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

lots of good trout water down there.

i've never gotten a brookie, i just haven't found them, but i heard that when you do they're pretty easy to catch. but browns and bows can be pretty challenging.

you'll love it, they're beautiful fish and there's a real zen to catching them

here is a carp i caught (2009) with an arrow hole in it. just to be clear, i didn't shood this fish, it was still alive and it picked up my bait.

the sad part is, bowfishing on this part of the river is illegal. now, i know carp can migrate over large distances, but that would mean that this fish would have to jump over dams, and swim through water under an inch deep to have come from legal bowfishing waters

ok, for real now, lets get back to up-to-date photos

Trout Streams rarely have a dam or more than one...

Your story does not match up

Must have been fishing the Vermillion where not all of its waters are trout-designated and the closest dam is in Hastings and that is a far way from the trout waters

sould've made myself more clear, i meant beaver dams.

now i know that carp could likely jump over beaver dams, but that still means that that fish would have to travel many miles to get to where i caught it, and it would have to swim past not only beaver dams, but also areas of water that are only a few inches deep or have no water at all. and on top of that, the wound was still fresh

i went on a walk by that river a couple days ago, on designated trout water, and i ran into people bowfishing. i reminded them that its illegal to bowfish in that river and that the season starts may 1st.

to tell the truth, i regret posting that pic. it was an uncalled for rant and i apologize

went out scouting for bowfishing south of town and found a huge portion of flooded grass full of carp, buffalo, and gar, it will be a slaughter fest when the season opens up.

found a culvert where the buffalo were stacked and caught these 2 on a jig sight fishing, i was suprised on how they came up and looked at the gold jig and sucked it in.

this is the only time of the year you would find me with a rod and reel for rough fish, after May 1st it will be with an arrow grin

they were C&R

Hey thanks roughfish! I have been using a super ultralight ugly stik and like 3 lb. line, and I caught a few larger than that from my honey hole, but the others somehow managed to snap the line right on shore? Probably ran into some rocks I would imagine ... lotta rocks in that area.

I was out catching tonight on the lake I live on, Lake Pepin in Le Sueur County ... man this lake is a very shallow lake, with one deeper hole. Full of carp, among other species ... but in the cold winters it will freeze out, except for the hole ... and in the spring you will find all kinds of dead fish on shore. Tonight was no exception, as I saw probably hundreds of dead carp on shore. frown Pretty sad, some of them were large ... in this photo, the bottom left corner fish was right around 15 lbs or so ...

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
