Bill just got my Precision Jigs in the mail. I am impressed Can not wait to start pulling these over the bottom of the river.

Bill I just order a box full last week. They are some great looking jigs I use a very similar jig only with a live bate hook. (short shank) That I get up in Deer River Minnesota. I have been poring jigs for over 20 years. I mostly use 3/0 for all my jigs. 4/0 for 1/2oz. I have no problem modifying a jig mold to get what I need. I do wish I could find some 1/0 and 2/0 jig hooks with longer shanks.

Thanks All

Here is some info I found on the E-TEC http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/060301.html

(Did excellant fishing wise though ….fished from Sunday to last Friday, ended up filleting 99 walleye),

Quote:

yea…there were 8 of us…only 3 did the filleting…and we each brought some fish home

---

Now with 8 of you @ 6 fish each. the possession limit would be 48…So how do you account for the other 51 walleye. I do not under stand why any one needs to cut. 99 WALLEYE. If you need to eat fish Eat Perch…….

8 to 10 dozen http://www.lolbait.com/prices.htm

I troll with braided line with about a 4 to 5 foot mono leader, with 11 and 6 foot medium action rods. I use the medium rods to help lighten the hook shock that you get with braided line when the fish hits the crank bait. To help avoid rip outs.I always making sure the hooks are allways sharp.

Rigger

Please give us the details on how this happened. Don’t look good. happy to hear no one got hurt.

I guess I need to read a little farther. Got it

When can we get are hands on these videos I will take a set.

Here is another read I just found

Sauger Stizostedion canadense

Sauger is a smaller relative of walleye. These species are very similar and most anglers are unaware of any differences; both being considered ‘~pickerel~’. Two easily observed features can help to distinguish them – sauger, unlike walleye, has distinct rows of spots on its spiny dorsal fin and its tail fin does not exhibit a white lower lobe. Sauger also have three or four dark brown markings across their back, but these are not always apparent. Their average weight is just over 1/2 kg (1 lb), with few fish exceeding 1 kg (2 lb).

The spawning of sauger takes place in early May, often immediately after walleye have spawned. Both of these species may utilize the same gravel shoals in lakes and rivers, and some interbreeding can occur. Interbreeding may account for the large sauger, up to 2.7 kg (6 lb), which have been taken from Tobin Lake.

After the adults spawn, young sauger hatch in about three weeks. Their growth is rapid within the first year, but usually slower than that of walleye. Sauger in Tobin Lake reach their average weight in four or five years.

In Saskatchewan, sauger are only found in the Saskatchewan and Churchill River systems, and in Cumberland Lake. This species prefers large shallow lakes and slow-flowing rivers which are turbid or cloudy. Sauger usually succeed over walleye in very turbid waters, but their north-ward range is restricted by cold water temperatures. Consequently, sauger are less adaptable to different habitats than walleye.

Sauger prey on small fish and other aquatic animals such as crayfish and insects, often gathering on the same feeding grounds as do walleye. Both sauger and walleye are sight feeders; they are adapted to feed in their turbid habitat by their special light-gathering eyes.

Like walleye, sauger are angled by still fishing with preserved minnows, or by casting or trolling with brightly coloured lures. Their flesh, which most people cannot differentiate from that of walleye, is firm, white and of good flavour.

Thanks for the info. Now we all know you have a Doctorate in Walleye. Need to open up a school call it Walleye U. You would be Professor James. Great Reply.

Thanks

Here is a good read on this subject. It is from a web sight of one of Northern Minnesota top guides. http://www.jeffsundin.com/updates.htm

I just hope there was enough snow to melt off and get the river moving some. look like the temps. will be back in the freezer the first part of next week. Just hopping it opens up and stays that way.

Larry Erickson from Stoddard is said to have caugth the monster. Heard that Hutch was with him.
