lol, it took 2 posts before topic got derailed.

Anyway, back to topic. Got real windy last night in the St. Cloud area, my neighbor has two big trees down. My rain gauge is up to 2.25”.

Fun to finally see some good basketball around here. A1 is the man and takes over games, a guy like that with pieces around him will win championships. This series has shown how important role players are. T wolves have a pretty good bench, suns have nothing beyond Booker and Durant. Beal was non existent pretty much entire series and big reason they lost last night, he was terrible. Suns are in cap hell for a while too. See what the T wolves can do rest of playoffs but will be fun to watch, they are good enough to win it all.

Thanks fishinfool for doing this over the years.

The reason I don’t understand the Atlanta pick is they are in win now mode, if they weren’t they wouldn’t have spent 100mil guaranteed on cousins. Instead they draft a qb when they could get instant help on defense which is an area of need for them.

Agree with Big Werm’s take. They will have $ to spend next year which they can spend on proven players instead of having draft capitol.

I just finished fertilizing my yard just in time for all the rain to come. Went to the Mill instead of big box store and holy smokes is it way cheaper!

You go to Heinz Mill Musky? I like that place, started getting some feed/minerals from them last year. Seemed very reasonably priced.

Had my first smelt go around last night. Working up in superior and met a buddy who lives up here. We by no means killed it but worth the experience with winds out of the NE and 6 foot rollers!
Crazy how the strong the undercurrent is with those waves, a few times could barely move the nets.

My wife’s uncle has a relative that plays basketball with harry the hitman in the off season, apparently he barely lifts weights and pretty much concentrates on conditioning. Of course this is one of those he said she said deals so who knows but he’s been about as healthy as anyone for a long time and that is football. I can believe it.

Nice B-Man. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

St. Cloud area. Not sure morning plan yet, maybe river. Hit up Rice in evening.

when my inlaws had the place on rice….we did better fishing crappies then walleyes….

One of my favorite lakes in the area for walleye, have done very good out there. Plenty of crappies too.

St. Cloud area. Not sure morning plan yet, maybe river. Hit up Rice in evening.

The twins collective batting average through 17 games is .193, second lowest mlb team batting average in the last 50 years through that many games. Only the 2003 Detroit tigers had worse, who finished with the worst record in Al history that year.

I’m loosing interest before the season is really getting going.

Only one in our group got drawn this year for a bull/deer combo tag. Cow only for me and the rest.

Michael, we hunt in the 416, 446, 451 and 452 units of Montana. Last time I went a couple years ago we saw a lot of elk with some descent bulls. We went during the first week of rifle season, which is busy, quite a few people around. Going later this year, mid November I think, hoping for snow on the ground and less people.

Hopefully others can get a tag.

I find it hard to believe he had no involvement in it too but the interpreter was apparently changing settings on accounts so Ohtani wasn’t receiving notifications on transactions. Still, how do give that much power to one person? Also, obviously not looking at your own accounts on a regular basis to not notice large sums missing.

Looks like a sweet trip Hoyt! There was some good gobbling yesterday evening by my house plus quite a few birds around on relatives land. Going to pick a week later in the season to chase em. Good size flocks right now is what I have seeing.

Just a little heads up there is NO treated wood in a transom and should never be used for a transom on an aluminum boaat, marine grade plywood only.

Correct, I misspoken above saying green treat. I was watching a you tube video yesterday where a guy was replacing his transom on a pro v, early 2000s, and he was able to order a composite transom directly from Lund. Didn’t say the cost but worth a look if someone thinking about doing a transom job.

Garage ceiling for me too. Made out of pine 1x4s, cheap, easy and out of the way.

I keep adding to the list but the thirsty moose in cherry is a must stop for me when I’m working up on the range. Best wings in Minnesota I’ve had.

Anyone ever stop in at the Harriet Club in Pine River?

Yes, I was just thinking of this one, definitely a dive bar. We will swing by there on occasion when on way to wife’s grandmas cabin in the hack area.

The deer stand is another good one. otherwise if you ever wonder in the middle of no where Missouri, place called the bridge in Davisville. Complete dive but we work in the area a couple times of year and swing in.

I’m trying to come up with bars I’ve been in I haven’t liked!

Thanks for the info fellas. I will take a deeper look, see if I can run it this season and have a project on my hands next winter.

Beaudreau’s in St. Cloud

MT’s on 8th is a great spot too in St. Cloud, some of the best burgers around imo! And reminds me I need to stop in for a review sometime.

Been many moons since I’ve been in there but it is a good spot

That’s a good one too and spending more time there since we have a cabin in the area.

Howie’s in St. Stephen

Is that in anyway related to the Howie’s in downtown St Cloud?

Yes, same owner.

Will wonder into Beaudreau’s in St. Cloud on occasion, small little spot but usually enjoy my time there. Otherwise, do like the st Stephen bars but don’t make it up there much anymore. Legion or muni in hack when I’m up there.

I don’t have experience with them but I’ve talked to a few folks who have used the new Berkeley FFS baits, finisher and krej, with good success. Obviously don’t need ffs to use them, aren’t cheap either though.

Also surprised to hear you are having issues with the husky jerks, I can’t remember having an issue with them but one of my favorite early season stick baits

I will be starting shallow, normal opener spots as always and go from there. I don’t think it’s going to matter what happens weather wise between now and opener, there will be fish shallow.

Supercat, how big of an undertaking is it to replace transoms? I will do your checks you suggested but I’m thinking 03 crestliner fish hawk has transome issues. It has a small leak in the transom where a bolt runs through, can’t get a great look at it but I’m guessing it because the green treat wood is rotting.

Even with the miles of river to fish people still have to be dbags and fish right next to you. I would think with the ffs it would be more reason to get away from boats/crowds and find your own spots. It was nice to see pics of the kids with fish anyway BW!

I’m jealous of all of you up fishing or heading up. Wish I could make it, keep up the great reports and pics though.

These guys need to start drinking more beer, chewing and smoking heaters. Gone are the days of beer bellied pitchers throwing no hitters hungover.

Yea he is a stud. Nelson for the rodents had a good couple games too.

Nice BC. I shot league this year through archery country, it was fun and as you said, keeps a guy shooting.
