I don’t even know where to begin.

Nice fish Guys!

Chrome is the new firefox. :thumbs-up-to-bk:

Thanks for the helpful response.

Yesterday, I spent more time than I’d like to admit, finding serial numbers, registering equipment, downloading the correct updates and updating each component to current versions.
I got to try the system out for two hours last night, and not only did it work perfectly, but I picked up a few fish. No DANDIES, but man it was great to have the equipment running itself up and down the river, what a treat. The wind did pose a problem at times, but can be compensated with little trial and error.

new link?

Thanks for the reply.
Will you be replacing them? I figured I just needed to update some software. Is this a common problem?

Oh, what a DANDY that would be. Shoot for the stars and ask for a night bite show ……dandy.

I couldn’t be more jealous, thanks for sharing Jon

The other problem is there are not a lot of good stores that carry a large selection of microbrews, or at least I haven’t found one yet.

MR.PUG – Have you been to Elevated Wine and Spirits on (roughly) 42nd and Hiawatha. Those boys have a HUGE selection of micros. Sugar Shack by 3rd Street Brewhouse is some tasty seasonal brew

That is GREAT news! Congratulations Dean and SBC.

Call Tim W at Nelson Marine in White Bear, I was just talking to him and Ted Takasaki about Tyees and sturgeon fishing at the boat show
Ted looked pretty confused

Looks like there will be a new shanty town outside the powerplant in the future, I might just start ice fishing again.

Could someone specify which waters are being considered, or are we talking a statewide catch and release season? BTW- BIG thanks to those individuals who continue the good fight.

The open C&R season isn’t going to be good news for the Baudette area.

We will still go up there for the numbers and size, just not this year. Also look forward to having an open season on the Croix for them

After the last few weeks of foul weather, not sure our group will battle the cold this year.

Looking at other locations, sturgeon excursion on the Rainy is currently the failsafe trip. Where else could a guy target them within 6-7 hr drive from MPLS in a southern direction?

Something’s fishy.

on a side note:Here is a link to the previous record.

(Edit: This picture is of Rodney Akney’s 49.8 record caught on the St Joesph River on May 22 2012)

Nice job Colonel
Thanks, to all of you who have been working so hard on these issues

Whiffed Looks like fun

Happy BDAY Randy

We don’t currently rent storage for boats/vehicles here in the city, wish I could help, mine sits outside at home too. Sounds like you need a farmer who rents out his barn, let us know if you find one

will pm’s be transferred?

What a sad deal.

Great tunes guys You guys have too much fun down there!!

The iPilot is the closest/best thing to hands-free fishing:

-Has the ability to follow the lake contour (i.e. 12 foot depth) for up to 2 miles

---

Has anyone used this feature? I am going to pull the pin on a trolling motor and finder combo, and in my research, it seems that “contour follow” is unique to the Humminbird/Minnkota combo which will seal the deal on getting that combo.
I am curious as to how it has been working for you guys. I am also curious if it could be used to steer the boat while trolling with a kicker. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated

what’s the street value of a 1 year old terrova 101? Thinking a switch back to motorguide will be in order once it is out.

---

Looks like I might be. I was hoping to hear the Lowrance/Motorguide had a “contour follow” feature.

I cannot find in the motorguide/lowrance combo a “follow the contour” feature. I think this will be a great addition for trolling along shorelines on rivers. I did see it on the humminbird/minnkota/lakemaster setup. Anybody have any information regarding this feature on the motorguide/lowrance?
Thanks.

See you there Jesse!

Nice work Steve

That looked like a great day of fishing, and a great tutorial also. Thanks for sharing.

What kind of landing net is that with the lever? I’d like to get a net like that with a long handle, I just don’t want to have to unscrew/screw it every time you stow it. thanks.
