Said in the campy car sales chant...

Well even though this weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, I thought of a bright spot....

Its also the unofficial time that the rec boaters put up their toys....

Wont be long till we have the waters once again...

I second that brothers. I had my fill of pleasure crafts on Minnewashta yesterday! Rodney Dangerfield said it the best, "I get no respect."

Oh yeah! The game fish are gonna head back up their tributaries from the main rivers (for whatever reason) and just HAVE to stop at my line for a little snack!
I've waited all summer for Sept/Oct!

No offense to the hunters out there but this is when fishing is great, no people and big fish feeding!

I like to Hunt in the morning and fish the Mid-morning & afternoon away.

Yeah. I agree. My house is also gun-free.. but I LOVE fall fishing. No skiers, and a lot less competition and "spot crowding" too. Not to mention the good fishin . It's defiantly overlooked by some... September I rate as the best month for fishing out of the year. I usally pack the boat away in October myself. Time for the big hurrah! Now all we NEED is some RAIN so I can actually FISH the RIVER! Arg!!!

[can it be luck?]

Hunting or fishing? Tough choice. Last year I found a way to do both. I brought one of my salmon rods with me while duck hunting. Tied a 5' piece of heavy braided line to the decoys neck and hung a large sucker off it. No anchor weight of course.I then tied off to the curly tail then set it out. The sucker made the decoy's head bob up and down like a chicken! Talk about giving life to your decoy spread, I liked it better than my mojo duck! My partner thought I'd lost my mind...Until the decoys butt was sticking straight up and moveing away! The next morning when my friend came to pick me up to go hunting, he smiled and shook his head when he seen the rod,minnow bucket,potatos,oil,frying pan,etc. As I was loading up the gear I noticed that he had brought a fishing pole too!

I LOVE fall!

Yup-Yup, fall is good...I can dig it!

By far me favorite time of the year.

And it stays fall until I shovel the first 1' of pre-winter off my steps too!

It's not "Officially" Winter tell I can walk on the ice.

Then I may eliminate a bit of late fall denial.....and start to think winter....maybe?

Mid-September through mid-November are the best two months of the year IMHO! And then the next two months are the second best!

I made a trip to a local lake yesterday near Hibbing and was surprised by the leaves already making a noticable change in color in some areas...

I got to the lake and noticed about half the boats already pulled on shore to be stored. We had all of 1 (one) other boat on the lake with an elderly couple to compete against.
