Kolek planning to go pro
Headed to Lake of the Woods to do some ice fishing this weekend... hope they are biting!
Walleye bite has been good this winter on LOW.Fishing should be good on Saturday. There is a monster low pressure system coming in late Saturday afternoon. The morning and early afternoon bite should be fun before the front hits.Saturday night, it will be at least -30. Hope you have a block heater for your car. Stay safe. People die when they don't take this kind of weather seriously. I have to go to Duluth this weekend....not looking forward to it. Safe travels. Be sure to post some pics. If you are heading up throug Grand Rapids, Cut Foot Sioux Narrow, etc. consider stopping at Westwinds in Washkish. This place was the first resort to re-open on Red Lack during the lake's crappie resurgence. Great atmosphere with some amazing trophies on the wall.
Well, we decided to cancel the trip. Its just going to be too cold to do it this Sat-Tues. For the record we were going to Arneson's... if you've heard of it.
Talked to a guy today who went to LOW. The bite was SLOW. All fish were caught on rattle reels.
My wife and FIL went this weekend as I had some stuff to attend to at home... They are killing the walleyes, and asked me what the record perch was in MN. I'm hoping they bring back some sauger...never had it.
Chili: Just read this article and thought of you...you have one of these ice castles??It is from the WSJ, so I don't know if it will let you open it--if not, I can copy and paste:http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303519404579355112491789816
On two weekends this month I've gone ice fishing near Sturgeon Bay. Whitefish, both times. Freezer is now loaded. Any recommendations on how to filet the damn pin bones out of whitefish?And, any recipe thoughts, other than the obvious? Looking to try something healthier......
Getting ready to go to the lower Keys and hoping to book a charter. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any experience with charters in Key West? Hoping to go after Permit or Tarpon.
It's too early for tarpon. You should find permit. Try for snook too.Here's a web site to try. Go light tackle.http://fishkeywestguides.com/key-west-deep-sea-fishing/Try this place for breakfast. It's a real treat.http://blueheavenkw.homestead.com/menus.html
Breakfast with the chickens!
Glad you enjoyed it.Key west is a great town. One could get into a wee bit o trouble at Sloppy Joe's if they put their mind to it. . Arrrrh Did you make it to Mallory Point for sunset?
The picture is my neighbor and his 11 yr old son and their winning fish from this weekend's Full Throtle tournament on pools 3/4/5 on the Mississippi. The kid caught two 30" walleyes to seal the win.
My neighbors, Pete and his son Alex, defend their Full Throttle title today in Red Wing. Pete and I pre fished last weekend. 40 degrees and rained. Good foul weather gear is worth it's weight in gold on mornings like that. Caught two wallies before hypothermia set in.Fishing technology today is just...fun. From I-pilots replacing anchors to side and bottom scan sonar to incredibly quiet 4 strokes.
