I'll never tell...

 

I'd agree contract can make a difference.   That's why black or white are often good colors.

 

I think I already spent my entire bait budget on jigs, plastics,  tackle ou organizers, etc.  Guess I'll have to bum some minnows of a buddy again this winter.  ?

Maybe the gang can pop over to the boarder?  That would be fun. Or the perch holes?. Good company and fun time.

Thanks I looked at them but didn't pull trigger yet. They do look encourageing. I have a few questions how do they fish? U try them yet? My concern was weight issues for deeper water aplications getting down faster so to speak.  I do have a few perch lakes that are shallow that they might be the ticket on.

  

I got the chance to use them last year while they were being field tested. They fish very similar to a Z-vibe. They were fine on the drop on their own in about up to 10ft. Beyond that I used SuspenDots from Storm tackle. https://www.cabelas.com/product/Storm-SuspenDots/701876.uts. They really helped getting the bait down.

I grabbed a couple from widow maker lures and loved them. they call it widow bread and all the polka dot jigs glow. Really does make a guy wonder why do the gills and crappies like it. Used last summer also. Only one left so better get more.

Bought these last month at a local ice show right from the the Widow Maker booth. looking forward to hopefully using them soon:

I'm a kid at Heart ? Played with the Garmin Live scope today total Game changer I have ran a Panoptix and was amazed but the live scope blew me away!!!! I knew exactly the direction the schools were heading and how big the schools were. Saw two different times pike charge in and try and swipe a gill from me .Cool thing is seeing all around your hole the amount of fish sitting outside of the cone angle of your standard Vexilar.  Totally astonished how detailed this unit  is but for the price I guess it should be. You can actually see the fins moveing as you sit and watch the fish sitting there by your hook. Boy have times changed in the industry I rmeber using buck horns eye fishing as a kid and today Im playing with this.?

Amazing stuff that’s for sure. Buried a jig in my thumb at the end of the day. It was so cold I hardly felt it. Jerked it out and left a bunch a red dye on the ice. Sheesh. Lol

Sorry, I'm laughing with you not at you.  I had to have a treble dug out of my thumb at the hospital at midnight night Walleye trolling.  I tried with a pliers but it was just to deep. ?

Garmin Panoptix 

 

This technology in the wrong hands, especially when fished with large groups, sadly could decimate populations. If you ask me it takes away the "fair chase" argument. I'm sure my concerns aren't alone.

      Back in the 70s when a bunch of us early teenagers would go to the SportShow, we figured out the flies never got down to the trout with all the moving water. A little split shot solved that problem. 😆

      Nice looking pictures. Makes me want to jump on the snowmobile.

      Friday was a beautiful day on Vermilion.  The fresh snow and high winds made pretty drifts on the lake, as long as you weren't trying to travel off plowed roads.  Watched a large 4x4 truck travel off road and it hit some very large drifts, but didn't get stuck.  Not too many houses were left but many new ones were being pulled out onto the lake for the weekend.  Was a nice view at dark seeing all the lights on the lake.   Fishing was average.  I had to shovel snow off of our mobile home roof so I didn't get out until 10am.  Was a decent bite at 11am, and then from 330-415pm, but other than that it was very quiet for me.  Vermilion Fuel and Food finally had shiners so I tried those and caught most of my fish on them.   Good luck fishing, be very courteous if you use plowed roads, and be careful if you travel off road.

      We went from no snow to enough quickly. I will have to go check out the lakes with updates on which ones have plowed roads around. Be safe and bring a shovel.

      Last Friday, it was still pretty busy for a week day.   I've gotten a few out of there over the years.

      Back to the food?? I'll definitely have beer, chips and salsa,  pizza maybe some fries and wings. Just junk food it out all day.   Watching the NFL honors sh I w now. Not a big Dnoop Dogg fan but he doing alright.  Loved the Belechek joke about his young girlfriend.

      When did you go out there leech.  I drove by there 2 weeks ago and it was packed and heard they were snapping.    Not much for trout as an eater fish  
    • leech~~
      I did actually spend a day over on Big Watab giving it a shot for Rainbows.  Tried about 5 different spots, saw one rainbow and one pike come through.  Had two Wardens roll in and check my license, he said hardly anyone was getting anything.  That seems to be the way that lake is, either on or off!  He did ask me where I was from I said Sartell, he said oh your license says Brooklyn Center? I said oh we moved there about a year ago, my wife must not have reminded me to change it?  He laughed, I laughed. 😄 He said make sure you change it when you renew it this time!  🤨  🤭
