Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍 -

There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely. I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd. I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6. You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties. Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip. -

I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on? It would be cool to ride by. 👍 -

The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too. I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive. We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that. Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG -

Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away. -

Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season. Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind. The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch. That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure. -

Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely. Made it out fishing for a few hours those days. Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers. Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck. Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion. Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake. -

Question
watersNfairways
I have read all the posts on the flashers with much interest. I have been using a Zercom LCF-40 for years. I love the functionality of it. It reads fish, structure, and lures great. The problem is the interference and no color, so I started thinking about a new unit. I am fortunate enough to live next door to someone in fishing retail. Last week, I sat on the ice with a LX-3, FL-18, Lowrance x67 Ice-machine, and my old unit. They are all good pieces of equipment. My question is what is the fascination with LED flashers? I personally believe the LCD displays are much better. I have fished with my father-in-law for years. He has an FL-8. The resolution and clarity of LCD displays just seem to offer more than traditional LED displays and a lot quieter. I am currently testing the Lowrance for about a month. I really like it. It has zoom, adjustable zoom, multi-color, and other extras. It also has multiple functions for soft water (I also need a new unit for the boat). Unfortunately, it does not have an interference function. This is the only negative I can find with the x67. I did experience some interference this weekend. It would wig out, but it always would seem to relocate itself. I have heard and read a couple of comments on the x67. LCD freezing: I have never had trouble with my LCD in the cold, and I have heard second hand a couple of times that they have tested the x67 in Canada in extreme cold. Size of the screen: it is small, but it is very easy to see and view. I am fortunate enough to have good eyes though. Many of you are saying Marcum is coming and coming fast Are all those watts on the lake going to screw everything up? To follow that up, my neighbor sold around 20 Vexilars, 8-9 Lowrances, and 2 Marcums this weekend at the St. Paul show. I am not sure what that tells me. I did like the Marcum second to the x67. My second question, anyone else testing the Lowrance and experiencing interference. My third question, should I just wait for Lowrance to fix the interference for next year, take another look at the LED flashers, or start looking into a camera?
This $400 bucks must really be burning a hole in my pocket.
