The Good and The Bad


Recommended Posts

The good is our favorite site is back up and running, thanks again be to Rick for all his efforts, unbelievable you got hacked, that [PoorWordUsage] should get a hobby...maybe cliff diving! The bad is this lame weather, has'nt messed things up too bad up here yet though. More good has been the fishing. Everyone I know has been getting plenty of fish at most of the usual places. Alot of those small saugers out in front of pine/zippel in the deeper water to keep folks busy. I tire of that easy so I've been mainly fishing eyes in the afternoons till dark on a couple of waypoints near graceton in 13 to 14 foot of water. been pretty good there most evenings, some days 10 somedays 30, tonite we got 17 for the 2 of us. these were almost all 18" clones of one another. Last friday my wife got a 28 incher which she released, what a girl! Was on 12 mile last week twice and did okay, should do better in the coming weeks! Monday and Tuesday being it was so nice we went on a perch search leaving the otter at home. Monday we sleded out to waypoint near the Border reef, fished in 30 feet and did okay, I managed to bring home 6 nice ones and ate them all myself! Tuesday we hit a couple waypoints on the flats between Arnesons and 16 mile and did a bit better, keeping 11. We also caught sauger and a few small walleyes both days. Perch fishing will only get better out here. My computer did the crash thing again early last week, then the forum was screwy so I have'nt posted in a week or so, but they're working now so I'll keep you posted. Been on the pond everyday since new years day, wifes making me stay home tomorrow what a drag! I'll be back out friday, possibly going to URL...Have'nt eaten Crappies since spring...about time!<P>Regards....Fisky

The crack at Babbler's is nasty. Reports of it being open 8 to 10 feet in places. We are going to take hang gliders from the jetty this weekend. We need some cold weather.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗
