The Non-Profit Wright County Anglers of the Midwestern Part of America Association or "The T.N.P.W.C.A.O.T.M.P.A.A"(...not to be confused with the PWT)...is that too long? grin.gif

So how many boats are locked in, and how many people?

Maybe its in the previous posts, I am just too lazy to read all of them.

Marks prop shop over in Forest Lake. Marks the best aluminium welder I've ever seen. He is worth the drive. I used to work in a tool and die shop, we made some aluminium molds and had use of his talents.

He (Mark's Prop Shop) has already worked on my boat...twice! I used to live in Columbia Heights...it was a lot closer. I just wanted to find someone closer to me here in Monticello. Actually, there is a guy who works on aluminum boats...and he lives right on the Mississippi in town. I met him at his work (elevator manufacturer) when I was delivering freight to him. We got to talking about his incredible mounts and photos and he told me he works on boats on the side. He actually modifies jet boats (for river use)...gonna look him up.
But thanks for the tip anyway, Fishface. (Do you really look like a fish? grin.gif)

Just bought my licenses for 2004 and picked up the regs booklet. I noticed under the DNR Fishing Contest guidelines (the one that states a permit is required for events that exceed 30 participants, $25,000 in prizes and/or $25 entry fee, which we already knew) it also stated that "a permit from the county sheriff is required for most organized events on water or ice."

Just thought you might want to know...(if you didn't already) grin.gif -- Andy

Yep I saw that too. I think I'll wait till the first meeting to call the sheriffs office, that way I can ask more specific questions.

Ok guys, The first meeting will be at Buffalo Bar and Grill March the 6th at 12:30pm. They have a large room with large tables that way we arent all crowded in several differant booths and we can all sit at one table. I will send out an email in a few days as a reminder. If you have any questions just send me an email.

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   The limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  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...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   seafood???   I'd try seafoam!!!   🤣
