My understanding was that this came about by the Wisc legislature passing of an anti-terrorism law and then railroad posted land and calling in law enforcement to begin enforcing no trespassing laws against local fisherman. Many fiends and myself have been crossing the tracks (like others) in prior years to fish the public lands adjacent to Mississippi. It has been very common practice for many years. Some old timers say they have been crossing the tracks for 50+ years.
Here’s the Wisc statute:
prairie bait shop in Kellogg (Shorty Larsen). River valley bait shop in Wabasha. Nelson gas station and convenience mart has minnows too.
Put it in the oven for a couple of hours at 120 F (50 deg C) for a couple hours with a small fan on it to move air and bake out the moisture.
A friend and I were canoeing when we dumped the canoe and he had both phone and camera on him… Both worked fine after baking the moisture out of them.
The manufacturers put a water indicator in the battery compartment which turns pink if the phone gets wet. They will not replace a phone that is claimed to be defective if the dot has turned pink.
I mow the leaves into a pile with my rider, then back the mower through them. The rider is more effective to mulch the leaves when going in reverse…
Not that this is your trailer problem, but as long as folks are sharing information…
Last year I borrowed a friends trailer in which the lights were thought to work good, but I found they had issues. Turned out that the ground from the connector was made to the tongue of the trailer, but given it had a tongue that was jointed, the grounding to the back of the trailer was intermittent. This had me quite bewildered as my problem changed as I worked on it.
Eventually, I realized that the pivot of the tongue would allow or disallow grounding depending on whether I wiggled the trailer and I then added a ground wire to the tongue to the frame. Problem solved.
Riverruns,
DNR studies show that most of walleye and sauger population migrate from Pepin to the Red Wing dam during winter. I expect this is due to fish following the warmer water temp. Hence Red Wing being the go to spot in the local area. I would guess that when the gates open in the spring, that the fish go upstream to spawn and then don’t make it back downstream, so move up a pool at a time.
Having fished the lower end of pool 4 by Wabasha the past few years, our better fishing for walleyes or sauger seems to come after a flood in the spring and the fish get through the dam at Alma and get distributed in the lower end of the pool.
What works for me later in the season is to use the smaller jig with wax worm. Then lower the jig slowly in the water column as though the waxie was slowly sinking to the bottom, stop and hold, then drop further… The fish like that falling motion, but being cold blooded, won’t be able to move quickly to take the waxie, so a little patience and slowing down the jigging motion is essential.
Use 2# line so that your line has no memory. You won’t see the bite with stiff 6# mono with coil memory like a slinky toy, so go out and get some fresh line. As you are lowering the waxie, be watching the line for the slightest indications that it has gone slack as the fish may come up from below with mouth open. They have little energy to suck in the food. When the line goes slack, then lightly set the hook… raise the line a couple of inches to set… if you don’t feel it, then continue to slowly drop…
You might want to price http://www.ting.com which uses the sprint cell network. You pay for what you use. The incremental increase for additional minutes is reasonable.
Smells like coffee, doesn’t it?
Trumar,
I went through the same thought process, wondering if something would be better for my 40 HP Johnson last year and in the end, decided to stay with the stock prop. I judged that there was too much uncertainty with knowing whether top end or take off would have cavitation, so I decided to stay with what I had as it worked well enough.
Did a search of the internet for your symptom…. found the below on a forum.
===================================
Googled “fuse TBC 2A” and found this little gem in an Escalade forum:

Subject: IPC Lighting Inoperative TBC 2A Fuse Open – keywords cluster dim instrument light panel #PIT4365 – (04/24/2007)
Models: 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
Some customer may bring in their vehicle stating that the Instrument Panel Dimming is inoperative. After initial inspection, you may notice the TBC 2A fuse that is located in the left IP fuseblock is blown.
Recommendation/Instructions:
If you experience this concern and can not isolate the source of the concern, inspect the wiring coming out of the IP relay block for a short to ground. Reports from the field have found issues with harness pictured below and the concern can usually be located 8 inches below the IP relay block.
(See Photo Below) The arrow shows where the harness rubs on the IP relay block support bracket near the holding clip. Remove the harness from the clip and inspect carefully. Repair as needed and insulate the edge to prevent a repeat occurrence.

Just performed a bulletin search. You can fix the problem yourself at home.
Left instrument panel fuse block. CAREFULLY trace the wiring harness from the bottom of the fuse block to a clip. In those 8 inches of harness, GM states they are finding short-to-grounds, which obviously will pop fuses.
So, you have a wire rubbing a clip, causing a short. Check that harness and fix it.
I think the wire coat hangers are a way to detect alignment of magnetic field due to iron in the water in the ground or iron pipes. So it should also be detectable by a compass, hall effect, coil or other field measurement device.
I don’t believe in the divining wishbone sticks.
I am not only against the 15″ limit on saugers, but also against allowing the “Minnow harvest for personal use”.
The minnows belong to the fish in the river. Folks should be out spending their money to stimulate the economy by buying their bait or lures at the local bait shop.
Starting out life above average! Congratulations!!!
I like to take younger kids fishing to introduce them to the sport. It’s much easier to teach them to fish with worms.
When trout unlimited goes in and banks streams in a cow pasture that was previously a good place to take youth because all the brush is knocked down, then the following year it is made catch and release only for the elite fly fishermen, it simply seems wrong….
I am quite sympathetic to the points being made in the article.
Saugers are a smaller specie than walleye, yet one should put the same size limit as the larger cousin? Where is the logic in that?
Best to stay away from wood basements since moisture and rotting limit the life of a poor install to around 30 years, much like if you put a post in the ground. The 110 year life estimate above is for ideal conditions where one lives in the desert or has perfect drainage where the wood is kept absolutely dry.
The pro’s are as stated by Farmboy, but the biggest down side comes both with moisture presence and most likely, you will have trouble selling it when you decide to move next time.
Upper right looks to be an Aster… what are the other three?
Probably one of their higher volume sales regions…
Len,
How come your top 10 seems to have only the first item?
Is that a statement or am I missing something that should be showing me 9 more items?
Pug,
If you pee on your vegetables it will keep the deer away…
Not doing… just saying!
Grouse,
I can identify with all the above, but I have found that some folks are just not wired to do mechanical work or understand how to take apart and fix things. I have folks ask me how I know how to do various tasks as have been described above and the best thing I can tell them to keep it short is that I simply observe others when I was young or as I needed to learn something. Recently, Youtube is very helpful as a reference to learn some new tasks.
You can use electrolysis using your battery charger and washing soda (sodium carbonate) in ionic solution to provide the conductivity to remove rust. Here’s a video of bolts that a fellow has on youtube that is showing an extreme case.
I spray my ankles with deet, but that does not repel gnats, but raw (genuine) vanilla repels gnats, so I would try the combination. I was bit up by gnats when trout fishing last month, so bought some Watkins vanilla extract and mixed it 4:1 in a spray bottle and have been using that both for trout fishing and in the boat on the river. I would give the combination a try.
I have a cedar deck that I should have stained the first year that it was put down, but delayed for 2 years allowing it to oxidize. I used a deck wash and followed it with a high pressure sprayer which took the oxidized layer off the soft wood but left the knots and hard grain still oxidized, so I was not impressed. I then proceeded to sand it all with a belt sander and 40 grit belt which worked pretty well.
I then used Cabot’s cedar tone semitransparent stain which gave a bit more orange shade than I care for but my neighbors really liked the looks of the finish. However, one year later, I can already see the fading from the sun on the south end of the deck, so I can’t really say that I would recommend Cabots, but still would prefer a semi transparent stain to other finishes.
Good news for the worst areas of the river down south, but that will just mean that the overpopulation is a cyclic phenomena for a few cycles until the genetically stronger of the species pass on their genetics.

LOL… Ozzyky, it doesn’t work that way. Time to go back and ask your mom about that!
Sounds like a small 12V solar charger would be a nice thing to take along if you don’t want the weight of a battery to transport. I got a couple for <$20 at Northern Hydrolics a couple of years ago and have used it to keep my batteries topped off, but I don’t know whether the output is going to work for constant current draw condition if you were using the battery all day long.
Pug,
I met Mike last winter over at Pepin, Wi where he was clearing off the ice by the harbor for his daughter and her friend to ice skate.
We chatted for around 10-15 minutes, but I found him to be conversant and likeable.
At that time, the show was just starting for the season. He told me he was a commercial fisherman and of course, threw in a plug for his show after I inquired about their having caught the invasive carp the prior year.
At the time, he commented on filming the show in that it tended to gravitate toward making a bit of drama out of the work and he specifically commented on the filming wanting to pick the crappy weather to add to the appeal… kine fo like Mike Rowe’s “Dirty Jobs”.
So, I guess I would not take what you see on TV as being gospel for how these folks interact.
Lots of Robins hanging out around the springs coming from below the Alma dam along the finger lakes in January. Did not see any on my last outing there in February though.
