There's nothing flowing over the dam last I saw. But, this last rain might have spurred a little.

I went over there about a week ago. Fished about ten minutes and left. It was literally elbow to elbow.

Big girls have been coming out to play.  Good lumps on the fly rod.  Spawn in full swing in the bullrushes nothing but splashing all along the shoreline and fish darting around.  A lot of tempting,  b

@srfishin15 Your girlfriend has a very nice Silver Redhorse.  There are some great ID help resources out there on the internet but I assume outside links are still verboten

Are these a Quillback and a SmallMouth Buffalo? Bad pic but wanted to get them back quick and did not want to drop them on the rocks.

Caught them both looking for crappies. Hit on a lil roadrunner spinner. Got 5 combined, landed 5, hits like crazy in about 45 min then gave up and went looking for crappies again.

I was out on Bald Eagle on Saturday morning fishing for Bass before the storms rolled in. I was pitching a black/blue swim jig into reeds when this big dark shadow came lurking out of the reeds and then my jig disappeared. I thought it may have been a muskie until I set the hook home and it turned to run - then I knew it was the under rated and not often seen Bald Eagle Bowfin!

Hi I am 13 and I am wondering about any carp spots (not necessarily hot spots) but places with some carp so I can try and catch my first on a fly. I live in woodbury, mn and I am willing to travel about 30 minutes. Thanks in advance

I went out today looking for Carp and boy did i find them. I started off throwing a 1/4 oz paddle tail jig. It worked well but to often I would snag one and have by jig come back with a scale on the hook. I then added a spinner to the jig (Beetle spin style) and was able to catch some in the mouth and avoid snagging them. I could feel the jig and line moving over there backs.

Here's a couple pics.

I have my size 12 foot in the pic for scale. The reel is a size 30.

Here's the biggest white bass I've ever caught out of the floods at 15 1/4 inches, and 3 3/8 pounds. It put up a great fight on medium tackle, and was safely released. Swimjigs work wonders. Can't wait to fight its saltwater-run cousin someday!

Yeah, i've got a nice catfish stretch pretty close to home that i've been hitting pretty frequently...Carp & Bowfin city too - a blast on a Medium walleye rod with no snags to deal with. I'm really looking forward to this stretch of river when ice fishing rolls around. This carp came on worms.

that's just a plain ol' common carp

it would be big news if a silver or bighead got caught up here!

the only other carp that might get caught in MN would be the grass carp (they have a longer body and different mouth [no barbels])but folks don't get too riled up about them since their numbers don't get too crazy

Cooler water temps slowed down the cats but ramped up the bowfin. Caught 5 of em yesterday afternoon.

5 bowfin!? Nice! I haven't found that action in MN yet. I got that nice one earlier this year flipping reeds but the only consistent action I can find is near my cabin in Western Wisconsin. People always make fun of me for targeting them at times but boy do they fight. Such a misunderstood species.

Well, come down to cannon/wells lake. Fish the inlets/outlets. Cut sucker or worms. Lost one that had to be close to 30" this past weekend.

I've had many come unbuckled close to the boat because i'm just using circle hooks, and i think it's about 50% success rate. The other odd thing about them is that they tap tap tap the bait like sheephead will, but they more times than not, take it and run upstream, so you have to reel fast to catch up to them. They can make some nice runs smile

fished some floodwater holes off the MN River specifically looking for dogfish- was tossing a spinner and caught 4 sheepshead and a white bass- the sheepshead were acting like bass and two of them swallowed the spinner! no bowfin though

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
