The walleye’s looked like crap, because it was out of balance with large
Fish and no forage. The walleye’s that are left now are anything but skinny,
They eating quite well at this point in time. Lots of forage.
Keep in mind that we abide by the laws your DNR sets.
You can already see the affect of smallmouth coming out last year!
Take the smallmouth back to where they were 20yrs ago and we will be
good. Only reason they are still there is no one wants them! Not like they are a difficult species to catch!

The smallmouth are there because everyone that fishs for them have no
Itentions of keep them.
We would not be having the discussion if so was true of walleye.
If you travel the lake with close eye on your graph enough, you will see how furtile the lake can be in just even one year. We just need to hope there is enough big spawning fish left, to carry on.
If last years class which looked good going into winter is still there, we are already on our way back. Patients! We all need to do our best to continue
Going up there and supporting the resorts. Even though fishing may not be at it best.
So when it does rebound (which it will!) things don’t change to much!
My two cents worth!

I would try the Scheels rods. I believe they still have and over the counter exchange. Which is great if you do happen to break one. The first set that I bought was probably 15 yrs ago. You will not be disappointed. Nice looking rods to.

Nice to see all the new blood
Some very good hockey coming next week.
Both A, and AA
Chisago Lakes all the way! They beat our team 5-4 in section finals

I believe they go by the beam width. Example 620T ranger, and 620vs. Same length, but 620vs is wider. So the rating goes up.
As far as skeeter tiller, you will defiantly want to talked to past owners before you purchase one. Everyone I know with one, is experiencing spider cracking in the gel coat, due to stress and flexing. So they had better figure that out before they look at a bigger motor.

Yes people do need to learn to live with in there means. I know alot of people who were, but when you lose your profession over night, it is real hard to plan for. Just think if you had a high paying job, and all of sudden there was no work! What do you do? quality is quality control!

I’m not sure about you, but I believe most tournament anglers or avid fisher people have little or no interest in keeping any of these big females, only catching for sport.

Nice board Mark, I take it your partner caught the fish
