I will be in the Musky Mayhem booth. We will have Kevin tieing Custom colors for any of you who want to get a custom color made up. and NEW for the 2011 Minnesota Muskie show we will be making custom Hurricanes! But I will tell you that there is a limited quantity so if you want to get one make sure to get there early! Hope to see you guys and gals at the show!
I would look at Kent Andersons Jigs High tied rigs and jigs… The ones that Dean has might be Kents or at least thats what they look like. Kent puts a real heavy hook on his big chub jigs.
Total weight 19.7
Big Fish 5.8
Not to HighJack here but… Does anyone know where a guy could get some 1/16 or 1/8 ounce size blade baits? I would like to run some shallow water with them snap jigging and havent found anyone to have them this light. Thanks in advance!
Is there skeeter reel money for/in this tournament? and how many spots left… Do I need to hurry and get it in?
I have note book for each lake I fish! Its the best thing you can do I think because we all know their are so many different variables when it comes to fishing, but if you can figure out a few patterns and duplicate its always a good thing!
Do we have to pay for it or is it coming back standard again?
Great Report Joe! I agree 100%! The fishing can only get better around the area has the spring heats up!
What does everyone think about this? Personally I don’t see why they dont have pool 4 included if it takes off out of treasure island? Maybe i’m missing something here?
Weight- 23 LBS 4 OZ
Big fish- 7 pounds 2 OZ
I would say I’m in favor of a two day, Anyone can go out on a one day tournament and catch fish but the good fisherman can do it multiple days in a row, just like any other big event (AIM and FLW) I know if im coming from up here and bringing guys we would want a two day.
Fishing is shaping up to be good! Should be a good time for all the teams coming up! Bring the familys there is lots to do up alexandria! Good luck to all the teams fishing!
Dont qoute me on this but that is why we chose Le Homme Deiu because it is in the middle of the chain so people can go to the smaller lakes or people can go the the larger ones. Should be a great place for a tourny I have some past weights from fall tournaments out there that I will post once I find them in my folders!
I heard it was going to be in Alexandria But i’m not sure. I think Mark will let us know soon.
Ill be up there! Ive been fishing since it started it should be fun. Big weights I hope I have one of them, I know a few other guys who will be there that are on IDO
I’m going to second the Alexandria Area its a great place check out woodland resort on Miltona, its away from the crowds great lake for fishing anything you want. Not only that is the fact that you can get to able 30 other lakes within about 10 or 15 minutes. Lots of options lots of lakes depending on what your looking for. Golf, water parks, Amusement park and lots of other options for teh ladies, while the guys get out fishing. Also Its not nearly as far as Bemijdi, Vermillion, Brainard. Good luck let me know if you have any questions email is [email protected]
IF your lifetime lowrance Id stick with Lowrance. Look at the 520 or 522 both are great units have one on my little boat. Plus they are a color unit to really pick the fish off the bottom. Or for still short of $1000 you can get LCX-28C which has a nice big screen. I think they are running around $900 you will be impressed with that unit. Good luck let me know if you have any questions.
While many of the lakes around the Alexandria lakes area are open and ready to be fished, a few larger lakes are in the transition fase, in which you cant ice fish, and its not open water to boat around. I would suspect bigger bodies of water should be open this weekend sometime. With high winds and temperatures it should really rip through the ice. As for fishing people around the area or moving onto the smaller bodies of water looking for crappies and sunnies up in the shallows along the shore lines. Look for pencil reeds, river inlets and black bottom bays in the 4 to 6 foot range, where the water is warmer and the fish will move into. Crappie minnows or moptops with small jigs and a bobber have been working best. Afternoon and evening bite has also be best because of the warming temperatures. If anyone wants to get out let me know. This weekend and the next should be great weekends for fishing.
Well for all you guys and gals that got out this last weekend I hope you had a great one like I did. I dont know if it was just me or we were fishing in the right spot but everything was biting the hook. We had sunnies nice 8.5 to 10 inchers, Crappies 9 to, two 14 inchers and we had perch from 10 to 11 inches. The late ice bite is really on right now. This week should be one of the best weeks for late ice fishing. I concentrated in the pencil reeds where the warm maybe bit just a tich bit warmer. wax warms or crappie minnows, the fish were hungry. Good Luck.
Very well said Jason. Let them take pictures big deal!
I have talked to a few guys and I know they are going to sign up its not just a big priority for them. They will sign up sometime in late march or april. I wouldnt worry to muvh if your boat 93 you will be in.
I’m going to suggest Miltona also. Its a great lake big enough to try differnt things but small enough to know what your doing. IF not miltona their are other lakes in the area, Ida, Reno, Minnewaska, osakis, Chippewa,Irene and multiiple other ones. All these lakes are about 20 minutes from eachother, so if one lake isnt going another will be, dont want to limit yourself to one lake. Ottertail also is a good fishery but it is a huge lake, sometimes people get frustrated by that but it also can pay off!
I agree the Arrticle has some real good points to help out. I know I jotted down a few points.
I bet those pack a punch!
Suffix is what power pro is after about two days on the water. suffix is like it is already broken in its great stuff altough I still have Power pro on many of my rods too!
I have a questions then….. Does the lure sit above the leadcore or Below the lead core? or does it depend on what type of bait I am running?
Your going to need a printer that is huge. A rolland mymaki or Mutoh printer or Ghandi has a huge one I would call midwest screen and sign they have numerous shops and are a great company let me know if you need anything.
NO NO dont get me wrong here haha! I just know Brad (musky Mayhem) and Jason (chaos tackle) really well from Guiding and other stuff. Alot of time were getting off the lakes at the same time. So I know a thing or two they help me out I help them out. I went once Real late in the season when I had a day off with them and thats what we threw. THey have been doing it for a few years and they are just strating to let it out now.
i’m going to say neither!
