I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately. At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult. -

Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits -

That's part of it. Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role. There's other factors too. MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either. That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here. In other words, demand exceeds supply. Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years. Its hard work for not much money. The two nearest me are both done as of last October. They both told me its just not worth it anymore. One of them had been there for 45 years. My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often. I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays. -

Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet. Spots on the GPS! 🤗 -

Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow -

Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉 The future son in law prefers the lump coal. He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed. Congrats on the clean break “over there”. -

Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread! Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

Question
KatKrazy
My buddy just bought a new Otter lodge last week. When he was assembling it he had to deburr many of the holes and rough edges. I thought this was very poor quality but sometimes that happens. When he tried to collapse the poles, 2 of the 4 locked up and would not collapse. Otter customer service recommends lubing the poles with a WD-40 type lubricant(which he did). Otter is sending him new poles. My question is does anyone else have an Otter with square tubing that works great, poor or otherwise? I'm not sure I want to buy one if this is going to happen now or 2-5 yrs from now.
