You do in my book!

Yea you know the waters up when you see the tires in the water at Fishers lake side dock.

This put a tear to my eye. God Bless America and the quality of people such as you, your Father and likes of you both!

Brian that is one of the best suggestions I’ve heard in a long time!

Rent pontoons and bring the trolling gear.
I called the owner and he said he would rent his personal pontoon also but only to an experienced operator.
2 rentals and his personal pontoon would fit the hole crew!

I personally think it is sad that people are avoiding Mille Lacs because of not being able to keep a fish. True the fishing has been slow at best but it will turn around.

Show your support for the local businesses’. They need it!

If the food is the number one priority then it is better to fish else-where.

Please do not take my rant personally Chasin, my apologies if it read as a criticism of you.

One thing to consider is the length off rod is the length of your boat. You do not want to be in the bow of your boat when netting your prize!

X2: waytogo:

Not on opener but the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after, out of Fishers!

Our prayers are with you and her family at this time of loss!

Congratulations. It is a fine thing marriage!

God loves when we ask for his help! You are in our prayers.

It sounds like these two young ladies are definitely getting an upgrade in fathers!

My stepson of 25 years and his mother ,my wife of 22 years is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
He was my son and he died my son. even though he was not my biological son.

GIVE THEM A GOOD HOME!

Lincoln grease guns last forever. Be careful with the powered grease guns, you can not feel when they start to build pressure and can blow the seals very quickly!

People remember Red Lake! Maybe 25% of the lake is open to hook and line by American citizen’s and the rest is open to netting by the steward’s of the land. I have to wonder at how a fishery of that size can crumble if not for the use of net’s.

I guess all I can say to this post is Wow. I will be polite and say that I do not agree with this assessment. Not to long ago we needed to clean up all the water ways to promote better fishing and quality of life and now the system is is to clear to sustain a walleye population. Everybody is targeting the same size fish, and we wonder why the population is suffering. Protect certain species of fish and then say it okay because now we have another trophy fishery. . I have fished Mille Lacs for many many years and it is fun to catch a trophy fish regardless of what species. People please remember that Mille Lacs is and will be a walleye factory and maybe we need to stop protecting one group of fish or one species of fish over another!

I used Aarons 763-571-0135. Dave has someone who got my employer’s sewer drain out to the street open with a water jet hooked up to a heated power washer (can be messy).
On the incoming side like Mike said they use something like a welding power source.

I’ve used Aarons for close to 20 years.

Because there is a resistance across the batteries positive and negative terminals with any load (motor, light, radio etc. etc.). By jumping the commons there is not enough resistance across a piece of wire, or like Rootski pointed out there is a dead short.

By the way good one Rootski!

Should have added, keep your negatives (commons) separate using the switch.

I would listen to Rootski! You have a 12 volt potential at the negative battery post on your 2nd battery in a 24 volt system. If you are going to use a 3 way switch make sure you a have double set of contacts on each position. That way you break the positive and negative together,that will keep your positive common wires separate.

I voted NO!

I suggest going after the real problems, there are few of them and I do not believe barbless hooks is one of them.

It is the only lake I’ve fished for many years and still love it, 70 miles from home and a true trophy fishery.

Amen to that!!!!!

SAGA! SAGA! SAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use a 50 foot leader and tie the swivel one arms length from the end (46′- swivel – 6′- lure). I use the arms length so I know how much of the leader is lost when changing lures. When it gets to about 3′ from the swivel I tie on another arms length ( 6′).

Penn, American made smooth and last a lifetime.
I use the 4300, it holds 250 yards with the newest one being 7 years old and the oldest being 15 years plus.
Up to 2 years ago I even used them in winter!

I have also had the line in the tank to the strainer crack just enough to allow idling. Took me awhile to find that

Brad,
Thanks for putting on my 28 incher I am so happy to have taken your clinic it saved me a lot of time and money plus I got to develop a very good friend in the process!

Part of the poem by Rudyard Kipling’s says it best.

The power of the dog,

When the body that lived at your single will,
With is whimper of welcome is stilled (how still)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone-wherever it goes-for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give you heart to a dog to tear.

Yes, the scum will steal anything not locked down.
I had a brand new spare stolen from under my Jimmy, the pukes cut the cable to steal it so I got to buy the new hoist assembly, new tire and new rim.
