Weekend / Monday Fishing!

[Papa Woodie]

Who's all going to be out on the river? Weather according, i hope to be out Sat/Sun/Mon early morning for a good 'ol walleye bite!

Launching off Boy Scout (as early as i can. Last weekend i waited in line with truck and trailer about 200 yards down Hwy 23 to fetch my boat!)...

Anyone else going out on the river, or are some turning to lakes now?

I'll be on channels 16/17....

Hope to hear from some of ya!

I'll be going out on Fish Monday to prefish for league, and fishing on Fish Tuesday.

I'll be out on the pond Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday (weather permitting) we'll put in at Park Point. If not there we'll prob try the harbor for 'eyes. My Dad will be in town from Illinois so we're gonna try to get on some fish somewhere!

[Northlander]

I think Ill have Bill and Al from Midwest Rods out on the River and Probably the south shore Sat and Sun. We will be testing out some rods. If anyone wants to try out some Midwest Rods this weekend give me a holler.

Ill also be out tonight and Friday night. Ill have channel 16 on.

[musky hunter]

I'll be out on and off all weekend. Since the river is so close, I generally make short but more frequent trips as weather conditions and time constraints dictate. Sorry, no radio in my boat yet, but it's a Smokercraft 175 Ultima. If you see me out there pull up and say hi.

[Tom Linderholm]

Looks like I am taking some of our owners from Grand Superior Lodge out on Saturday (customer relations trip) and leaving Loonsfoot around 7:30-8:00am. Give me a shout and we can share our findings. South Shore or BUST!!!

I plan on fishing the big lake most of the weekend with the river, harbour being the back up if the wind kicks me off. Steve does midwest rods make trolling rods and rigger rods for the big lake?

[Surface Tension]

Steve, I'd like to see those rods. I'll give you a ring later.

If the weathers right I may hit the big lake this weekend if not prolly hit Fish or Rice.

I'll be out on the big pond Sat Am also. If you see 2 guy's in a white Starcraft, sitting back and enjoying the ride that would be us!! Give me a holler on 16. Northlander those rod's sound nice, I'll have to give one a try one of these day's.... Strat... Ps. Where is loons foot landing, and how big is it???

[Xplorer]

Looking at being out on the MN side of superior saturday morning also, with the harbor/lower river as a backup. Hope the winds are kind to do a little trolling on the pond.

Dont have the VHF installed yet, will be in a green lund/90 honda.

Strat, Loons foot is just off east 2nd street in Superior. If your heading out of town it's just before you cross the Namadji river. There is a spur station there also.

The launch is big enough to launch any size boat and it has spots for 4 boats to put in at a time. It could use more parking though. There are a lot of spots but a lot of people use it.

[Northlander]

Bill and Al backed out for the weekend so Im sorry no rods to demo. Randy they make all sorts of rods. Just about anything you would ever need.

Loonsfoot is in Superior on Hwy 2 just before the Nemadji River. There is a ton of parking and the landing itself is as good as any around. You need to pay to launch or just get a seasons pass like I do. Saves ya a lot of money. You can get them at ICO on HWY 2 and I think other stations as well.

[Papa Woodie]

Northlander (or anyone), have you ever used the "Prop Shop" on hwy 53 right out of town? Are they any good, or is it best to spend the extra 20 bucks in shipping and have solderblooms do their magical work?

This is my first year on the river, and with 2 weeks fishing under my belt on it, only 1 prop is pretty darn good! Just got to keep my eye on the skeg!

[musky hunter]

I have had good luck in limited dealings with the prop shop. Got good advice from Eric and when a prop I bought just didn't work with my rig he promptly exchanged it for another no questions asked. I dropped off a crunched prop last Saturday and will pick it up soon. I trust them to do a good job but the proof will be when I put the repaired prop on and check out the performance.

[Papa Woodie]

It's not badly damaged, couple pieces taken out about the size of the half diameter of a pencil. Unfortunatly, it's enough to cause vibration, and i want to get 'er fixed before shaft gets bent.

unfortunately, i believe they charge the same amount if you have a slight ding, or if you are missing a whole blade.

Do you remember what you paid? It's a prop off a 50 horse merc...so not all that large.

[Northlander]

Prop shop does good work but I prefer Jay Soderbloom. 1st because he is a sponsor of FM and second he has become a good friend. He does great work and stands behind his work 100%. You wont find a more stand up guy!

If you dont want to pay the shipping get the prop to me and Ill get it to Jay. Jay is a bit cheaper as well.

[Papa Woodie]

Do you know the turnaround time?

(may have to purchase a 2nd prop depending on that)....i know i know...i should always have a second prop anyways.

[Northlander]

Woodie I may be able to have it done as I wait. If not it should only take a day or 2. He can also order you a prop at a great price. As you said you should always have 2. Let me know and I should see him this weekend.

[musky hunter]

Woodie:

The Prop Shop repair of my 115 Merc prop will cost me $55. Turn a round time less than a week. I have a spare prop, so it really isn't much of a issue for me, I just haven't been up to get my prop since it was promised to be ready yesterday.

[Papa Woodie]
