Still need a partner for the Mark Rehberg Memorial Saugerama, anybody interested? Tourney is next weekend. EDIT...NO TOURNEY IS THE 18TH AS DAVE SO KINDLY POINTED OUT TO ME...sorry Al

I got this pike last weekend it had a green back, silver sides and no markings on the fins which were a blueish grey... I got a few nice bass and lost a nice walleye, I took only a few pics, forgot the camera chip Do'H! http://mtbucket.blogspot.com/2008/10/some-mule-lake-bass-action.html...

Fishing goes to school: DNR offers workshops for educators, youth leaders (September 30, 2008) A hands-on workshop that gives educators tools to get kids outside and introduce them to the life-long activity of fishing is being offered at five locations throughout Minnesota in October. “The...

Well I finally got the pics uploaded from the trip to Alaska on the Alagnak river that Lance and I took in July (July 20-28). Pete's Dad and 3 friends joined and it was a great time. We fished kings for a good portion of the trip and chums on a fly rod were non stop action. We also got some...

It's some of my favorite fishing to do. I look forward to this time every year because I'm almost guaranteed some pike action. I've stated it at other sites though, I'm no walleye fisherman. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be a welleye fisherman....I'm just not. I caught my 3rd walleye in 3...

Anyway I'm heading to Willmar area, and will be on Green Lake. Probably a stretch, if anyone can go but figure I'd throw it out there. Anyway probably trolling shads, x-raps or w/e, for eyes. I'd be willing to do anything else, although I'm not real versed in bass fishin, but I'd do that too.

Thought I should share this story. My parents live on the Rum in Andover (which is great for me and my smallmouth fishing itch). So yesterday my dad was outside working on the house when all of a sudden he heard screams coming from the river. A Family with two little kids had capsized their...

This report is somewhat of a recap of my activities on the river between the Croix and the Miss for the last week. Summer is wrapping up and fall is in the air, you can feel it every morning you wake up. These cold nights/mornings are a pre-cursor to some very good fishing that is ahead of us. I...

My friends and I are heading to Kabetogama in 10 days. Does anyone have any latest updates on how fishing has been and what to expect in Mid September? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I’m going to head out to the St Croix in a couple weeks and try for some sturgeon. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or even fished the system up by Taylor falls, it will be my first time trying to catch one and was just thinking worms and a hook in a deep hole.Thanks Kyle

I hit the Rum a few times this weekend, once with the old man and once with the wife, Bug, and a parent from the daycare, who is NOT a veteran to fishing. the old man with his piggy one of the four fish Bug landed another

Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? We had plans made back in May to get up to Cass Lake, but my cousin with whom we were supposed to be staying with, still hasn't finished his house and is living in the basement at his inlaws. Instead, we are staying home, relaxing, floating the river with...

Well I have a few questions to ask you guys that use the open seat program. With the cost of fuel well over $3 a gallon, I have been thinking of posting open seats as often as possible. The questions I have are. 1. How many guys fish walleyes? 2. How many are willing or able to go during...

my father didnt believe me on how well we did so i am showing him whats up, any one interested in making a trip with us????

AlvinMack and I fished the a couple different northern stretches of the Mississippi Friday evening and Saturday. Friday evening we fished a stretch that was pretty shallow with a clay bottom with scattered boulders and a mostly clay bottom. Water clarity wasn't very good due to the clay bottom,...

The old man got back from Alaska and the wife took the day off, so we went and hit the Rum from the bridge just north of St Francis (CR 23), to the Rum River North landing. It was a whole different story from last weekend, for me. Not a single pike boated, but I had easily boated 25 smallies. ...

This year the tourney will be Oct 18th. Last year I fished with Kirt/Moreyes, and had a great time, its a laid back tourney and ya never know what you'll catch on the river. I need to find a partner for this years event, I have a boat, or will fish out of yours, whatever works. I'm not very...

Recently sent an inquiry to the powers that be regarding what it would take to get a landing dock installed at the Rum River South Park near the County Fairgrounds. Below is the response I received. Thank you for your inquiry regarding the installation of a dock at the Rum River South County...

So it's about that time. We will be meeting at the south west end of the St Francis High School at 9:00 AM, on August 16th and heading to the landing from there. I will watch water levels and decide where we will launch from, as it gets closer to the 16th. We will eat lunch somewhere on the...

Sounds like the bite as of the last couple of weeks has been very tough. Many boats are having to burn gas and run quite a ways to find fish. Wind reports for the weekend look to be pretty stable, but most charter boat captains here on the WI side are hoping for a couple solid days of a strong west...

Does anybody know any good places along the Cannon River to wade? I am looking to catch Walleye, Sauger or Catfish.

Another successful camp is in the books, and look at this monster slab easily over 2 pounds this kid got! We didn't get a weight, but it was 15 inches and very stout. We released it as we do with all our larger fish, mabye it will be caught again by another lucky camper next year! :) The...

Hey all my computer has been down but I have a new one now and here are some pics from earlier that I had no way of posting.. We had some dandys that day and I lost a absolute pig. I wont even say how big I THINK it was but lets just say it was HUGE...

Last Thursday I had the chance to take my boy out fishing. Without getting too wordy all I can say is that when Cody boated 7-8 smallies that it was a very very proud moment for me as a dad. He has been somewhat behind on his fine motor skills, but he makes up for it with his big heart. So I...

I am heading to Steamboat CO Friday for 4 days to visit my sister & to do some fly fishing. My question is am I able to bring my fly rod on the plane as a carry on ? Its in a case that is just over 4 feet long. What does everyone do when they travel with with their fishing gear ?

I had a great trip in the Boundry waters Canoe area last week, the pictures say it all! I took so many that I need to blog in 4 days! :) Enjoy! http://mtbucket.blogspot.com/2008/07/bwca-trip-part-1.html MT

Anyone want to hit the water to day for a little bassin? pm me if you want to go..

We've all heard the clichés..."bad day fishing is better than a good day at work; Work is for people who don't fish; etc." But, seriously tell us about your worst trip fishing. For me, I was fishing a summer night tournament just after getting my first boat...a fish n ski. When we left the...
