New to the board

[D-Rock88]

All,

I just registered here and thought I would say hello. I met Johnny P at the WBL boat launch on Saturday afternoon. I only fish WBL a half dozen times or so each season... I like it best in the fall. I spend most of my time fishing Waconia, Tonka, and in the heat of the summer I fish Cedar (New Prague)quite a bit. I do recognize a few names here from the MH board, where I am a regular contributor of useless information.

It was nice talkin with you Johnny, my Mom was so excited (after having caught her first Muskie) and you made it even more special for her with your praise and excitement. It was the first time she has been fishing in 15 years. I look forward to trading info with the MN boys (and gals?) from this site.

Oh, yea... I am a member of TC Muskies Inc. Last Sat I helped harvest 176 24"-30" little beauties, that all went into WBL.

Good Huntin, don't put the boat away, it's big fish time!!!

Welcome to FM D-rock. Be sure to check out all the other forums, there is plenty of useless information being given out all over!

Any connection to the D-Rock landscape center over in New Brighton?

[D-Rock88]

Nope... no relation, thats on old Hwy 8, right? If I did own my own business it would probably fail... I spend way to much time fishing, or thinking about fishing, unfortunately, more often the latter.

D-ROCK88 did you go to the last muskies inc meeting? Me and my dad would of gone to the stocking ponds but work got in the way for him.Welcom to fishingminnesota.

Thanks for the welcome... I did not make it to the last meeting... I have seen Brad Hoppe give seminars in the past though, he is rock solid, he guides on Miltona, which is an awesome up and coming Muskie fishery. I do plan on attending the next meeting. and FYI, I have never won the big drawing either. Did you make it to this years lure swap? That is a must attend event - incredible deals, a lure junkies dream!

[Andrew Erickson]

The lure swap at the resturant in Blain?Yea ive been there its pretty awesome.

[D-Rock88]

thats good too, but what I was referring to is the Manufacturers night for the TC chapter MI, tackle reps and guys looking to sell or swap stuff take over the KOC hall. I picked up a new Fig Rig Tooth Tamer Rod for $75. Check it out next year.

D-Rock88, Welcome to FM! Well your mom should be proud, sounds like she was the only one on the lake that put a fish in the boat.

[D-Rock88]

As I like to say when my partner catches a fish in my boat and I don't... It's all about the guide

[MetroSteve]

Uh-Hem, and who per chance turned you onto those spots? LOL, saw your post on MH board, nice job! I will be on WB on Saturday, hope I see you guys out there. Grey Lund with my little 40HP. I am now keeping suckers alive in a large aerated cooler in my garage. Can't wait to soak em again.

PS Derek, call me on my home phone #, I hardly ever use my cell, ususally just sits in the truck all week.

[D-Rock88]

Phoe, er I mean MetroSteve, True indeed... It was not far from where last year about this time we nailed a similar fish... and you sir, were the guide. Thanks again for the sucker education. I'd like to get out with you again this season before the door is shut, I'll give you a call.
