Wanted to start a post for members to share what they do to put a few more fish topside ,,,, secrets of course you never wanted to share 😆.

Since it's hardwater season, I'll start with this...20191121_152505.thumb.jpg.44279beab9d6bdfa42f229e49405e643.jpg1574371705021973979945.thumb.jpg.ab0ba74fc8cf088d6e0cdc7d35a7f977.jpg

 

The addition off a colored glow bead over a favorite presentation can turn a good day into a great of catching 😀

Tom  great tip there!  One of the things I Do is replace a lot of my treble hooks on my spoons for walleyes with red Mustad Triple grip hooks.  I feel it ups my odds of getting more and better hook sets.  Another was discussed in a earlier thread is I like to make up my own home made scents to up my odds on the ice.

The addition of beads really adds something,  I go to the fabric store in St Cloud and buy glass beads, and use them above hooks on my deadsticks. I believe glass is better, they are brighter in color, more reflective, you can find more colors and sizes. Plus they click clack a little bit when you jig.

      That's why I said it's very unrealistic.

      If that was tried I would guess that the Band would be in court very fast to get the boundary dispute settled. Then all of URL could be Bands waters. If you're going to poke a sleeping bear better be prepared for him to wake up.

      Well this is 5 years old but does talk about the long term history of the problem, not just Red Lake.   https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjyntGNzafmAhVsp1kKHXHkC44QFjADegQIBRAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.startribune.com%2Fmay-3-2013-fishy-trade-in-walleyes-persists-up-north%2F205903751%2F&usg=AOvVaw3ZqjwEw_5vfkNmB2fCEjN4

      I feel it would be best to shut down commercial fishing from red lake and simply have the natives follow the same regs as everyone else. You could say this is unrealistic, but you asked for what I think and this is my opinion. Another alternative I see is let the natives have lrl to do whatever they want with and compromise so everyone else gets access to the entirety of url with the same regs for everyone and a closing to commercial fishing. Then we see 20 years down the road how each lake is doing. This is obviously also very unrealistic, but I'd love to see it happend.

      Shouldn't there be some kind of tribal need number? After all, isn't this Hunting, fishing-gathering thing really all about subsistence living?  🤔

      So what do you feel should be the cap for the number of pounds of walleyes the Band can harvest from the Red Lakes?

      How Deep Is The Snow In The Woods?

      By mtheis · Posted

      I wish I could tell all of you I got a big one, but I talked myself out of it due to the deep snow.  Where I go up there there is no plowing, and I figured I had enough with a deer from Wisconsin and one from Michigan already.  Maybe next year!
