I don't mean Wild Rice Reservoir. I know it's REEEEAAALLLLYYY early, but I'm looking forward to ricing this fall. I've been researching online, but can anyone tell me first-hand about ricing near Duluth? I've only been ricing once, near Aitkin, and I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on ricing around here!

As far as major rice lakes, you're gonna have to travel west or north.Regarding any of the smaller rice spots in your area, I'm not sure anyone is going to be willing to post these and you'll have to do some scouting on your own.

I'd agree with PEATMOSS, I think a good wild rice bed is like asking for someones morel patch!! It's not going to happen grin

I rice annually, and each year every lake is different depending on many factors. Do some scouting starting in july, that's when it start appearing. It'll start standing up in August and be ready for harvest soon after.

Check out the headwaters of the St.Louis. its a decent drive, but way worth it. Seven beaver lake area. We put in at skibo mill and paddle up stream to Long lake. check it out on the atlas. no need to be tight lipped, there is plenty of rice. it is the wild rice haven. sorry if i busted someones spot, but we go there and don't ever see anybody.

If you are in Duluth, stop in at the 1854 Authority on Haines Road. They have wild rice resource guides (lakes, productivity, access) on hand. Or go to their HSOforum. They do scouting reports during August and post them online. Some interesting material and a good place to start. This is only information for the ceded territory.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      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…

      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.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      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.
