Dutch, you better get driving if you’re gonna make a run for the title.

A lot of guys add air bags inside the coil springs on the rear of the 1/2 ton Rams to eliminate squatting. I’ve installed just a many airbag kits on the leaf springs of other 1/2 ton trucks for the same reason as well.

Reef, that’s what the kids are for. They can manage the cooler and keep the driver hydrated.

Haha. That’s an old Ram. And that is absolutely normal in mn. I see Ford’s and GM’s like that every day!

They do have arguably the best V6 engine made in them. I love those Honda V6’s.

They’re all over priced and under built now days. I’m not impressed with anything built in the last decade. They all have problems. Pick your poison.

I’ll take the bait. What do you drive?

I’m like 05-06 GMC’s 1/2 ton with a 5.3. I have two of them.
One with 300k and one with 250k. They’re getting hard to find that aren’t rusted out. I like them because they’re basic and about as easy to repair as they get. Neither has ever left me stranded.
I also have a 1996 F150 that’s currently in retirement, it’s still solid, just needs to be resurrected and driven. Just haven’t had time for that one recently.

It’ll depend on the weather prior to your trip. The river is generally high in May. If it’s been a wet spring it could be very high. When it’s high, the current is pretty strong. Floating down river in a kayak would be fine but I doubt you’ll be paddling too far up river. It’s a great stretch for pretty much everything that swims though. Find deeper areas and soak a crawler on bottom and you’ll catch all kinds of fish.

I’m not sure if this was a question or a statement. Yes, the best way is with electronics.

Many people just head to the largest concentration of other fisherman and go from there.

One big mistake I see made often on large pressured crappies is getting too close to the fish. Stay above them. So many guys drop right in their faces and that’s not natural to them. Food generally tries to avoid being eaten. If they’re roaming 1-3ft from bottom I’m generally working my bait 5-8ft off bottom. Make them make the decision to investigate. If you can get them to rise, you’ll have a much better chance of getting bit. It’s sometimes amazing how long a crappie will look at a bait before deciding to rise and eat.

Waylon, Harley, Duke, Tuke, Yeller, Sam, Shamus, Hank, Ruger, Jaeger, or Jasper.

I’ve been there, it happens to the best of us.

They’re are plenty of schools operating today. Busses will start in the cold if they’re prepared for it.

Drove by last weekend. I’ve never seen so many wheel houses out there. Hundreds of trucks on the lake

Yeah it got pretty ridiculous pretty fast.

I wonder why the bite isn’t like it used to be?

So…. what exactly do you think where means? Types of structure maybe? Area of the lake maybe? Here is a tip, stay away from structure.

Read his actual post. He didn’t even use the word where.

Here is a tip, stay away from structure.

Probably all you needed to say, but you do you, chastise away.

What’s the difference between where and what type of structure? He’s asking for a location, or, hear me out, WHERE!!

Ripjiggen wrote:

Gee I wonder why. The offer was so inviting. He did not ask for the where and how. He asked for any tips on types of structure. A lot of weeds rock sand and mud on the pond.

I guess next time someone wants a tip on fishing just PM Grubson instead.

Grubson relax. Guy asked for some tips on targeting perch on a lake that is 130,000 acres. Thought this is what this site is for or is just for political biatching.

And I offered to help him out via pm. Crickets. He apparently doesn’t want help, just for someone to tell him where and how.
Regardless of the lakes size, it’s a limited resource with extremely high daily limits. The perch aren’t everywhere either. It doesn’t need extra publicity. I’ve seen good perch fisheries get pounded until they’re very few left. Mille lacs will be no different. It’s taken nearly 20 years for the perch to recover from the years of over harvesting out there (used to be 100/ day) . Sorry for worrying that it will happen again.

There’s better ways to learn how to fish. Plastering it up online will only make it harder for you to succeed. Phone a resort, they’ll help you out. If you want generic perch info I’m glad to help. Naming lakes with hot bites online isn’t helping anybody.

Do you not have Facebook and follow the resorts? And believe it or not this is a much more discrete place to post than putting it on ice fishing minnesotas Facebook page

Lol. You don’t need the internet to catch fish. Go pay for a road pass and ask advice. Or maybe, just go fishing. Have you ever wondered how fish were caught before the internet? It takes work, effort, and trial and error. It’s far more rewarding when you do it on your own and don’t need the internet to tell you how. PM me if you need some help getting started.

That’s why I’ll stick with carbureted 2 stroke machines. They always start. I’ve seen it too many times with modern machines. They’re not made for the cold.

It will certainly last longer if we don’t post about it all over the internet……..

It’s hard to believe that a guy would post a link to an article about Aaron Siri’s opinion and claim it was RFK’s opinion. Did you even read your own links? Unbelievable. Great arguement.
