Just a note to all who have been out on the water. Please keep posting and let us know if you catch anything or not. I for one,would like to hear from those that are lucky enough to be up on the "Big V" and still fishing. I check the web site every day and it mentally puts be back to the lake-as least for a while. I'm sure others are also watching this site. Hard water is on it's way. But I'd sure like to hear from you "die hards" until the ice starts to form on the lake and it's time to put the boat way.

Spent Sat and Sun around Norwegian and Wakemup bays, sort of my bonus "after deer hunting" excursion (who ever heard of fishing walleye AFTER deer hunting?).

Caught a few small eyes, and ALMOST my first 30" on Vermilion. She was just over 29", but couldn't quite stretch her to reach the 30" mark. So close, but yet so far!

Hey Jim,
There are still some of us "Die Hards" out fishing, but now it looks like the party is just about over.

We are expecting some cold and snow on monday,....I guess I can't complain to much afterall......I'll be fishing the 17th of november on open water. smile.gif

The walleyes were not as hot today as they have been, but we still managed to catch about 15 fish today.

Most were in the 14 to 18" range, we also caught a bonus 38" pike and a few perch. Jigs and minnows in 25 to 40ft
caught all the fish.

I plan on doing some muskie fishing the next few days, I'm still looking for a big girl to finish my season on a high note. The high for tomorrow is 59, you just gotta love it... smile.gif

Hey Ace,I'll be watching this board for your "last call" before the party official ends. Good luck on ending on that high note.

      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! 🤗

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow
