That works. My vacation is getting busy quickly, but I am for sure getting some fishing in smile. I'll admit, I have never been to pool 4 or have any idea where it is, so I'm up for checking it out! grin

Looking for a fishing buddy(ies) for my dad...

My dad, Jerry, is going to be 74 in Sept. and lives in the S. Metro.

He's been my fishing buddy for a long time and we still do go on the weekends sometimes.

In addition to our trips, he has always liked to go during the week because the landings here in the metro aren't as busy. He has always just gone out alone.

Last May he had a stroke. Fortunately, you'd never guess - even the day after. It only affected his peripheral vision. Unfortunately that means he hasn't been able to drive for the last year - which of course means he hasn't been able to go fishing during the week. This week he has a dr. appt. to find out if his vision has improved enough to drive again.

If his vision hasn't improved, I'd like to see if I could find him a fishing buddy to go out with during the week. Someone who doesn't necessarily have a boat - the person could always go to my dad's house and they would take dad's car and boat. If they do have a boat they could take turns.

If it has improved - they could still go out fishing - I think the family would feel better if my dad wasn't going out alone.

If you would be willing, it wouldn't have to be a standing weekly thing. I'm looking for someone my dad could meet

beforehand - see if they got along, have dinner or something and take it from there. I don't think my dad (or my family) would go for having a total stranger showing up at the house

the first time ready to drive the car and boat.

He loves fishing and he loves to talk. He's got a lot of good stories - he was in the Air Force for 22 yrs. and loves airplanes. He's not much of a drinker but he's not an ol' fuddy dud either.

We don't like seeing him sitting around the house day after day and think going fishing a little more often would help his outlook. I've not told him about this post because I don't want to get his hopes up.

If you might be interested, you can either post here or email me at [email protected].

Thanks,

patti

You are quite the kid Patti. I would love to take him out if I had weekdays off it would be an honor. Hopefully somone on this board will be able too. My Dad's that age as well I know what you're going through. Good for you for looking out for him.

Thanks MNGirl. I mentioned to him today he could take the Penn Ave bus to Lake Harriet and do that.

Are you going on the Womens trip to Mille Lacs?

Hi Patti, I would be interested in helping your father get on the water a little more often. I am from Minnetonka and have been really occupied being a husband and father of 3 for the last 6yrs and have neglected my fishing time. I sold my boat 2yrs ago so might work out ok if you are still looking for someone to accompany your father. Let me know.

I'm contemplating on going up to Mille Lacs this weekend to do some walleye fishing, but not sure of what day. I'm not the greatest walleye fisherman, actually still in the learning phase. So if you don't mind my skills, and you'd like to develop another friendship, your more than happy to join me. But if your interested in joining me, please let me know. I have a 1988 16' 10" Bass Tracker boat I was planning on taking, this boat is more of a low plan bass boat, so if you don't mind that and would like to join me you can contact me at psourasinth @ deltak dot com.

      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.
