Dan Thiem Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mark another one down for the books. We fished two sweet lookin spots on the Mississippi the had all the makins for a good flathead haven. Two runs fron 6:00 p.m. til 4:30 a.m. Still no flat for me but I aint done tryin! One of those two runs was mine and I broke 80# PP between the swivel and the ten ought. I only shook for ten minutes or so after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastewaterguru Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I am going out tonight as well. With the channel added (48 points) and hopefully a flat for you (another 40+ points).....That should put the team right at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastewaterguru Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'd be happy just being in the boat when someone gets a 60. I'll be the net boy for that any day. I just need to upgrade the 49 pointer I have on the board. Be nice to bump that to 70 or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveD Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Guys - I'll be out tonight too. I'm going to try some St Croix drifting for channels until the Twins game is over and then chase some flatheads. I'm hoping to upgrtade in both categories before the season closes. I'll let you know how the drifting bite is going. Sturgeon season is right around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thiem Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Another valiant effort for me last night. But still blanked. Bummer. But, I think our team has some very good news. Waiting for that news for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thiem Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Another valant effort last night! But still blanked. Gotta hit soon don't ya think?Still waiting WWG.....how big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveD Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I got blanked last night too, Dan. Unless I can count my turtle. If you catch a turtle are you still skunked? It was a big, nasty, mean tempered turtle. He was so pi$$ed off that I just cut the line and let him keep the circle hook.Hey Darren - Congrats on the 52. Great post on your catch. Thanks for keeping the Whisker Wranglers going. With each skunk I'm getting closer to my next monster fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will move us up a little.Keep the faith fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastewaterguru Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Will be on the water both tonight and Friday. Hoping to get that flat upgraded soon. I see a few other upgrades popping up for the other teams but not much being posted by the wranglers...... Let's make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just shot yourself in the foot!! LOL! I may have jinxed myself there I lost a nice fish to the "rock gods" last night and boated a 10 pounder. Oh well WWG just missed an upgrade by a half of a point. If I was on his team, I might have let him round it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksportsman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm gonna try to make something happen this weekend. I've only fished about 4-5 times since July 1st, a lot less than usual for me. I'll try to ramp it up for the remainder of the season. Good luck this weekend, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Here's WWG's "near upgrade" from last night. 35.5" x 18" Since he's on an opposing team, I didn't let him fudge the measurements at all Thanks again for a fun time, John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thiem Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Way to go WWG!!! Awesome. What did you catch it on? I sure wish I wasn't sitting on zeros for the flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'll answer for WWG It was caught on a bullhead. Shortly thereafter, I broke off on a nice fish that tangled me in some rocks. About an hour later, I landed a 10 pounder. A bit later, WWG lost one after a brief battle. All of our action came on bullheads after dark.

wastewaterguru Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Went out last night dodging deadheads. Got a nice channel but no upgrade. Blanked on the flats last night. Will be on the river a couple more times this week. Dan.....give me a call if you want to get out on the Minnesota this weekend. I can't catch a big flat.....but usually whoever is in the passenger seat has a pretty good chance. Ryan....are you in town this weekend?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
