Ok, I’m not entirely sure what is going on with this forum, but posts are disappearing and it seems like I have to log in to 2 different sites (HSO and FM). It nearly impossible to keep track of where I am or which half of the site I’m on. I have separate PM’s and separate posts lists. I first thought posts were being deleted then discovered they were there, but on the “other” site. Not sure what is going on, but could someone please address the issue, or at least update the community when everything is all tidy and back to one forum. Broken/split conversations don’t work well….or at least that is my opinion. FYI to others, if you are looking for posts, and you are using HSO, then you might have to try FM or vice versa to locate what you are looking for.

Good to know it was not just me. I thought this was on my end and I had no idea what was up.

Another thread was started about problems as well? Maybe some one who worked on the MNSURE site was hired on to do Maint work for HSO? laugh

Yes, I purposely started 2 threads so both sides are aware of what I think is going on.

I do not like the format of not having the latest post on a subject you are following. With the layout like I am getting, I can not tell what is new or old. Naybe I am missing some thing for telling if a post is new. At 76 Iam not that sharp, takes a while to catch on.

just found this out.

There is an arrow on the left of the forum if there are new topics in it since last you visited

Actually its kind of funny. Right now there are 374 people on HSO viewing and posting on the ice forum there and 94 on the FM side doing the same thing but the posts and or replies are only applicable to the forum on which you are using. In other words I can be on FM and can start a post saying “hey you HSO guys are nothing but trolls” and unless they switch over they will never see it. grin

I never understood the need for the separate FM and HSO. Doesn't it just complicate things? Why not just one HSOforum, one url, one forum all with the same name?

Any idea of the thought process and advantages behind the separate names? As a marketing/brand/design person it just seems unnecessary.

I have no idea?

If I tpye in fishingminnesota.com I go to the home page and I can go to the forum for there.

If I got to hotspotoutdoors.com I get taken directly to the forum page. Its looks the same as the FM forum I saw previously but the threads are all different.

I have no idea why there are even two names associated with the site. Maybe there is a good reason but it seems confusing to me. From a branding perspective it seems beneficial to have everyone know you by one name unless the two names/brands serve different customers.

Fishing Minnesota and HotSpotOutdoors have been split. It is a work in progress and will continue to be upgraded for some time.

Fishing Minnesota will be a smaller site and dedicated to Outdoor Minnesota Fishing and Hunting.

HSO will remain close to what it has always been.

Too many changes and not enough time to answer all of your questions. I'm sorry about that.

There will be a lot of very good things coming for each.

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
