Duffman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hopefully you all have been able to get out and enjoy some unseasonable weather, I'd like to say I have, but it just hasn't been in the cards. But I'm about to embark on a little paddling journey myself. Hopefully I'll have some tales to tell once I return. Wear that lifejacket this time of year and know your limitations. See ya all out on the water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN BassFisher Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah, it's coming to a close unfortunately. I still plan on getting out a few more times in the kayak before the lakes ice up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookncook Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm lucky enough to have the LaCrosse River just a few short minutes from my house. If I get the NuCanoe itch, I can load up and put in. LaCrosse River doesn't freeze downriver from the dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolle141 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm hoping that the cold in Duluth will numb me enough to get a few more weeks down in the cities. Waiting for Thule to ship me a new Hull-a-Port. 45mph crosswinds off lake superior shattered mine a few weeks ago. Everything stayed on for the 200 feet or so to stop. Have to admit though, they gave me the single BEST customer service experience I have ever had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Canoed out of the BW yesterday while snow flurries were falling. I might be hanging up the canoe sooner than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN BassFisher Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah I bundled up and hit a small lake by me. I was there in July and the pike were snappin'. Yesterday I had one bite and it didn't hook up, SKUNK! Water temp was 45-46 degrees, I couldn't believe it. Dropped 17 degrees in two weeks.

ted4887 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yikes, that's a pretty big drop. Have the lakes turned over yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN BassFisher Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 2 weeks ago around here they got really green and algae like. I think that was the beginning of it. The lake I was on last night was super shallow and I didn't notice the water clarity being any worse or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
