What a fantastic deal great prizes along with great information to make the sport of fishing more enjoyable
Thanks to all Mark Barron

My son got a 29″ pike friday evening—– nice fish and its still swimming out there

THANKS all I’ll try the regional park—— I didn’t know about that one……….. Mark

OK thanks for the information guys i guess just seeing fish is great but nothing like having one on the other end. Think it might be time to take out the BullDawg on Bald Eagle

Thanks for the pics
Its an AWSOME experience to be in that stadium for a Packer game——-win or loose

I have a LMS 480 and love it. You also have to consider the chip you put into it. I got the one by navianics and i had very good luck and enjoyed fishing a lot more with this unit. I am still learning about it. I also got a set up so I can bring it in the house during the winter and power it with ac current so I can play around with it and learn. the ac/dc adaptor was about 20 bucks and worth it. Good Luck

Check at Menards I saw one there a few years ago it also gave you all the materials needed to build it. It consisted of a tarp with the ends of plywood. Looked pretty neat.

Thanks for the information— i’ll have to get some now and go try them.
Mark

Hey

Thanks guys for your expertise in the paint business. I am going to try Trails End and also visti Menards for some expoy. I really appreciate the information and now realize about the sealing. I’d never thought of that Happy Holidays
Mark

Thanks Briank

I’d really appreciate it. Not sure how the PM thing works here i am kinda a computer rookie. Guess that i just want the paint to last and be the right kind as long as i am going to do this,,,,,, Do it right or don’t do it at all is my motto. Thanks again
Mark

Thanks Ron

Do you use the raps the way they are or add some part of a minnow???

Hagberg’s in Lake Elmo right in Hwy 5…….. they make great sausage and fantastic brats,,,,, try them out.
During the hunting season they specialize in deer processing and have a big semi trailer or 2 that they keep the deer in and you can just bring in the entire thing and they take care of it…..

Has the no wake ban been lifted and where do you put in on the St Croix Walzer????? jsut curious i have a 16′ with a 60hp can’t go too fast but gets me where i need to go
Thanks

Fantastic and look at that smile—- I am in the same boat as your son as i am a teacher and I am not back to work again too. Take a kid fishing and show them what its all about I belive and you will not have other problems later on in life,,,,,,, Get hooked on fishing not drugs!!!
Great work plan on taking my kids out and seeing if we can hook a sturegon…..

I have a beagle and its there nature to bark but I guess you can’t have them barking at night because the neighbors have a right to peace and quiet too. So I got one to put on him at night….. partly because I have rabbits running all around the back yard that is fenced in and we let the dog run back there.

I got a catalog from a friend I beleive it was a company called foster. I did some checking at all the pet stores around and this was the best deal. I paid about $75 and its the kind that you can recharge with an electric cord. I did not want to spend all the time and dollars on a battery operated model………. So far it works great and you can hear when it is being used…. Don’t know if my dog is a slow learner but he still gets corrected every now and then but when i put it on him at night usually I don’t hear a peep out of him. I so much want to leave it off but when I have around 10:30 he starts up with the barking… so its just a routine now.

Its one of the best things i think i have done with him. Its not fair to the neighbors and I feel responsible when he barks late at night when its time to sleep——-

Good Luck and if you can’t find it online i’ll look for a catalog and give you the exact info.

Thanks for all the information guys I think i need to try to get one of these fish on the Croix……….. All the information and the pics are very helpful……

If i learn how to post pics here and i get one i’ll put it here for all to see

Mark

Great—- Glad you got a muskie even though you were not targeting them…. The release is the important part so it will be someones trohpy some day……………. I don’t know a lot about White Bear either so any info will help me out too. I use to have a fish house in the winter off of the Belaire beach and got lots of pike and a few bass…. but that was a different season as I said………….

I have tried the muskies on White Bear but have never connected as of yet……

I agree Jason I’d love to know also so you are not the only one that was wondering—– i’d guess a jig that you retreive slowly verses hopping and jiging back, but that is just a guess…. Be interesting to find out?

its open now– wanted to use it last friday but it was closed for repaving and painting
should be a go now

WOW I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE PICTURE

Thanks for taking the time to do that for me— Yes, now i know what you mean and i am going to try that both with the rubberbands and split ring…… GREAT thanks guys Mark

THANKS FOR THE INFO — that seems to be the majority of fisher people using that knot

How do you tie your spinner baits on to your line and do you use a snap or a sweivel? Thanks

[would it be possible for me to get in on the bait????

my e mail is [email protected]

not sure if this is the way to go about this because i am so new to this stuff on the computer]

Not sure if i know exactly what you mean but i don’t think i’d trust a spinner bait on the end of my line with just a small elastic rubber band??????? seems to me it you used a rubber band and a snap swivel to that there is lots of room for failure and breakage of the band——-

There is no loop on the newer spinner baits— but the split ring is a good idea i will try on the bigger spinner baits that i have that do have the loop—– the ones I am talking about do NOT have the loop just a little kink in the wire— thanks

August 5. 05 — got a chance to get on the river at the Kinnie early this morning. got some smallies carp and my partner got 2 cats over 10 pounds—- one hit a night crawler and the other a fathead. We were really targeting walleys but as you know on the river you get what ever you get. 2 small walleys then the boaters started around 11:30am so we left for another day——– the cats sure put up a nice fight and so did the carp and i think a buffalo fish— not a carp but looked very similar

Thanks for the site on knots—– now i have some learning to do before i hit the water again Friday—– I appriciate all the help. Mark

Just saw the link to the knot page— I suspose you can tell I am pretty new to this method of communications. Wow i am blown away at the information that one can find here if you know what and how to do it——– Thanks i bookmarked the site and will explore all the various knots-
