Especially when you aren't going anywhere. I'm actually getting rid of the internet service for awhile. The Mrs. Mistermom and I are going into money saving mode to save up for a property buy. So we are cutting out some expenses.

Oh I suppose I could go get a job and do my surfing at work like a lot do; but I'm not that ambitious. I will probably pop into the library and use the computor there every so often. Wally says I should hook up with netzero. I might look into that too.

Now if you will excuse me I need to get ready for tomorrow. I'm going drinking/fishing with "The Bronson Boys." We are gonna run a 35 horse 2 stroke on Basswood Lake and then have a smallmouth fish fry..... Just kidding! Later Folks!

Why eat the whole smallmouth, when it's really only the top half of the back-fillet that's any good? Trick is - ya gotta catch big ones - 18" and up, or the meat-take just isn't worth it. wink.gif

See ya 'round.

There is no end to stuff I haven't heard of. I will look into the Junea and Netzero thing. Thanks!

What about the pile of money you roll around in the basements. Surely some of that could be forked over for some internet.

Sorry Sci!
School district needed more money so the pile of money went into higher property taxes. Maybe I could come hang out with you at work and post there?

Also checked into the Junea and Netzero. Alas, I am a Mac user and it isn't free for Macs. Curse you Bill Gates!

See you around Aqua!

My service is supposed to get cut off today. So I am hyper-posting until it is gone or Hennepin County comes and hauls me away for child neglect.

There has to be a 12 step program out there somewhere, if not there needs to be one grin.gif

For some reason or another Qwest hasn't shut me down. This could be like a farewell tour or a going out of business sale and just go on and on and on.......

mistermom,
Did you have any luck finding a free ISP? You can't really give up the internet, can you? I think your addicted, just like the rest of us... grin.gif

That is the problem. It is to addicting. I haven't got a boss here to tell me to knock it off and get some work done (until Mrs. Mistermom gets home).

Hey Ghotierman! As long as I'm still functioning here have you ever fished Guerney (sp) Lake this time of the year? It is the first lake that the Sauk River flows into after leaving Osakis. I've heard that the walleyes stack up where the river flows in and its a nice shore fishing spot. I would like to try it next time I'm out there. Later folks.

Mistermom,
I live in Sauk Centre and haven't really heard anything going on Guerney lately. The opener of 2001 a lot of guys caught a lot of walleyes in the current. Since then I haven't heard anything except there was an excellent crappie and sunny bite last winter. I did catch my largest dogfish to date out of Guerney, they are thick in the whole Sauk River chain between Osakis and Sauk. Good luck.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
