Looks like you’re 1 short…

For perch I’ve had good luck in 12-14ft flats during the day with small spoons like slender spoon or other. Gold and chrome both work. Something tantalizing on the treble can make a difference too. I had some maribou ones that perch liked. Walleye might be bite windows now on break lines and structure. Not sure. Resort should have a report. Don’t be shy about moving around even small moves can put you on a fresh school.

^^^ Dueling augers would be cool except participants need to ride on them and first one thrown loses. Bonus points for crash landing into your shelter and crap…

i forgot 1 thing…….you dig it/make it in the month with an ‘R” in it. i do mine in OCT!!

Where’s the leather gloves? Your supposed to insult your opponent with a slap first aren’t you? 7 or 10 paces? So many questions…

AW MAN! RIP! Great personality. Brew crew were lucky to have him.

I’m with you on that werm. Braunschweiger, raw onion and horseradish sandos sound mint. Side effects may be heartburn, house clearing gas and eventually heart disease.

Sounds like a traumatic experience Haleys! Thanks for the recipe. I’ll have to look up to see what the foliage looks like and when to get at it. We have cropland down your general direction and plenty of edges to walk. Maybe I’ll be cured of my taste for the stuff.

steve…..not that hard….with the right equipment….. somewhat time consuming!!!

I’m all ears Glenn! PM me a recipe if you have one.

It most definitely looks to be stuff breaking cold. I may wait a weekend and follow your sage advice!

Heading up to fish this weekend. Going to be butt cold!

Glenn where you at?

Kind of surprised no mention of Sauerkraut yet. Eat it regularly.

Like horseradish and avocado a lot too.

With a lot of swine, John!

Hope will have some to share! Have some rust to knock off. Haven’t been out yet this year.

Can’t believe some Viking fan started a fire in LA just so the Rams won’t have home field advantage!

Wow…not even remotely funny to joke about regardless of fandom or otherwise.

Sounds good. Not trying to talk you into anything, but if that’s the only reason it doesn’t look like that’s the case on Bowstring anyway. There’s a layer of crusty snow by the looks of it. I have cleats anyway if not.

Heading up today and may get out a day or so. Reach out if you’re in the area.

Hahahaha! Pout in with his annual threat to torch his Vikings chair.

This is a different team than I’ve ever seen in my 50+ year fandom. Something special is happening and hope they can pull it off. Skol!!

Most definitely. Plenty of information on YouTube for both and parts should be readily available.

Deuces! Where you at buddy? Man needs some help with gift selection here.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ahead all!

There’s no fish anywhere around there. Just keep driving…

Happy Birthday man!

Keep fighting the good fight!

Grouse, you ever been to Holman’s Table in St. Paul at the airport? Never been disappointed down there. Have been to Moscow on the Hill a couple of times this fall and was good too, but holy hanna it’s heavy food. El Cubano and Taco N Madre over in WSP/West Side are good too. Those are some of our favorites along with others already mentioned in the area.

That’s not personal Erik, couples do stuff, simply gave an idea to what any fisherman would love to receive. Take it or leave it, I’m giving hope

I’m not in a position to disagree that any fisherman would love an intimate gift from their sweetie…I’d be taking.

TBH, some lingerie and a $200 scheels gift card between the t!ts is a better idea.

Good grief, Deuces. That’s fairly personal alright!

Guys shouldn’t buy their lady purses, and women shouldn’t buy their men fishing rods. It can be a very personal decision, just sayin!

Nonsense – she listed out some pretty nice stuff. I’m okay with a double standard here disallowing purse purchases, but not ice fishing gear from the lady.

IMO, unless really severe, Degenerative Disc Disease symptoms can largely be improved without the need for surgical or prescription medication options. Just need to make it part of your daily routine or you’ll just get caught in a unnecessary cycle.

Sorry Capt and others – Like a vehicle seat, not sure a wallet really has as much to do with the root cause either. Just something that feels uncomfortable that then tells your brain to send a pain “reminder” for you to not sit on it…I’m calling myth on this one. I know many who will make this claim too, but it wasn’t caused by the wallet. Well, not directly anyway .

Man Buzz – hate to hear that. Sorry.

I’ve had a similar struggle with a tweaky back for years after a water skiing incident when I turned 40. Finally got sick of it and started an exercise app a couple of years ago. When you can, adding a stretching and light exercise routine to other treatments can make a massive difference.

I really want to like my wing shooters but I just can’t. I gave them 2 hunting seasons to try and like them but they’re just too heavy. I put on a lot of miles over grouse and pheasant season and that requires a lighter boot.

I prefer waterproof trail shoes for upland hunting for this reason. They won’t last multiple seasons, but I have a cycle for my shoes once they reach a certain age anyway. By year two they become hunting or beater shoes for yard work, etc. That and it seems like I have more agility and less noise when walking in the woods.

Going to hit up some RGMA action this weekend again. Birds are well conditioned so will be doing some crashing through the thick stuff to hopefully get close enough for a shot.
