ha. Right on man. First, i think I am the only person I've talked to that was really not at all bothered by 100+ degrees.

Today, it's 57 degrees. (I'm from the twin cities). This is ridiculous.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I haven't been up there since the WI opener... but that week they were definitely all over the place.

Went for crappies in a known crappie bay, slammed the pike on crappie and...

74% Dixie. My neck indeed is a little rosy... That's a relief. I never wanna lose that part of me :D

Ditto that. Whether it's a youngster or someone who happens to be your father... helping out a fellow angler provides a great feeling of personal satisfaction. (My dad's not been fishing much since...

"PS The state hospital is in Willmar. This is where they take you if they see ya dump vinegar in BBQ" As a current MN resident who grew up in Abingdon, VA... this is refreshing. Doubt too many of my...

"Personally, I believe lead may become obsolete to tungsten in time"

My thoughts exactly. I'm not too scared that this is an opening to the government takeover of our lives though... some of the...

Honestly, my father uses the fish finder more than i do for actually locating fish. Unlike him, I don't run a company *yet* so I have time to use traditional methods. Mostly I use it for finding...

Hola Crappoli...
Fishin slowed for the late part of July and most of August, but the bite's been pickin up again for all sorts of things. Neighbor and I each got our first in season WI Eye a week...

Keyser, welcome, and I dig the handle. I think of it often when I am crappie fishin. I miss a hit and "like that (poof) he's gone."

anyway, congrats on the boat! My fishin buddy and I were going...

Let there be light?

;)

haha... this thread is the top hit on the google search link :)

I believe it's legal to use lights in Wisconsin. In MN the fishing regs specifically state it is not legal to use lights to...

I am a professional nerd (supervisor of analysts), so naturally I have been using one of these nifty little databases for some time. My idea is the more data you have, the more potential patterns...

Hey Jimmie -

check out the Lake Finder section of the Minnesota DNR website for some maps and such. I use it quite a bit when headin out to a lake the first few times. (google mn dnr, and on the...

Showed this pic to a friend here in the Twin Cities. "Hey, what are those little round things" I was taken back... quite surprised that not many of my MN friends have a clue what hush puppies are. ...

Hey Crappoli,

My cabin's up in Birchwood on Big Chetac.

Headin up there tonight actually.... I try to get up there as many weekends as I can in the summer. If I'm not fishin at the cabin......

One night I was fishing on a suburban twin cities lake with a buddy. Some tornadic storms were blowing in, but missed us to the north AND south (the squall line broke in two separate cells). The...

Exactly! Although my fishin buddy and I have only been skunked once together... (memorial day this year :() The point isn't catching fish, that's for sure.

I went out on my boat alone...

My cabin is in NW WI, and I have had nothing but pleasant conversations up there. The neighbors gave me tips on generally where to find walleye, bass, and northerns, and how the lake changes, even...

I use Shimano Sonora 2500's for my non-panfishin'... but when I am just goin out for crappies/gills, I start out with my 5' UL cabela's tourney trail rod and my cabela's fish eagle tournament II 1000...

Depending on the amount of cabin work to be done... 8 hours of crappie fishin is not rare for me. I fish northern WI and the Twin Cities so the heat isn't unbearable often... when it is it's nothing...

Time? Dusk and 3-5 hours after
Full Moon? Best night I had was a waning gibbous, Full or New moons also productive
Bank vs Boat? So far… bank.
Live bait? Crawler pieces, leeches when I run out...

Wonder how many of our "representatives" would put their names on a document that would mean political suicide... let alone sign a document that would single them out as a traitor to be killed.

I bought a Shimano Sonora on the advice of coworker... Loved it so much I went for another one. Great reel for the price. I also have the 2500 FB.
