I've heard there is about twenty something teams that fish the entire circuit. On top of that, I'm not sure. Heard that they had about 75 teams up at whitefish a couple weeks ago.

Hopefully they get a bunch in this one.

Guess We'll find out tongue.gif

Chub, why get your money? All you may need is one fish and you could be in the top 10 places to get your entry back.

I'll sell you a fish wink.gif $1.25 per OZ. LOL

good luck guys i was on green most of friday. Only 1 smallie 14", 2 walleyes, No pike, oh ya 1 rock bass.

I didn't say I wanted my money back. I think I'm good for one fish....LOL grin.gif Wow what a tough bite. What kinda boat were you in? I'm sure we may have crossed paths.

Way I got it figured, if nothing else, I'm gonna catch sunfish and rock bass tongue.gif

Chub what boat where you in? Or what place did you end up? I was out fishing in that tourney too. It was a tough bite, I didnt catch my first fish until 11AM and then it was a 13" one too. Later I got a fish to bring in but thats all. I missed a few fish also but all-in-all it was tough.

Tough is an understatement. I know there are those that say walleye fishing has never been better out there, but to those people, I say you must have never caught much to begin with.

We caught two fish.(walleyes) Came in 11th.

The lake is full of an unbelievable amount of forage right now, but there seems to be a lack of walleyes.

If it woulda been a sunfish tourny I would have done better tongue.gif The lake is full of sunfish.

You came by me two weeks ago when I was up on top of the haystack jigging in the weeds putting on a rock bass clinic...lol.

Ok, I know which boat you were in.

Lol, we need a rock bass tournament! I caught so many of those stupid things it gets sickening! I even catch them on a #7 Shad Rap trolling! I call those things "red lake walleyes" b/c they're all over. That and your right, there is a lot of sunfish too.

For the tourney we weighed one 19" fish and caught one other that was 13". Also missed about 4 other fish so it was kind of disappointing.

coulda been worse, I know a few of the guys that came from out of town paid for motels and all that fun stuff, fished for days........and never caught zip crazy.gif

I'm sure most of the out of towners have crossed Green off their walleye vacation hotspots...LOL

I tried shad rappin' for about a hundred feet and caught sunfish and largemouth bass tongue.gif

It was a miserable bite.

I'm gonna try to catch some of those big sunnies though. Some guys with cameras also said they saw a fair amount of crappies too.

I keep telling myself that I am going to go out on green with my ultra light and go after some huge panfish. But its either the challenge of the walleyes or the fight of the smallies that gets me. tongue.gif

I also thought I seen a few crappies out there. But then again, are they crappies or rock bass? They look close to the same on the camera but then again Im going to have to get my ultra light out one day and just find out! grin.gif

LOL, I think that tourney scared away some people. It was still fun for me since it was only my second tourney. Im still waiting for that panfish tourney though! Im going to troll #7 Shad raps to get them too! HAHA

      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!!!   🤣

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I'll bet she's better at it!!!!
