Any Action On The River?


Recommended Posts

Looking for some tournament reports coming from thee "Ole Muddy". I know that there should have been some events by now. Anyone can brag or cry about how they did.

How about any crappie tournaments out there?

The Minnesota Tournament Trail opened there season in Red Wing this weekend. The weather was nice and the fishing was a little tough on Saturday and better on Sunday.

Adam Adler and I took 9th on Saturday and 2nd on Sunday. It was a no cull tournament and we ended up throwing away to many keeper fish on Saturday AM in hopes of a big weight. Sunday was a different story as we had our 6 fish by 8:30 AM, weighed in at 9:06 and were done for the day. It was just one of those days every tournament fisherman hopes for, but never seem to happen. I was a nice start to the MN Tournament Trail season.

We also fished the WWA two weekends ago and boated nice fish each day but unfortuately a 3lb average wasn't enough to cash a check. Some real nice prespawn females were brought in that weekend and that is what it took to cash a check.

We will be back down in Red Wing the weekend of the 25th and 26th fishing the MTT, but the Lake Pepin Open is also that weekend. Both of these events are RCL Championship Qualifiers.

Oh, on a side note, I did land a Flathead that was between 60-65lbs on Sunday. It took a half hour but it was worth it. WE brought it in to the weigh station immediately but the scale only went to 50 lbs. A few pictures and she was released. I have never seen such a creature. Truely and impressive fish.

I just posted this in the panfish forum but we were using Green/Chartuese Scenic Tackle Jigs, in 3/8 ounce. We got two fish with plastics but the majority came on the plain jig/minnow combinations. We mainly worked the sand flats in 10-14 ft. We did get fish shallower and deeper though.

We did get 5 fish over 6lbs prefishing pitching the same Green/Chartruese Scenic Tackle jigs shallow. But, we were using the 1/16 ounce jigs then. The water is warming up fast now. I would imagine the majority of the spawn will be over by the end of the week. Hope this helps.

I am working on getting some weekend pictures up on our web site. Including the big cat-Hopefully soon.

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
