What you been up to Cheesehead?

[Cooter]

I see the forum has gotten quiet, must be cuz everyones out slaying big fish. So what you been up to? I've been enduring the constant struggle know as musky fishing - figure I'm due real soon for girtha to smack attack a treble adorned chunk of wood. Gonna do some bass and catfishin this weekend. Lord we need rain here. Later.

Yea, I noticed its been really quiet in here. That Jim fellow out by the bay must be really busy catching some big fish

I've been doing alot of fishing but not really a whole lot of catching. LK Superior has been really slow now for about 2-3 weeks. Been getting about one or 2 fish a outing. The St. Louis has been alright for walleyes if your there the right day. I've been doing some muskie fishing on the river to but havnt raised a shawdow.

Going back up to Nipigon for 4 days for big lakers again. Might hit Algoma and Vermillion so some trips to look forward to.

I'm kinda geting this little itch called hunting, is it to soon for that

Well besides being sick and in bed for most of the last week I've been on the St Louis chasing eyes and made a laker trip up on the gunflint. Our group is leaving for algoma in just over two weeks and I get to go fish the Rush river for a few days starting tommorrow if i feel up to it.

Ran, I can't wait to hear your report and see the pics from your nipigon trip. That's one place I need to go, gotta love them huge colorful char. Do you mainly target monster lakers or monster brookies?

[Super Black]

Your right guy's, this area has been quiet lately. Hope everyone is catching some fish. Was up on Rainy last week for a few day's and did well. My wife on the other hand has been fishing off the dock everynight with the flyrod and has been catching some monster gills. Last night I asked her if I could give it a toss and she said "shouldn't you still be in Canada?" Gotta love her!!!

I posted some pics on the Rainy Lake forum. Wish I could still catch a few of these around home..!!

Quick, for the last 4 yrs we've just went after the lakers on the big Nip. I know where they catch those monster brookies but its mostly a June thing and we always go in july. We might try it this year anyway for some brookies maybe get lucky.

Whats nice is if we get blown off of Nip we can either fish for blue walleyes or huge splake on nearby lakes.

You need to talk Chef into bring the balls a draggin up there I think you would love it. Good luck on LK mich and post some picks on the wi. site for us when you get back.

That Jim guy by the bay must be catching fish cuz I told him if he was I didn't want to hear about it!!

[Jim Hudson]

Too funny.... Been pretty slow by average for putting fish in the boat lately.. As Cooter seen last week... Yesterday, I did redeem myself on those bass!!! But I wont talk about that for Cooter's sake... Did well on some northerns as well yesterday, no size to them but caught plenty...

Now I am off to musky fish... Had some huge storms come through the area again... Man those winds are fun to watch as they come across the big lake!!

[outdoor ran]

Superblack, I went to the rainy site and checked out your walleye pics. Nice pics and some dandy walleyes.

[Cooter]

OK Jim I'm over it now - how bout a little recap of your revenge against the bass? You were out there with minnows, weren't you!!!!

[Cooter]

Hey QS, did you fish the Rush R in western WI? How'd you do? Find a hex hatch at dark? Any pigs? Later.

[Super Black]

Hey thanks Outdoor Ran, My father and I are packen up the boat and headin your way tomorrow for some laker fishing. We'll be out by Outer if the weather pans out. I'll post to what's goin on out there..SB

No I didn't make it down to the rush, i was going to do a 2 family visit/fishing trip but i was still feeling sick and my schedule wouldn't allow it. However, me and Illtakewhaticanget got some fly fishing in on the brule and he landed a 22 inch brown and we lost a few others. Not fast and furious action (i got skunked!) But seeing a resident brown of that size (which was released) made both of our trips.

I have heard a few reports of hex's starting further south and on the big lake area along with the designated trout lakes. All we came across were small BWOs and brown drakes.

Just got back from Merrick St Park on ol Miss - the fishing was pretty good considering the short amount of time we actually were on the water - we finally got that rain we needed, of course while I was out trying to fish! Nice campground and a variety of fishing opportunities - both backwater and main river. Although we didn't try it, sounds like the gill fishing is pretty good. Good bass fishing as well with lots of fish in the 12-14" range with larger fish present - biggest for the weekend was 18.5 although my partner lost one on the first jump that certainly was bigger. Will have to fish that again next year - gonna have to explore the river itself as the reports were the walleyes were biting well on the wing dams. Time to go Roundup a food plot. Later.
