Northwest end of mille lacs as always. Hopefully find the Crappies on the south end again on Thursday friday before

My inlaws have a Colorado with the diesel as well and love it. They pull a 16 foot yeti behind it and it does fantastic. They also pull a 17.5 lund all over. They pulled the yeti out to the black hills last summer and average a touch under 20 mpg at 80 miles an hour. It has been a really good truck for them.

Put me in the my wedge camp. I run a pair of them on my 225 merc.

The 2 we had were sperming all over the boat that is how we determined they were male

Was out this morning with a few buddies we ended up with 3 in the slot 2 we’re female and had eggs developing one was male. I thought it was odd the the eggs were not further along. Last year the week after opener we got 2 over 26 that were males. I know it is rare to get males that Large but mille lacs is its own animal.

I fish mille lacs every opener my guess is it will fish like memorial day. Fish will be transitioned out to the flats and on the deeper gravel will still be fish in traditional early spots but I believe they will be more spread out

I run the same as Dave lowrance live 9s and motorguide xi5. Love it can drop Mark’s along a weed line and have it follow it.love dropping points close together and having it follow inside and outside corners without thought

I would Gree with poes jackpot

I am hoping to not need to run a generator this year when up on rainy for 5 days with no power.

I went the 36 volt route but x2 I don’t think I would have needed the 2 but I didn’t want to modify my battery area and the 100 amp hour 36 wouldn’t fit in current tray space. I did 2 36 volt 60 amp hour and then put in a 12 volt for all my electronics

2 12 volts will not give you longer run time than 1 24 of equal amperage I switched my system over from 3 12 to 2 36 volts my 12 volts were 100 ah deep cycle and my 36 are 60 amp so in parallel I have 120 ah I have not run this system out juice yet but only had it for last week of October until freeze up

I have a blue parrot 450 I think it is a mx series it is a few years old I also have a comexium that I bought on a whim when I was having some issues with my parrot. I can not where Barbuda style so these are both 1 side muff style. The commexium is a little more comfortable for me but the blue parrot have better noise canceling and people on the other end here less noise. If I would buy another pair I don’t no if I would spend the extra money for the blue parrot as they were over 200 and the comexium were 60

I don’t carry as much now but when I was I was carrying a sig p365xl with the halo sight. I also have the extended mag as it just fits my hand better. Thumper I am in st cloud also and if you want to shoot it let me know and I can meet you at firing line or tactical advantage i do not believe either place has the xl and only have the regular 365 and it is a significant difference

I also run a kipawa on my motor guide 105 pound thrust. It is the 350 model and I really like how my speed stay more consistant with this prop. When I cat h a big gust of wind this prop seems to stay pulling better than the factory prop

I have been up to a coworkers grandparents island a number of times it is not far from camp narrows which isnt to far from where you are we have found them in northwest bay a couple times but that is usually later in the year the only place we find them consistant mid summer is in ash and paddy bays. I do not have live scope and can usually find them within half a day just driving around with traditional sonar. When you find them the schools are usually fairly large and dont move a ton from day to day

I am not great at locating them by any means. 1 lake I frequent there are good numbers but hard to find on sonar. What I learned on this body of water was the crappies will lay right on the bottom almost in the mud. This lake is shallow and gets warm quick. Your sonar will light up just before dark and then the bite is on . It is very hard to get bit during the day in the summer here. Not sure if your lake is maybe similar

For a cheaper real the coldwaters are hard to beat. If you keep an eye out you can sometimes find the shimano tekota a series for 169.00 this is by far my favorite linecounting real.

10 to 12 is perfect. If having a hard time will keep down to 9.5. Or twice a year 8 to 9.5 for my 96 year old grandma. She just guts them and scales them.

I’m running a 2006 225 optimax on a Triton 202. Maintain them and keep good fuel In them and they should treat you right. I pull tubes and wakeboard occasionally works good enough for our family

Last night was rough caught a few fish bobered up but man was it rough. Took more water over the bow than ever before.

Boated 12 from 6 to 9 got our 2 keepers and a bonus perch 14 to 16 feet of water rigging

We will be on mille lacs again. Hoping to fish the ice pack again like a few years ago. It was us and the northwest outdoors boat. In the ice pack on Saturday afternoon

Maui Jim alenuihaha I have had good luck with.

Either start a separate account that all 3 of you put money into and checks come out of that or all send in your own check. My wifes grandparents left a little lake place to all the grandkids the oldest grandkid just paid all the taxes and everyone else just paid him. When he got divorced it was hell. We were very lucky he documented all payments from everyone. His exwife wanted half the cabin in the divorce. Took 2 years to get everything settled.

I have a set of Michelin ltx at2 on my work truck they are very quiet and still get good traction in the snow. I have 68000 miles on them now and think I can get another 15000 on them before I even get close to being shot.

As far as I was told by our credit union most debit cards have no real protection. We shredded our debit cards years ago as our financial advisor said this was best practice. We pay everything on a credit card and pay off each month earning the points. Typically make 900 to 1000 each year in free money.

Where I was there were pockets of snow. No slush that I seen but I was only out less than a quarter mile. I parked at a friends place and walked out. Hoping to hit it again next weekend as I think the big perch may move in better.

I was on mille lacs last weekend. I just walked as I was not going out far. Managed 6 nice perch in a couple hours and alot of 4 to 6 inchers..lake seemed very driveable.

I know someone said stay away from Kia/ Hyundai. But I would recommend a 2010, 2011 or 2012 Kia sportage or Hyundai Santa de. 2.4 non turbo. And. My wife has a 2011 now that we bought new I have done vary little 2 it and it has 263k on it now and goes everyday. She had a 2010 and drove it through a stopped enclosed trailer on highway 23. Yes all the way through and into the back of the truck that was pulling in. She came out without a scatch.

I havent fished muskies much in the last 2 years. But my absolute favorite is a big safety pin style spinner bait. Like a rad dog or cjs. Next for me and old metal lipped Cisco kid. And then some kind of rubber. I fish 90 percent of the time from back of boat so hardly ever throw double 10s as my boat partners throw those. Big crank in the weeds is deadly. 2019 almost 60 percent of the fish in my boat were on a large crank in the weeds.
