I’m looking for a pellet grill. What did you go with? I’ve been leaning towards the new Camp Chef as I like the option to smoke and grill.

Will a boat be able to cross into Canada to fish if staying on US side at Rainy Lake? Assuming we have license & RABC? We have been doing this for many years.

Looks like price of Walleye is going up!! (Again)

Total Weight= 19.8

Big Fish= 6.4

I just saw this post for Kab. Check it out.

Ye Old Butcher Shop in Rochester has fresh links of the sausage and is a must have!!

I watch fishing shows for education as well as where to go. I would like to see more on how you choose a location, boat speed, depth, presentation, etc. TV shows always show great catching. I want to know more about the equipment and why it is used for each outing.
I also liked the show last spring shore fishing walleyes in your waiters in NE WI. Walleye & Crappies are my main interest. I fish mostly on the river (Mississipi) so any shows there are of big interest. Any thought of doing a couple of show with Granrud on Rainy again?
Keep up the good work!

I think Mesa Pizza is the best by far!

I use camp dry or other silicone sprays one can get a fleet farm by the boot water proofing materials. I use it to spray my pants before the Pheasant hunting trip to ND as the fields are usually damp in mornings. This year however we had pooring rain for 5 hours and my pants were dry! I do this every year about a week before the season. Make sure you are oustdoors as ventilation is needed.

Bummer! That is always a good stop on the “Trail”. Hope they can rebuild soon.

If you have a smartphone or tablet, consider a video monitor that lets you watch from anywhere (home, neighbors,work,etc). Mosy of the cameras are HD quality with 2 way sound. We got one at Verizon and now have it set up in the house to monitor other items as well. Fatherhood is awesone!

Check out Beaver Ridge Kennels in Caledonia, MN. We have had great success with their dogs. http://www.beaverridgelabradors2.com/

If you are with VZ, ask for their loyalty plan!!!!

I just heard about this APP for smartphones and PC’s. Looks interesting but haven’t played with it yet.

and
PDF Maps app in app stores.

How did you do?

I just applied for my annual RABC permit. You ca use a passport or two other forms of ID; Drivers License, Birth certificate, SS card. Here is the web site-

One can also get your license in advance online through the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. First timers will also need an Outdoors card. All pretty easy to do in advance of your trip.

I mounted one of these in the boat. It’s a 5 row counter. Works great for keeping up with fishing bets on the water.

Also Apps available for smart phones.

Get a Lifeproof Case! They are awesome, expensive $89, slim, and do the job. Currently only made for Samsung S3, S4 and All IPhones and IPads. My kids are life guards and used them all summer taking pictures underwater in the pool.

I got the book for Christmas and love it. Very simple and makes me look like a pro. Just need more fish to keep experimenting!

Pretty fish!!!

Thanks for the info Joel. This is one of those topics I keep forgetting to ask about as I need to get a headlamp.

Great time with the family and unforgettable memories for the kids. Perfect day!!

Nice Fish!!

How about a photo of the new rig? Congrats!

Cool Story!

Bruce, my parents, age 72 & 73 decided to get hearing aids for themselves at Christmas. My siblings and I were having my doubts about mom and dad as we know they are starting to age and fears of dementia starting to settle in. They would always ask the same questions over and over as well as not being tuned into most conversations.
They spent $4500 each on Audibel hearing aids with remotes and are so happy. It has been a major improvement for them. Mom has said over and over that they waited too long and now rarely miss a thing! I know they are expensive but well worth it. My 2 cents.

Great wife! Remember her come anniversary time!
Congrats on the new equipment
