    Hiking Barns Bluff is always a good activity and you are rewarded with great views of the Mississippi River Valley. There is also a road you can drive up on Memorial Bluff with your vehicle and get good views of the city and also some of the river valley. Frontenac state park is also an enjoyable activity with great views. The Harbor Bar has pretty decent food options if you like Caribbean food and drinks. You can also drive the great river road around Lake Pepin.

    I had the same thing happen to my interstates this year also. Stored them the same I always do.

    Did good using jigs and plastics in 24-27 feet. Working the bait slow seemed to help. There was a lot of shad coughed up in the livewell. Color didn’t seem to matter, we just had to slow down the presentation.

    I have owned the R12 for 2 years and love it. It is night and day better then the original lithium.

    After many years of smoking food the best advice I can give is buy a good thermometer and cook to temp. I learned more often then not you cannot count on cooking times to get the finished result you desire. Good luck with your Cook.

    I have fished with Captain Ross Robertson @ Bigwater Charters multiple times and would highly recommend his outfit. I always enjoyed the experience and had productive outings.

    I have aqua traction in my boat and absolutely love it. The only dislike that I have is that it gets tough to clean if you don’t spray it off right away after it is exposed to blood. It is very slip resistant which helps a lot in rain and rough weather.

    Getting to be too common. Pull the goalie and give up an open net goal.

    You don’t have to go to farm & fleet for bait or equipment. 4 seasons has a much better selection and is easier to get in and out of with a boat. Once bay point marina opens it is a nice ride from 4 seasons to the launch.

    I have the rapala lithium ion R12 heavy duty and am very impressed with it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cordless knife.

    Awesome game to watch and an impressive home stand sweep for the team. Hopefully they have what its takes to keep it going.

    Definitely a lot more pep in their steps right from the get go this season. A very entertaining team to watch that has the ability to score in bunches. Awesome to see them heading in the right direction for a change.

    The old Tekota 600 will hold ten colors with no backing. However I do not know if the new model will.

    I used to run with interstates, but with the new electronics I found the interstates would drain pretty fast if I didn’t run the big motor every hour or so. I have since switched to an odyssey starting battery which will only need starting the big motor every 4 hours, so I gained a little electronic run time with it. Found out the hard way that just because an efi turns over, it will not start unless the battery has at least 9 volts. A volt meter has been added to the boat tool box now also.

    I had snap in carpet so just the snaps had to be removed from the floor. The only issue I am having with the flooring is cleaning it. If anyone has any helpful pointers I Am all ears.

    I use the small scotty releases for walleye. I had a tough time to get the regular salmon releases to trip with small walleye and sauger. The small size works much better.

    I have a bubba fixed blade knife that is a good product, but not bubba lithium. I wouldn’t be afraid to buy one though. I also like that they offer more blade options than rapala.

    Yes I brought it to Clearwater. I had scheduled an appointment which was a month out from when I called. I brought the boat in on Monday and it was done on Wednesday. Price was $1200. I wish I had done it sooner.

    I just had aqua traction installed in my Warrior and will never get another boat without it. It provides excellent traction in wet conditions and a nice soft floor for fishing without shoes. I highly recommend it.

    I don’t always grease my balls, but when I do I use all natural eco friendly grease as I don’t want to harm the environment.

    Last weekend the freshwater drum were on a tear along with an occasional white bass. Walleye/Sauger were tough, but available if you worked at it. Hope this helps.

    I believe that the current limits are fine. It is greed, ego, bragging that is the problem. Plain fact is certain people cannot catch and release. Like others have stated no one needs to fill a bucket full of fish every time they fish, however people continue to do so. How many people give all the fish they keep away, therefore never having any in possession legally allowing daily harvest limits. The people need to change. I do believe it is lack of enforcement enabling this activity. Not enough people getting caught breaking the current laws and making headlines give confidence to the lawbreakers. You shouldn’t need rules to do what is right for the resource. Practicing selective harvest works.

    I will second the shimano TDR. Like previously stated the reel will be more important.

    WOW!! How could that be constitutional. Love the fines and prison sentences associated with it. Not Good.

    Your research is correct. Pike are everywhere. You Shouldn’t have a problem locating and catching them. If you set up in an area and don’t catch any, move. They will be biting somewhere. Have Fun out there.
