Went out on East Battle lake and sat on 4" of ice to catch a couple eyes. It was exciting to catch fish through the Ice again. I would have rather shot up some geese, but what do ya do.

My dad and nephews are going up this weekend. How is the ice? I don't think they will be putting out the big shack yet though. Hope to get up a for a couple days over Christmas. Need to do my Christmas shopping this weekend.

Threeway~ You fish the Pine Lakes, also? cool.gif The great thing about fishing in Ottertail County is that you can catch walleyes many different places in waders. I do love my boat, too, though.

MY GOD, MJ.

All those guys and their fancy, expensive boats... stayin' miles away from the REAL action... and now yer encouraging them to come wading with us?

WHAT A PAL.

Next thing you know you'll switch yer avitar to that trusty portable ice shanty of yours, and everybody will be abandoning their permanent houses... running out screaming and horning in on our winter campouts.

Oh well, I guess the secret is out. Come to Ottertail County. We got ice.

FISH ON! cool.gif

Or maybe you fish West Battle Lake? or is it Long Lake by Vergas? Like I said, it's great to be in an area that allows many different locations for shore fishing and wading. grin.gif Did I mention, I still like my boat?

Good golly miss "MOLLY" that is a nice fish in your picture. I think i may know that spot too.... I'm pretty sure that my friend lets just call her "Annie" from over in "Battle" Lake and I used to fish that spot together all the time. But I could be wrong there are lots of places to fishin waders late in the year and in the spring especially a couple days prior to the full moon....

I think you guys are mistaken. I don't see any fish in my avatar; just a couple of penguins.

You know what i think I have fished that spot too... Just giving yah a little grief.. Anyway back to be being serious this snow is going to make ice travel a little difficult over the holidays might need to bring out the waders this weekend just to get out.... Flooded low spots/ sags in the ice this early in the year is not good. Make sure to check fish houses, going to be some big drifts around them now.

Good luck on OT I have a hot tip to follow up on. Sunfish big sunfish pounder plus. One guy all by himself on the lake last weekend caught his 20 in an hour that all weighed over a pound. If that doesn't pan (no pun) out i might go south and look for a rooster...

Anybody out in front of your house yet? DA RANGER says he thinks he might put his house out there this year but he doesn't have a clue where to go, I got a couple of spots but i thought I would let him terrorize your lake on his own...

Hope the lid can be kept on that 'gill bite.

No one in front of my house, but that is not unusual. I checked the ice sunday. 6 to 7 inches for the 1/2 mile or so I checked.

If he goes where the crowd is, he'll probably do ok.

Oh it will be kept tight, private lake no road access, only about 4 landowners and most of them don't even know there is sunfish in there. Got to see if it is true, find out tomorrow I guess.

MJ,

You're right, there are lots of places for wading fishing. Actually I have caught two of my biggest fish wading, 33, 30 incher. Let both go. But like you, I still like my boat.

Mullet? What's wrong with a mullet? The chicks dug it. ....Or maybe they just felt sorry for me.

Yep, the chicks dug mullets. I cant tease you too much, as there are lots of photos of me with my mullet from those days.

Wasn't having a mullet part of the school uniforms in those days, LOL.

When are you gonna get that fish house out of your yard, Bub?

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
