Hey guys, going up to nine mile lake camping and noticed that Echo lake next door has Atlantic Salmon. Any tips on catching one? Is it even possible this time of year? Any help would make me and the little one super happy.
Thanks,
Andy

Scouting through the woods I found a very old and definitely abandoned deer stand. They are everywhere. I usually like to poke around the old ones to see what might have been left behind. I found this old coffee can with wire woven into the bottom. I've never been a hunter but am assuming that this was a home-made "stove" for keeping warm on a cold fall day. However, I'm far from an expert so I leave it to the internet.
What is this?

Over the weekend I caught a few small silver fish that I'm certain were shiners. Only thing was that they squeaked defensively when I touched them. I never heard of this happening and the few people I asked just looked at me like I was from Mars. "Squeaky shiners? You drank the lake water, didn't you?"
This was on Mille Lacs if that helps. The shiners looked like the common variety with the rounded face and derpy expression, a few of them had minor freckling or stripes.
Basically this...

Trolling with my main motor the min speed is 2.9 mph. Would like to get that closer to 1.8. I have a good electric motor but want to be able to troll with the main motor as well. Not going to get a kicker. Don't like the idea of putting the electric in the water as resistance. Don't want to troll backwards (though I can get really slow that way). Other options I have seen:
1 or 2 drift socks off the front thinking that is sort of a hassle.
Trolling plates I read that sends prop wash down and sideways and can disturb the fish or your fish finder.
Wonder if a different prop would work?
Anyone have an opinion / experience with this?

I went out to Medicine lake yesterday and there were dead panfish discarded all over the place. I don't know who or why but it was such a waste, plus one little sunny was obviously cut up as bait... And then I found a huge PILE of about 20 fish behind a building. There are signs posted and reminders everywhere, only 5 panfish/crappies per person. This looked deliberate, like a middle finger to authority.
I was furious and now I'm just sad. I took pictures and I want to do something about it but I have no idea what. 😩

Finally able to get out. Took my daughter and boyfriend bass fishing for a few hours. Caught 13 and had many tail boils. Neither had caught a bass before so loads of fun. Using poppers, shallow diver crawfish and vibrex spinners. All caught in 4 feet or less casting rocky shorelines. Nothing large with the biggest 2 1/2 lbs. After found a few walleyes hanging out along deep weed lines in 15-18 feet. One 19” and the other 26”. Walleyes are transitioning out to deep water. Also mayfly hatch happened last weekend. Water temp at 68-69 degrees. -

Back from a week. Tough fishing for us. Scratched together enough for a fish meal, but it was hard work. Tried just about everything between Taylors Island and Fraser Bay. Huge mayfly hatch in Niles Bay early during the week. Hit a few northern and some smallmouth.. . Covered a lot of miles, fished hard, and it just never turned on for us... Oh well... Till next time... -

6/2/21 Catching lots of walleyes and bonus smallies on Mille Lacs. On shallow to mid-depth rocks the first few weeks, now deep gravel or mud when it is calm/clear and mid-depth rocks when it is windy and cloudy. Caught several of the elusive slot fish during the open period, kept and ate a few. Catch and release now and remember closed walleye fishing and no live bait July 1-15. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere. -

6/16/21 Catching bass, pike, sunfish, and crappies on west Metro area lakes. Starting to see a few muskies as well. Water temps in the low to upper 70s depending on the lake. Still catching fish in shallow to mid-depth depending on the lake. Good luck and I will see you out there somewhere. -

Congrats! Bummer that the dead fish was the difference especially if it was healthy and swimming when you entered the bay! What weight did you have pre deductions and what was your fish/weight breakdown? Curious what people were catching... Did you fish the same spots on tourney day as you did in prefishing? and if you don't mind sharing did you fish crosslake or make it out to whitefish? Sorry for the questions but I always am interested on the where, how, and how many in this tourney but never stick around for the long drawn out awards handout... -

Got back yesterday. Found some really nice bass and a lot of them, both large and small mouth in the 15"-17" range. Found a couple of walleye, 14" and 15". Had a great time as usual and the weather was calm for much of the time we were there. Had most success with slip bobber and leeches/crawlers. -

Headed up this afternoon for a solo weekend. Throwing for Musky but might pull some cranks or spinners and see what happens.
