Remove your prop and check for fishing line wrapped around the shaft.

Thanks for the number BK. I just reported the green can that has been on shore in front of the Lake City Dairy Queen for more than a year… it’s upright now with the high water.

Will you post a picture?

FYI… there was a huge Mayfly hatch on Central Point yesterday/last night.

Used mine (Firetiger) last week up in Canada trolling in 6 – 8′ of water. I was the only one in our group of 4 to have one and everyone was scrambling to come up with something with Firetiger color. Even when they did, the scatter rap out produced what they were using.

You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers.

No ice-breaker as of this morning. Sorry about no Picts. Will try next time.

It’s open water on Central Point, as the ducks, seagulls and eagles are definitely enjoying it.

Prayers and positive thoughts sent your your brother’s way.

There was an article in the Mankato paper a couple of years back about a young man who you could order shiners from… “Tye’s Shiners”. I never used him but it sounded like you could call him and place orders. Here’s the number that I have for him… 612.386.8942. Good luck and let me know how/if it works out.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Tom – My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, MIKE

Jimmy D’s Riverbug jigs are my go-to lure on the Mississippi river and in Canada.

I had the same thing happen before… try removing the prop to see if stuff (line/weeds) is wrapped up in there. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks for sharing a great fish!

Ditto on the mold issue… after 4 years, we had to clean the mold off in order to made it look good again.

I believe two years and I wasn’t asked.

Congrats!

My favorite is a Jimmy D’s “river bug” jig in black or olive.

What a fantastic fish!

Nice fish!

I’m having some “re-model” work done at the Marine Center in Lake City. They will be replacing some carpeting when they finish. Not sure if they do upholstering… if they don’t they may know of someone who does. Try James @ 651.345.4124

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure both of you will remember that fish forever!

I had the privilege of fishing with Wayne a few times… he was a very good man. I hope he’s in a better place and that the fish are always biting for him. My condolences go to his wife and family.

Thanks guys! It’s appreciated.

I bought the BoatBuckle tie-downs for myself last year and I love them. Unfortunately, I’m not able to fish 150 Xs a year… but if I did, these things would be a huge time saver. I got mine from Cabelas…

BoatBuckle Transom Tie-down
This retractable transom tie-down system is like a seatbelt for your boat. Self-storing straps extend up to 43″, but automatically retract to hold the boat snug to the trailer. A built-in, one-hand ratchet with SUR-Grip rubber-grip handle and release lever snugs the strap with a lift and click. Vinyl coating on the hooks protects your boat’s finish. One-bolt installation makes the BoatBuckle part of your trailer so it won’t get lost like conventional tie-downs. Per pair.
Rated capacity: 3,000lbs. – 5,000 lbs./ pair.
Available:
•Standard – 5,000 lbs./pair
•Stainless – 3,000 lbs./pair
•Universal Bracket

Here’s what we woke up to in Mankato this morning…
