I recently received a couple cool products from Muck boots online to test out, that I think guys might find use full.I was excited to see them as a sponsor of FM. I already had heard of how good Muckboots are.I was a professional race horse groom a few years back and they are very popular with the horsemen crowd, and always thought they would be great product for the sportsman, so I asked if I could try some of their products.

The first is a pair of Muck Boots.

I already had heard of how good Muckboots are. I was a professional race horse groom a few years back and they are very popular with the horsemen crowd, and always thought they would be great product for the sportsman.
I got the Muckmaster boots. They are over the calf height and found them to be nice for wading along the shore and launching the boat at the muddy access I deal with along the MN River. The tread pattern gives you great traction yet does not get clogged up with mud .When I push my boat out from the muddy shore a few sloshes back and forth in the water clears the mud right off. I really like that. Its no fun fishing in a boat that has mud all over the floor. I can deal with a little fish slime. grin.gif The thing I like about them the most is they are really comfortable, unlike the old rubber boots I have . They have a cushy insole that is kind of springy and easy to walk in. A guy would have no problem walking all day in these boots. All though they are designed to be warm, my feet did not get too hot in the all rubber and neoprene construction. My feet sweat a lot and was impressed that the airmesh lining kept my feet from getting soaked with sweat. They are made from a neoprene fabric with real rubber 3/4 of the way up the boot .I think these will be very durable. I scrubbed the out side on some rock to see how they would hold up and if the soles would wear easily. It looks like they will hold up well as it didn’t mark up the rubber nor did the neoprene get snagged.
I believe these tough and very comfortable boots are going to be a hit with the outdoors man.

I also received a Bug Off jacket.

The mosquitos are not in full force yet but I think that this jacket with a fully enclose able hood will be very effective against those annoying little blood suckers. I am looking forward to putting it to a real test in the comming weeks. In the Mn River bottom where I fish the skeeters are very thick. Remember that Off commercial from the 70's with the guy in the tent full of skeeters? There is that many and your not in a tent!!With all the rain we have had in the past week I am sure they will be out in full force soon.
I never liked using bug spray as it makes my skin feel hot. The BugOff jacket has a very fine mesh that will keep the bugs out yet will still allow air in and out so you can stay cool on those hot nights .Its very loose fitting and does not stick to your skin,so I think it will do a great job keeping those pests off. Come on skeeters, do your best! smile.gif

They remind me of the boots I used to wear as a kid when I was cleaning the barn. They sound like an excellent idea for any sportsman. Would be great for hunting too if you happen to be in a low lying marshy area. Dennis did you find that they gripped real well in muddy, slippery conditions? I definitely plan on getting a pair.

I was at L&M in Cloquet last week and tried on a pair of the boots. I could not believe how comfortable light weight and flexable they are. The soles are strong enough for rocky shore fishing on the big pond as well as the mud.
I pondered it enough, I am getting a pair this weekend. The camp shoes are another possible purchase for me before summer ends.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   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"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
