I belive you are missing Denise.

So looking forward to this. I told my husband today that I'm doing this. He asked how I'll be fishing - I told him 'with my boat of course'. He acted like a baby that had his candy taken away!! Pretty funny. Wants to know what he will do if he wants to go fishing too. Well we have a 14ft Alumacraft w/25hp Evinrude. Guess he'll have to use that one. He he he!!

[reelemin]

Good one Char. LOL LOL

I've invited a friend to meet me there, so Teresa +1....she fishes! I'm bringing the pop up since I have it...and prefer a bed to the hard ground. I too have a lantern, cook stove, lots of plastic dishwear. I think the pontoon sounds awesome...and then fish from boats later. I'll be up mid to late afternoon on Friday. I'll bring a canopy too. I am pretty excited! Are we fishing for anything in particular? Walleyes? Crappies? I hope no one is offended if I keep my catch. I can filet pretty quick.

[reelemin]

Tersa - we'll be fishing for walleye mainly. May go for some small mouth bass mid day when the walleye bite slows.

The methods that are productive right now are,

- lindy rigging w/leech or crawler

- bobber w/leech

- trolling w/leech or crawler

if you don't have bobber rigs, lindy rigs or trolling harness made I can show you or anyone else how to make them.

you'll need:

- line - fireline 6#

- #2 hooks ( green or red )

- beads - gold and red are working right now

- blades - # 2 or 3 - gold or silver will work fine.

- lindy weights and bottom bouncer weights

For smallies - I use soft swim baits alot, plastics texas rigged, and some crank baits.

[teresa]

I hate leeches.....and don't ever use fire line, but will rig up for walleyes. Thanks.

[reelemin]

ahhh - leeches are our friends !!! cuz fishies love them !!!

[teresa]

You'll have to teach me to love em. I look forward to fishing differently than I usually do. I;m a crappie gal, so this will be a fun challenge.

[reelemin]

I'm with ya there on the crappies. I love catching and eating them.

[Lisa Almquist]

I heard bobber rigs were doing pretty good right now on Mille Lacs. Crappies are a blast if their biting!

[reelemin]

Hey Ladies.

the weekend weather is shaping up to a great weekend for walleye fishing.

Anyone heard anything about the mayfly hatch?

Are they hatching anywhere up north yet?

[Lisa Almquist]

No hatch yet up north! I hope that great weather holds!

Hey Ladies,

So sorry for the late response - I've been at the lake fishing

Unfortunately, my family as changed the plans for Father's day and so I won't be able to make it to the GTG. I'm really bummed as my 21 yr old daughter was hoping to make it too. I will anxiously await the next one.

I'm with the all of you on the crappie fishing. Caught a 14" yesterday as we fished in the sprinkling rain. It is as round as a dinner plate. I will try to post pics later today. Kept her to hang on the wall.

Have a great weekend!

Denise

[Lisa Almquist]

Denise, you will be missed! I forget it's Father's Day this weekend.

Good job on that crappie! I love crappie fishing too. Can't wait to see you pics.

[reelemin]

Sorry you can't make it Denise - there will most likely be more of these, so we will catch ya the next time around.

14" crappie - very sweet !!!

Heck if all the men can head out for opener on Mother's Day weekend we can desert them for the big fish on Father's Day weekend.

[glenn57]

lambjm, i didnt leave my wife at home, i took her fishing with me. your leaving them fend for themsevles while yous are having fun. think of all the dishes, the dirty laundry laying around and the way the house will look when you get home sunday nite. am i making any of you feel quilty yet?????? just kidding, again have a good time, im sure they will survive.

[Iambjm]

Nope, because with my husband that is the way the house looks before I leave.

[glenn57]

that be a good one lambjm, does he leave his garage like hat to??

[Iambjm]

When we lived in Ramsey I never saw the garage floor for 20 years. Now I have dominion over the garage and have been working on getting it organized and efficient. When we moved up here I had a 30x32 built and it better stay clean or someone I know will be swimming with the fishes!

[glenn57]

does he read the fm forums? you said you lived in ramsey at one time, i currently work in ramsey right off alpine drive and hwy 10 at the union hall. theres a golf course just to the east.

I'm sure I'm not the only who who'll be catching fish! Don't you want to see everyone's fish pics?

[Lisa Almquist]

I like your reply about Father's Day Barb! I think our partners will be just fine without us for a couple days,right? Isn't it supposed to make the heart grow fonder?
