bite the bullet and talk to Lonnie at Thorne. Will cost more up front but you wont be dissapointed. Plus theres always something about picking your own grips and flare.

Its by drawing again but we are trying to get more for 1st place.

With a decent payout you would have no problem filling a tournament on Vermilion. There are plenty of people who are waiting for someone to step up and get a MN tournament series going again. The DNR has changed there rules on tournaments so getting a permit may not be easy for prime time on that body of water but you would have no problem getting 150 boats for that entry fee. Best of luck hope you can make it happen.

Do an internet search and bring the lowest price you find to a local store. i did this and saved myself $400 on my 1198. Still a ton of money but do not regret it one bit. amazing things you see on the maps that you do not with smaller screens.

blackwoods or valetini’s. Duluth grill for breakfast

A 7′ rod will work but you would be much happier with a 8-9′ if you will be fishing all day. May be a little akward at first but your body will thank you.

Isles and Sens were there home opener so extra energy from players and fans.

Not drinkin the cool aid yet but have playoff hopes for this team.

A couple from the St. Louis.

The chip does have a lot of hazzards many shredded props out there each year. Lots of water to cover. My advise call Tanner Wildes and eliminate most of that water. He can show you Panfish, walleye, and muskie spots.

Spent the last 3 days on the Lou, been moving fish but so far I have just been trying to get familiar with the river. Should have had a low 30″ but pulled out of the figure 8 too soon.

I really need to get some sun screen in the boat.

I would highly recommend getting a guide your first day. First they can put you on fish and a big second is there is plenty to hit up there. you do have to be careful on the flowage. many rocks to hit expecially if they lower the lake level. give Tanner Wildes a pm on this site. from what I hear from friends he is a hell of a guy.

Just look for the trucks lined up at the lester and french. Easy to see from the road.

If you are just staying on Fall the campground should have day use permits for you to purchase. If you are heading to Basswood I would reserve a permit. I believe only a small portion of Fall lake is permit required.

Thanks for the report Tanner.

We hit Chetac on Wednesday and thursday and targeted perch and we found some very tight lips there aswell.

thanks guys, I think I will be buying the down easts. I would hate to lose that kind of cash because of looks.

Amazing game!! should be an interesting OT

I caught 10 fish in an hour and a half this morning all under 14″. Real light bite. I hear there are some pigs being caught though. My best spots have come away from the little cities out there.

Welcome,

The river has some areas with current so be careful of ice conditions. If you hit park point try areas away from the crowd. It is hit or miss down there but plenty to be caught.
Be sure to jig and a dead stick as they change what presentation they prefer often.

Last I heard Gander was going private. Not sure if this happened yet or is still going to happen but like most retail stores these days they can not afford to have any carry over to next season so they are not stocking as many items.

They need a dominant starter that can stop a losing streak. Giving Punto a $4 mil a year deal was dumb. And where is the $90 mil payroll they promised, looking at the team payroll they are playing like would be expected of the 7th lowest payroll team. Can only expect a bunch of no talent clowns to catch lightning in a bottle for so many years before they play to their expectations. Sorry to be negative but watching this is painful.

Nope Longville area!

This girl came through and saved a slow week this morning. should know better by now than to try and fish over the fourth.

I had problems a while back aswell. Tried 3 different computers the first two were on HBC and had no luck. I then went to the cities and tried and it worked just fine. Not sure if it was the company or not but if you have HBC that could be the problem.

We are planning on fishing it. I hope its not all slush on the lake by then.

I hope Laperriere reserved a room at HCMC! Have a feeling he will be spending the night.

GO WILD!!!!!

Loopers!

Wats, thats the only lure I have seen you ever use, the crappies love um

Purple Mini Mert, went from nothing last year to on fire this year. I was outfishing a guy so bad one day he gave me ten $$ for one.

I am going to revenge a loss from earlier in the year this week. Rivereyes lookout!!! All in all I would say it was a pretty competative year this year. no ten win teams and the teams that started out on a bad note didnt quit.
