You could try supreme marine. I believe they’re in Columbia Heights. I had an older motor worked on there a few years back.

Is it just general dry skin or have you noticed your dog scratching near the ears? My dogs swims a lot as well and her ears get irritated after a long weekend. After cleaning her ears a few days her condition improves.

Thanks gentlemen.

I follow similar steps as beardly. I washed my clothes in sent killer and have them outside in totes a week before the gun season. I also shower with scent less soap and use scent less deodorant. I try not to wear anything I wear into the field inside the shack. I’m not sure how much it matters but I’ll take any advantage I can get. It’s a short season!

Thanks again guys for sharing lure retrieval wisdom with me. Nothing about musky fishing is cheep! I think if my wife knew I lost, or evened owned a $100 lure, that be the end of my short musky fishing career.

I appreciate all of you taking the time to share your thoughts and humor. I think the method that makes the most sense to me is the retriever knocker that Brian mentioned. I think I’m going to try to attach the head to a retractable dog leash. Gino mentioned the swim method. That thought also crossed my mind but it would have been more to hide my tears! Jake, the Mattlocks and Headlocks walk, or wonder erratically from side to side as they are trolled. The Mattlocks generally start to walk at slower speed then the Headlocks. This walking action is often what causes the baits to get big. There are other baits that walk like the supernatural baits for less money but I’m a fan of wooden baits. They all run a little differently which I also think is pretty cool. I’m new to musky fishing so anyone please correct me if I’m wrong.

My parents owned hunting property in Northern MN. There was a neighbor who had a shack up there who basically lived off the land. He would take bags of his feces and place them around the perimeter of his garden to keep the deer away. He swore by this method! Could be worth a shot.

I’m interested in your precision. Where are you located?

I’m interested in possibly a bullwhip and and a quick tip. It would be nice to see some pictures though.
