We're all deadweights


Recommended Posts

Every light bulb is lit except for ours. Are you all at LOW? Don't blame you. I fished the bridge Friday night. I graphed fish numberous times, but only got one northern to bite. This was all after dark. I'll be heading down to Maple in the next week or two. I'll let you know how I do.

Lip Ripper, I think I've figured you out. In fact, I Know you. Your head coach REALLY knows me. He fealt my butt every play in high school football. We went fishing at UNION last summer. If memory serves, you caught all the fish, but the lake took your sunglasses and our anchor.

If you are who I think you are, I stop at your neighbor's house every morning that I drive to school. AM I right or what?


Boy this will really be embarassing if you're somebody else.

Crappie Killer, what do you normally fish out of on Maple/Union? I'll look for you. Nice post on the Canada thread!

Once the season settles in it gets pretty
quiet here. There are many many excellent
opportunities on the rivers near town (take
a tour and see the locations of fishhouses).

The local fishers who put in the time to
stay in touch with the fish will do pretty well all winter. There are times the river
will give up the fish to everyone but the
dead of winter isnt one of them.

Do the work, reap the benifits. Good Fishin

Hey, Crappie Killer. I don't really want to hear how Mac grabbed your butt in high school but I'm sure he enjoyed it. Yep, Union took my sunglasses and my hat. We'll have to do that again sometime. Keep in touch.

Lip, you coach fb. I trust you realize how personal the center/quarterback relationship can be smile.gif I'm sure he'll tell you it was quite a treat!

Good Luck

Hemlock, yes my in-law's have a cabin on Union, so I'm there quite often. I really enjoy that lake, especially on a weekday. I only get to Maple and Sarah a couple times a year. Have the crappies been biting on Maple yet?

Mac always said he would have went to state that year had it not been for his lack of concentration from staring at your a--.

The guys I know, myself included, generally don't keep any. Usually I don't catch enough in an afternoon to make it worth my time. Even if I did catch a bunch, I don't know if I would. The fish aren't glowing or anything, but a lot of farm chemicals find there way to the Red.That's a good question to ask, I've wondered how many fish are kept/released too.

I've still got a bunch of LOW walleye I got to eat yet! Hasn't it been fantastic up there?

Last year I heard reports of guys taking over 100 walleyes by themself through the ice. I don't totally agree with it but to each their own I guess. They are fine to eat though.

Lip Ripper, I assume you are saying they caught and ate 100 walleyes over the course of the year? To each their own, as you say. I don't think I eat more than 20 walleys in a year (all LOW).

I've heard stories like that also. That 3rd eyeball they grew looks nice smile.gif

Seriously, I guess I have eaten walleye from the river a few times, and can't tell the difference from LOW fish. It's probably all in my mind

I was told that a person shoudn't eat more than one meal of fish per month out of the "rivers" because of polutants. Makes sence because of all the fertilizers being used.

Crappie K, I have only been to Maple once early in the year. There was 10" of ice, so whenever that was. We didn't do very well, and I've been waiting for the action to pick up again before I head back out. Been busy with LOW in the mean time, can't complain there!

Do people eat many fish caught in the river, or is it all c & r?

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
