Belle Plaine Cat League


Recommended Posts

It was a great night and way to finish up the league.

Jerry and I had a blast once we got smart and got out of the wind. The best part was we started catching some great fish.

Brian,

Thank you for taking the time to coordinate the league and get everyone together. I had a blast with this being my first year. Hope you guys let me come play with you again next year.

To all the guys who were my boat mates, over the 5 weeks Dewy, Ryan, Jim D. Jim H and Jerry.

I learned a little something from all of you and had a blast meeting new fishing partners.

Thanks

LFC

Hi Brian, LFC and all you BP Leaguers,

This has been the highlight of my summer. I want to thank Brian for setting the league up and keeping it going. Thanks to you captains for so generously sharing your boats and knowledge with us rookies.

LFC -- Thanks for posting my picture. I think that was the hardest fighting fish I ever caught. What a thrill to share the boat with a 48 inch catfish. I never dreamed there were such big fish in Minnesota; it seems like we should have been out in the ocean. I hope you got a chance to tie into a sturgeon too. Don't worry about the buckets. I also forgot to give you the small minnows for your creek chubs.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the party. It will be interesting to compare notes. Thanks again everyone for all of your help and friendship.

A big THANK YOU to everybody on the league for making this a very enjoyable experiance for all. Congrats to Larry and Jerry for winning the overall points for the flats and channels respectively. The party is tentively planned for the 22nd, and details on where will be coming soon.

On a side note, I just recieved a phone call from fellow leaguer Jim Hooper, his son just got a 45" flatty on cut bait between Belle Plaine and Jordan while chasing channels on 20# test. I hope to have some pics soon smile.gif

Darren -- Thanks so much for hosting the party. I'm already looking forward to next year. This has been the most fun fishing and the best learning experience I've ever had. Thanks to all of you for getting me started on cats.

Are you referring to one that might involve Hooper?

If so, I never got it. frown.gif That's too bad, because it would've made everyone forget about a certain picture of somebody standing in the river in their underwear laugh.gif

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, 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. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
