O.K. I've looked at this therad long enough without replying.

I get to listen to you men and women all day long talk about some of your favorite things, while I wish I was out doing it instead of listening to you.

I'm a manager for a Gander Mountain. It's kind of like being a bartender. I just sit back and listen to you vent, then walk you over to your cure................

I'm a technical services veterinarian for a major veterinary pharmaceutical company. If you give your dog a monthly heartworm preventive, there's a good chance that it is our product (it's the #1 product). If you apply a topical flea product to your dog or cat, it's probaby ours (it's also #1).

No, I don't treat fish even though my name is Dr Fish. I DO try to treat them to a good time on the end of my fishing line.

POS field service technician based in Fargo.

In other words, I drive an average of 3000 miles a month in the tristate area to grocery stores and restaurants fixing their computers, scanners, scales, printers, credit card readers, time clocks or whatever we contract for. Spend a week a month, 24/7 on call, walking customers in a 12 state area through getting their crashed businesses back up or dispatching a tech in the area to go onsite. Also a part-time Hewlett Packard rep at the retail level.

Prior to this I owned and operated a snowmobile/motorcycle/hunting-fishing store. After a 3rd "should have been killed but walked away" accident I decided crashing computers offered a better chance of staying alive. Have hunted and fished all my life with a few years off for the career change education.

Great to see you all here, and Thanks for all the hints and tips!

Office Manager at a Christian Publishing company. We only have about 30 employees, so that means I'm the "computer guy" & the "safety guy" & a wear a bunch of other hats too. Great place to work, but no serious fishermen to talk to & basically only one weekend a year deer hunters. The conversation on this website's a life saver.

Spent 24 years as a banker (loan officer) lending money to farmers and commercial customers. Got tired of all of the mergers and down sizing and so I retired. Started my own Sod Farming business four years ago, and have been having a blast!

Man, that took a long time to read. Now it's my turn to make it longer:

I'm an engineer for a manufacturing company in northern Minnesota. We design, manufacture, test and assemble driveline components (i.e. transmissions, axles, driveshafts, clutches, etc, etc.) for ATV's, snowmobiles, golf cars, utility vehicles, etc. Our major customers are Polaris, Arctic Cat, Bombardier, Yamaha, John Deere, Club Car, EZ-GO, Redline, so on and so forth. I don't want to bore you any more so I'll leave it at that. Oh, before I got married I was a professional liar, which is why I like fishing so much, but my wife has a way of knowing I'm going to lie before I even open my mouth so I had to clean up my act. Question to all you women out there: HOW DO YOU DO THAT??

well, it's my turn... I'm a sales manager/trainer for a direct sales company. Yes i'm the guy that teaches those bastards that call and ask you to let some stranger into your home and "just get your opinion". Well, it beats selling vacuums..oop's I forgot one of ours is "kinda" a vac\air filter. lol My real job is fishing in as many tourny's as possible so i can go pro... my motto is have walleyes? will travel.

I'd rather be fishing and think about church, than be at church and thinking about fishing!

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!
    • Kettle
      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      i like this site!!!!!  👍 thanks rundave......its in my favorites!!!!!!

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
