other sitckers the edge isn't sealed allowing for moisture to get under the adhesive. I saw the edge on one of my stickers starting to peel so cut it off with a razor blade. The rest of the the sticker has held tight.

No, i've never had the adhesive fail, just the sticker itself separates.

Must be lucky as I have not had an issue with these.

Metal deer hunting tags, if we want to add $2-$3 to the cost. I am fine with what we have now, no issues.

My Rt Cheek on my waders is too small to fit this, is it okay if I split it across the great divide and cover a portion of the left?

I'm so full of hot air that I float while wading so I guess I could be considered a watercraft. I fish about 15 bodies of water, one was just invaded by sewage (gosh that was a fun one to walk in on). I should probably put that sticker on both to be careful. Gotta double bag it. I know where I been.

Plus when I had the sticker on that said "14" this guy named Jerry S Came up to me with tickets to a bowl game and some football camp.

Not sure that's the right message.

I hear you on the fish house tag. What a joke. I have a 3 year license and have not been able to read it for a year now. Still have one more ice season to go.

My stickers have done the exact same thing the last 2 times. Now I put some clear packaging tape over them and that works fine.

I'd pay more for something that works like it should. And who's being a "crybaby"?

They come off the sleds real easy too. What is funny, is that other stickers, and cheap ones, never come off. So somebody in the State has a bro-in-law with a crappy sticker company wink haha

1+ metal deer tags!

Whats with the peeling, fading, dissapearing tags that needs to be replaced monthly! My fish house tag the print dissapeared! The warden looked at the other portion of the tag that I had stuck to the inside of my house to see that I actually had one! Now would I get a ticket if he didn't see that?

I've never had a problem with mine but I keep my boat stored in the garage when I'm not using so maybe that makes a difference?

probably is. i just replaced mine, but only on one side. the side the sun shines on most of the day. good luck.

I'd like to think the sun could play a part. In past years it took quite a few trips for the stickers to separate, but this year it was after 7 trips. Sticker went on May 9th and peeling occured May 23rd. If anyone remembers may23rd, 45mph winds on the lake...It was a rough one! grin

I think this guy got it right:

      I thought that I remembered reading a statement years ago from the DNR, where they said it was unlikely that the rusty crayfish would be able to migrate from the east to west basins of Vermilion. It would be a shame if they have already. I'm sure that my wife and daughter will like swimming better with less weeds, but the fishing will suffer.

      On the south end...  Some great fall walleye fishing this past week on Lake of the Woods.  September is a transition time, both for walleyes, bait, and what techniques they prefer.   Walleyes are being caught at many locations around the lake.  The north end continues to be producing a good number of eater walleyes with the mixed in trophy.  This part of the lake has been consistent all summer and now into the fall.   The south end of the lake is kicking out some nice limits as well, just have to find the fish.  Electronics help of course, but so does covering water.   The two techniques to cover water are spinners / crawlers and crankbaits.  Both are still producing fish.  The third common technique that is starting to kick in more and more every week as the water cools is jigging with a frozen emerald shiner.  Once you find the fish, this can be super effective.   Most fish are being caught in 18 - 32 feet, depending upon where you are fishing.  There can be a morning / evening bite along the shoreline areas which is worth exploring.  The shallower water can also light up during the day if bait is present.   Areas throughout the lake with rock hold nice numbers of smallmouth bass.  The south shore between Long Point and Morris Point has many scattered areas with rock as does the areas around Knight, Bridges and Garden Islands.   Saugers, big pike, jumbo perch and a few crappies in the mix of walleyes throughout a day of fishing.   On the Rainy River...   Some good fishing in the Rainy River right now.  Walleyes, saugers, pike, smallmouth bass, crappies, sturgeon, suckers and bullheads are all in the mix, depending upon what technique(s) you are using.     Walleyes continue to be caught in Four Mile Bay, along various shoreline breaks, bars and other pieces of structure up and down the river.  Trolling spinners and trolling crankbaits continues to be effective.  Many anglers are jigging key areas and success.  It will get even better as the waters continue to cool.      Pike and smallmouth bass are being caught casting shorelines, bays and areas with rock or structure.   Sturgeon activity is also getting better.  Fall sturgeon fishing is normally excellent.  The sturgeon season is open through the winter into the spring. Up at the NW Angle...  The NW Angle is putting out some nice fish.  Most anglers are targeting walleyes, but crappies and muskies are favorite species as well during the fall months.   Walleyes are hanging out on points, reefs, flats and neck down areas with current.  Good reports are coming from anglers using jigs, spinners and crankbaits.  Some anglers swear by a jig and plastic or minnow.  Others believe moving around with a spinner or crankbait is most productive.  All three methods are catching fish.   Crappies are being found in 20 - 30 feet off of points and around brush piles. Electronics helps to find the schools.   Casting shorelines this time of year will put a plethora of species in the boat and is very enjoyable.  Crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, inline spinners and bladed jigs are all good lures to work shorelines. Muskies have been active.  Great reports as most muskie anglers fish just over the border from the Angle.  With 14,552 islands, lots of spots, lots of fish.  .

      The rusties are sort of into west end, but I don't know how much.   But in my experience the weeds vary from year to year.   Like this year, our beach didn't have as many weeds as last year.   And the bay on the east side of center Island didn't either.   But other places seemed to be about like usual.

      I will be going up at the end of the month to do a little fishing.  I will do a little calling around and find what others have to say as for the bite on the chain if they have been out.  I will report back to what I find.  Should be good fishing with the cooling temps!

      Numerous residents report tree damage/destruction along Munson Lake lakeshore, just south of Detroit Lakes. Would like an approximate cost for removal of beavers causing damage. thanks randy Schaefer
