Mav…. Good to see that in this time of international stress you have resolved your issues in the boat and on the river.

Mavzer, Well done!!

Mavzer, Thanks for the heads up! It is a good thing to share knowledge earned through experience. I too have some advice to share with you, mine is based on the experience of being a happy veteran of 40 years of marriage and counting. I noticed in your profile, you listed the things you like and love, they all are great things to love, I am thinking, now that you are engaged, it might be wise to move the last on the list to the top. Take care. Good Luck on rhe river.

Greatplains; I am not very familiar with replying to posts. I did send you one this forenoon but not sure I processed it right. Bottom line is, my normal fishing partner is working on a “Habitat For Humanity” house next week so I am on my own. But I hasten to explain I am not a tounament level fisher man. I do like the Lake City area, during the bite we got to Lake City about once a week and mostly trolled down the West Bank from the Landing for about a mile or two. My present plans for next week are to explore the Croix near the narrows by myself. Did so alone a couple of weeks ago got a few small Sauger and surprised self with a 34 inch Muskie while playing with leadline and # 9 Shadrap.(released of course)

I am not sure if your memo was to the more experienced folks or was a call to almost any one who can fill and empty seat. I would consider it a learning experience. ( guess I am experienced but not a learned fisherman- more of a lets see if they are biting) A bit about my self; am retired, married, three married sons, six grandchildren, live in Apple Valley (since 1978) have a 17.5 Smokercraft with 75 Merc; love to fish. And thankfully in shape enough to launch and load my own boat and spend the day on the water when ever I get the notion. All that said, I would have some questions. Do you travel to Lake City or overnight. What are the fees, What time do you start and finish.
