One of those days...

Recommended Posts

Ever had one of them days where you woke up refreshed before the alarm clock went off. When you went to the kitchen and breakfast was made and sitting under the warmer on a warm plate and the wife was already gone for the day. You go out and start the truck and you are already pointed in the direction of your first errand. You hit every light on a green and a car pulls out of a first row parking space at the store just in time for you to pull in. You enter the store just as the bakery is passing out free donuts just minutes from the oven. You pass the meat dept. just as they are putting porterhouse steaks at half price out in the cooler. A pretty girl winks at you in Dairy and when you turn around there is no one behind you and she really was winking at you. You make it to checkout and find out you are the stores winning customer and you get a 100.00 gift card and your groceries are bagged and carried to your truck. Ever had one of them days when you go to the car wash and find a stack of quarters and time left on the hose.

Ever had one of them days when you go to the express line at the bank and there really is someone there who knows what they are doing. Later in the day the cable guy shows up at 1pm when the appointment was from 1 till 5 he then upgrades all your wiring for free, and is done in 30 minutes cuz the head linesmen is working with him that day. Ever had one of them days that you are halfway though and realize that nothing is sore on you. Ever have one of those days when your bud calls and says he won a 4 day flyin fishing trip for two and you are the first person he called and you are free that weekend, Ever had one of them days?.....me neither.

Had a nice weekend trip planned to fish pannies a few weeks ago so I left work in a hurry. Left my cell phone on my desk and didn't notice until I was 10 minutes/ almost a-third the way home so I want to make a left to hurry back and get my phone so I can leave for my trip and the guy in front of me is hemming and hawing and finally decides to go thru the yellow/red and I'm flustered so I go through too - which I never do usually - and there waiting for me to go through....the coppers...and he U-turns to nab me and won't take my sob story and now I'm $115 poorer plus gotta take an online traffic school course. And on the way to fishing I stop at the casino and lose $300 trying to recoup my ticket cost and worst of all the weekend fishing stunk!

Ever have one of those days? I did.

Just yesterday I had one of those days smirk.gif I begged to get let out of work early even though we're busy as heck because a girl I dated in HS was in Brainerd for a couple days and wanted me to come visit her. I left work, picked my son up from daycare and went to gas up. I figured, "Full tank and discount on a wash, might as well.." After the car wash was through I went to start the truck and be on my way. Turned over and over and over and I thought, "Oh no. Not again." Yep. Again. The fuel pump is out. I just changed it during the 100 degree heat wave we had this Summer and for some odd reason, bad karma. So I call my brother at work and he says it'll be a bit before he can tow me. I need a vehicle to use til I fix the fuel pump again and happen to see a car lot not far from where I am. So I grab the kid and head over there. I end up buying an 83 Dodge Diplomat for $850. I go back to the car wash and see my truck is in the way a bit so I try to push it away. Twang goes my back. So, now not only is my truck broken and I'm out 850 I don't really have, but now every time I move wrong I get the wind kicked out of me. Splendid day. I was really looking forward to seeing her again too. She got hot! wink.gif

Nah, I've never had one of those days either, but I've had some good one! Yesterday was one of them...got to hook up with my middle son and go fishing.

It was a beauty of a day and the colors of late fall, the golds, yellows and browns were excellent in the sunshine.

We seen hawks, turkeys, deer, swans, pheasants and a bunch of other wildlife that seemed to be enjoying the day as much as we were.

We got to our fishing spot and after a little trial and error, figured out how to get into the walleyes, which we proceeded to do. Not a whole bunch, we landed 5 and not really big, up to 21 inches, but we had a ball in between!

We got some huge carp that snarfled in fathead minnows and gave us a rush...2 in the 10-12 pound range and one a tad smaller, bullhead, crappie, sunnie and northern rounded out the day....a 10 pound carp on 4 pound test and an ultralight rod is ultra hard to land, but we did!

We beat the evening traffic back into town, and we even won on a scratch off. Hit more then 50% of the lights, didn't experience any road rage, didn't get shot and made it to the polling booth on time. Pretty good day I'd say!

That is the way we should all look at life, but it's not always easy. I'm looking for one of those days where I see "da turdy pointer" and he offers me a good shot with my bow and I drop him in his tracks.

Have a good day guys,

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
