Gonna try to get my father-in-law hooked up with a bi Musky on Forest Lake Friday. They live on Bald Eagle so I guess it makes a lot of sense to take him somewhere else to fish!! I'm also planning on spending the rest of the time playing outside with the kids and taking them swimming somewhere.

Have a safe weekend everyone!

I am hanging around here this weekend, probably go fishing on some of the local lakes. My buddy Ken took me through the woods again to a backwater lake, trudged through muck to get his little 12 foot boat in the lake and fished for sunnies. It is always quite an adventure when I go with him, but they sure tasted good for dinner. I have to invest in some waders if I want to keep fishing with him! I will admit it is kinda neat fishing on a lake with absolutely no one else around.

LGFWS was going to do the parade in Nashwauk, but decided against it. I will probably be at the one in Deer River next weekend at the Wild Rice Days.

Blowing up some fireworks on Saturday. And have a BBQ at my brothers. It'll be the 7th annual 4th of July Extravaganza at the farm. Not much else planned.....

[Sandmannd]

Little fishing, little firwork blowing up and a lot of family time!!

[hopeforfish]

I will be heading to the cabin Friday morning. Will be going to an annual party that afternoon and fishing the rest of the weekend, I hope.

I'll be busy blowing up morters & 500g cakes on Saturday.

Our family is a bunch of pyros when it comes to fireworks on the 4th....Our display lasts longer than the one they have in East Grand Forks.. (we can see theirs from the farm)

[Iambjm]

I spent yesterday pulling weeds in the garden and staining our deck. Just might go fishing today.

[FishNovice101]

Am out on Leech Lake right now with a thousand other boats watching the fireworks. It's awesome!!

[Iambjm]

I went fishing at lake X last night and got skunked, well not skunked if you count the two little hammer handles I caught. My dear friend told me the locals have been hitting it pretty hard. His son and about 30 other people were there camping and his 2 grandsons were out fishing by me. I gave them some leeches and trolled down the shoreline, pretty soon they came racing over to me to show me the 20" walleye they caught on the leeches I gave them. At least they caught a fish, when I was loading up their dad told me they had been out there fishing all day and hadn't caught anything. I guess I helped "make their day"

[Debbie K]

DH and I were in LOW on the 4th and got our limit of eyes in about 2 hrs. Had to toss back a 22" though.

[UdeLakeTom]

That's what it's all about. WTG Barb.

Did not get much fishing in this weekend, too many people on the dock, swimming or using the boat for water fun. We did get into a bunch of nice sunnies for a little while on Sunday. The sunnies will be the first fresh water fish that my sister in laws mother will ever taste. She is from the Philippines and has been wanting to try the local fish.

Hope

[fish-n-fool]

Tried for a couple hours yesterday myself... but yeah.. Lots of boats flying around pulling tubes, kids swimming... Too much traffic to do much of anything but try keeping the boat upright from the waves of the recreational boaters.

Oh well.. still have some leeches left for next weekend, even after I gave some away. Sounds like I fish like ULT, don't it?? Hope someone else had a little better luck.
