Congrats on your new fishing buddy!!!!

Congrats and Happy Anniversary to you both.

So Cute: Congrats on new fishing partner

I’m so sorry, my heart feels your pain. Hang in there my friend.

I’m thinking Brian might come over to the otherside and leave the kitty’s and join us dragging minnow and drifting.
LOL

I wish there was a way for couples not to rush into divorce right away. To me it seems like it is an escape route. My friends I am seeking help thru all of this. They tell me it’s not my fault and to think positive every day. What really throws me a curve ball is our neighbor and best friend to us both, she works with him and won’t even talk to him or look at him now. He has nothing to do with it at all. I keep telling him nothing is going to change between him and me. Again thanks for all the good advise.

Chad

Thanks for all the advise guys. I have a good head on my shoulders and I’m sure with time it will pass. I am going to see a counsler on this ordeal. Maybe with a little help from them it will ease my mind a little better. I know we will not be able to be friends after this is over. I really want to but it’s just not going to work out I have to realize it. Hope to see you all on the water in the spring. I just hope I have a boat to use.

Take care my friends.

I wonder if this will be the same weekend as the Lake Pepin Open next year also?

Chad

18 degrees

Good Luck Justin!!!!!!

I keep my boat in a marina and I try to use it every weekend unless someone tells me differently.

Actually I did, back when the DNR could not make their mind up to have stickers on or not. I put one on just incase I would have happened to be visited by one of those nice fellas.

Total Weight 16.8
Biggest Walleye 8.6
Biggest Sauger 4.7

It was posted to repair a broken sewer line last weekend.
I know they will be closing it for the season soon also.
I’m trying to decide if I should bring my own flaying board with me this weekend or not.

We also was out there on Sunday we managed on 7 crappies and we also didn’t get any walleyes to bite for us either.
Saturday was just plain brutal with the windy conditions.
Nice looking fish!!!!

Thanks for the info guys: My dealer told me to leave it empty, but I was worried about condensation also. I will probably top it off, add my stabil, and leave it full over the winter. Ah the thought of winter!!!!

The water temp yseterday was 60 degrees. We only managed 2 nice saugers jigging the wing dams with leeches for the pan last night. TONS OF sheephead.

Chad

We got into them on Saturday afternoon in front of Hansen’s Harbor. It’s been a hit and a miss with them this year.
Good Luck

Chad

I will have to try the 12 volt fan or just leave my compartments open when I leave. Thanks for all the input.
I was also thinking about the rod protection sleeves if that would work or not.

Prayers are sent from my wife and I: I hope all of our prayers are answered for you and your folks.

NO. Just to the east of Deer Island.

We have very good luck on Saturday we got 5 nice walleyes 22, 24, 18, 21,and 19. You guys are not going to beleive me, but we got them in 5 FOW in the grass using a leech and a blue dragging jig. Right in front of the boys and girl scout camp. I had my dad and my neighbor Jim with me. It took us 6 hrs to catch them 5 but it was worth it, then we spent the rest of the day and most of the evening catching stripers. Them are my dad’s passion. We ended up the 75 of them. Using Hammered Crome Little George. We got our stripers down from Pepin Marina. Sunday was a differnt story 1 15lb cat and 1 striper. I had a buddy come up Sunday after I told him how good we did Sat. very disappointing told him should of been here yesterday. Aint that the truth.

Brian make sure the coffee is on also.

Nice looking Walley Steve!!!
Atleast some one can find them.

Nice looking ride!!!!! I have had 2 different Opti’s Myself 115 and 125 HP never had an issue. Enjoy it.

Yes I did, but I hate to admit it my wife caught one bigger than mine. Hers is on the wall.

I know what you mean. I had my first tomatoes last week now I have plenty of ripe tomatoes with LOTS of green ones yet also. I will have to start canning shortly or start making my salsa. Nothing like fresh salsa and chips on the water.

I could explain much better than that. It was a good time even with the weather we had to put up with. Very well oragnized. Thanks to all who put their time in.

Chad

Congrats:

Time to make more room.

We received a 1/4″ here in Charles City, but it really didn’t help much we need a lot more. My lawn looks like a desert all brown. Please send some more rain mother nature.
