Weekend report

[Scoot]

I fished a full day Sat and a half day Sun with my wife, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. We only caught a dozen or so fish on Sat- very tough going. Fished in 30.5 feet out on Adrian's road. I did manage to catch a 25.5 and a 29.25 tough- very fun. I wish one of the gals would have latched into those fish, but I guess God smiled on me for taking the gals out.<P>We did better on Sun, numbers wise. Kept 14 and put back a dozen or so smaller ones. Nothing big, but nice eaters.<BR>Scoot

We just got back from Gibbins and Bryant and Jason are two of the hardest working guys I know. On Saturday we got out about 8ish and found lots of fish who were biting very lightly. By 5pm we had 8 keepers and 35 throw backs, not to mention the 50 or so bites that didn't get hooked. We ended up with the most success on a plain red hook. After only catching 2 pouties during the night bite we hit the hay and awoke to a nice brisk -20 (but it seemed like a warm -20). On Sunday the fish we even less willing to bite, we ended up catching 3 jumbos and 1 toothy that was around the 30" mark. That fish had made his rounds to at least 1 other house as he had a large teardrop hook in it's mouth. Many thanks go out to the boys at Gibbins and we are planning another trip for late February with them. The boys have only been in business a short period of time but you could never tell. They definitely had their act together and knew what was going on. Bryant, we'll be calling you this week about the end of February and we'll get you guys a picture of you and Jason with the pouty.

Scoot we were out Thursday and Friday and did very well both days. Caught 50 fish each day and brought back a limit of nice fish mostly saugers but they were big ones. We fished the very east side of Pine in 29 feet of water almost on the Canadian border. Used a glow bubble gum forage minnow 1/8 ounce spoon and a Hali with a 3 inch dropper glow pink hook and shiner. Good Times!<P>Milkdud!

Hey MilkDud...<P>What happens if you fish the Canadian side? Are you subject to their fishing regs? The 2003 MN Fishing Regulations book says..."MN-Canada Border Waters: Anglers who have a Minnesota (resident or non-resident) license may fish only the Minnesota portion of Canada's border waters"...<P><I>I suppose that just answered my question!!</I>-- Andy "haven't been to LOTW" Kotz

Not only do you need to have a Ont. lisence, but you also need to have a border crossing permit to go into Canada by water.<P>Dud, when we gonna meet up up North? I'll be up next the weekend of the 24th.<BR>Scoot

[Milkdud]

Scoot, I will check my schedule maybe I can meet you up there that weekend? I have been doing pretty good each time I have been up so I am always looking for a reason to head up to LOW and do some fishing.<P>Milkdud!

[Milkdud]

Yes, you need to stay on the Minnesota side if you don't have a Canadian fishing license. That is when the GPS comes in handy!
