Tips & Tidbits - by Tami & Lisa

If you google fishing journals, there's a lot of them out there. I can't remember where I got this one!

[Iambjm]

Great tip Lisa!! We used to keep a log of what we caught in just a spiral notebook. But after looking at the one online I figure I can design my own using a database program. Then I can either print sheets out or keep the info on computer or both. Although not too much too enter from this winter. At least I had a decent summer of catching some nice walleyes.

[Lisa Almquist]

That's a great idea. Then you could plug in your own personal important items to remember. It could be more like a blog then. I like mine because then I have a wire bound book that everyone can just pick up and read at any time.

I'm not religious, but concider myself spiritual, that being said this is one verse I like to observe.

Jesus said " Go fish ... "

Luke 5

He never said anything about, shoveling the driveway, painting, fixing the dripping sink, mowing the yard, or washing the truck.

reelemin, but my boss said stay at work. he signs the check. go fish 3 more days to winnie. yea!

[reelemin]

sorry, there is always that darn BOSS factor, isn't there

[glenn57]

thats an understatement, especially since he doesnt fish. oh well can get more toys this way.

[Iambjm]

What good are the toys if ya don't have the time to use them?

[glenn57]

[Lisa Almquist]

It's 41 degrees here!!! I just noticed how absolutely beautiful it is!!

[Eric Wettschreck]

Lisa, will you call my boss and tell him you're my doctor and that I have to leave work now??? Please??

[Lisa Almquist]

No problem! Here's what I'll say! "Uh, Mr. Boilerguy's boss? This is Dr. Workbuster. Boilerguy's got a really bad fever. He needs to come in for his spring checkup!

Good mornin north country fishin folks.

I was wondering has anyone tried Big sand lake this winter?

I fished it last year once and did well on nice perch.

Me and a buddy are thinking of heading up that way this weekend hes got a brother that lives near wirt,mn. Also has anyone fished Dora lake it also has nice perch?

I guess i should have posted this in another area maybe the grand rapids area. I'll check to see which is the best area on the list.

[glenn57]

slamnfish, our place is just south of wirt on cty 29.

[SlamNFish]

Hey thats cool!!! Ya my buddies bro just retired up there he and his wife built a beautiful place on a small lake near wirt.

Ive grouse hunted and duck hunted and fished in the area.

Beautiful country around there.

[DeeDee]

I think anywhere in MN is beautiful country. By looking at all the pictures one can almost take a deep breath and smell the freshest air ever!

[Lisa Almquist]

Sorry to say SlamNfish, I don't believe that Fishing Minnesota will ever have a Singles Forum. Feel free to use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page if you have any more suggestions/questions though!

I bet!! We can't either!! We all have Spring Fever so bad right now!! You just get tired of looking at the snow!

[Eric Wettschreck]

June will come whether we want it to or not.

Until then, the ice is plenty thick. Get out and catch some fish.

[Lisa Almquist]

Some of my friends/sisters laugh at how much time I spend fishing. I've finally found a hobby that I'm decent at, have great fun at AND sometimes get a great dinner! I've also met some really great people out there on the ice/in the boat. What more could you ask for.

This is why it is SUPER IMPORTANT to get kids interested while they're young. I believe if girls especially are shown that it's not "icky" to fish or hunt we'd have a lot less troubled youth running around.

[Eric Wettschreck]

Agreed. I fished a lot with my daughter when she was younger. She went pheasant hunting, duck hunting, and deer hunting with me, too. She didn't enjoy hunting as much as I do, but almost everytime she comes home to visit we go fishing.

When she leaves to go back home, for some mysterious reason, a bunch of venison comes up missing from the freezer. Hmmmmmm.
