Wind dying down


Willy

Recommended Posts

Where are ya Windy? I'd like to hear from ya a little bit. Sox are healthy and not living up to their championship status, and the poor little punch and judy Twins are plagued with injuries, yet are passing by the World champs and now have the division in their sights with a big series coming up this weekend at the baggy dome.

Any thoughts? I still think the WC is going to come down to that last series of the year, but I could be wrong? grin.gif

Yep, I had too much respect for him I think, and gave him too much credit. Haven't heard much at all from him since his famous prediction before his fishing vac. Hey, wait a minute, doesn't Windy always say it's like a rollercoaster? I guess he can't take the "downs" as well as he'd like us to believe. Now I'm starting to think that all you guys who claim he only struts when the WSox are rolling uphill might be right after all.

C'mon Windy, own-up to reality and how your team has been PUTTING IT ON THE BOARD lately. Man, I'm starting to like that saying after all. It is so great to hear the dejection in that smug-toned arse Harrelson. Last night it was all "if you had told me....." about how the BoSox could shutout the WSox the first 4-5 innings in 2 straight. Man, it was beautiful. Not to mention how Dye has cooled off. Shoot, I'm not even afeard anymore when Crede comes to the plate.

Here's my prediction: So long as the WSox are outta the WCard, we won't be hearing anything from our "third" city brethren. He just can't bring himself to admit defeat.

Buzz, if you don't have a new running mate by now.......

And I forget our other WSox fan's handle - the guy from MN who visits Chi-town - haven't heard much from him either I don't think. Where are you?

Is today really ANOTHER chance this year the WSox will be SWEPT? C'mon BoSox!

I think he must be back up to Cass lake... grin.gifblush.gif

I can't believe the Twins are actually ahead of the Champs with all the triple A pitchers we've been marching out to the mound and the fact that radke is probably done for the year, Liriano has been out for a while and no Stewart all year.... To think the Twins have the best record in the majors since the beginning of June is crazy... and in the toughest division in baseball at that.

Classic Sled!!

I for one am very impressed with the way Boof has pitched in a time that we NEED good outings. Our bullpen is the best the league has seen for some number of years.

Just think, every time Silva is on the mound is an auto-loss and we are still leading the WC going into the last few weeks of the year.

I just wish ole Windy would come out of hiding and let us know where he sits or in this case hides. grin.gif

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.
    • mbeyer
      what do they look like this spring?

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      👍. What was the water temp in Black Bay? Thanks....
    • Brianf.
      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      So, that was you in the camo lund? I'm bummed, I have to head back to the cities tomorrow for a few days, then back up for at least a few weeks. Got the dock in and fired up to get out chasing some crappies till opener!

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
