The boat is out of storage and at home.
 Got the battery charger on.  Going to put the gear in today.  Then I will wait a week before I get to go fishing.  Thats OK we never go out on the opener. 

The weather looks great for those of you who are going this weekend.

I just want to say GOOD LUCK and have FUN...

Time to go hammer the sand carp this weekend. Can't wait! Weather is going to be great. Sounds like were gonna have a nice drift wind. Just give me my rod, and some shinner minnows and a couple of cold Old Miluakees , its gonna be a great weekend.

I will be dropping a line in Elbow lake this weekend.

It was a great weekend out on the water. Caught plenty of fish and had a good time.

I caught more ticks than fish...

Good grief, Niemz, where are you fishing?   

I didn't get out for opener, but did have fun with one of my buddies that did.  He and a couple other friends went up to Mill lacs and caught some nice walleys.  My friend Mike texts a coupld of pics to me of his proud catch.  So I had my wife take a pic of me with my little 26 incher (mounted) that I caught several years ago.  I told Mike that I caught it right at mid-night and rushed it to the taxidermist, and had just gotten it back.  Keep in mind that these text messages are taking place around 11:00 am Saturday morning.  He couldn't believe I got my fish back so quickly, as usually it is months before you get them back from the taxidermist.  My response, which apparently Mike bought, was that this is a slow time of year for taxidermy, so they are able to get them done right away.  I gave him a good ribbing about that Sunday morning in church. 

Hopefully I will wet a line this week.

We were up at the hunting shack near Cook. Usually fish on Elbow Lake, even though we're next to Vermillion.

I will be heading up to Kabetogama Sunday or Monday. Have not fished it much and not at all on the west end where we will be staying. It will be a great week and a fish fry if the fish gods smile on us.

niemz, I have driven by Elbow Lake a bunch but never fished there. There are so many lakes and so little time.

There is a half dozen lakes within 5 miles of my shack. Wish I had more time!

Niemz, I don't fish much, but I have always loved Vermillion for it's beauty. Did you know that because of all it's islands and bays that Vermillion has more shoreline than Lake Superior?

I finally got some line wet over the holiday weekend, inspite of the cold, rainy weather in Duluth.  Had a fun time catching crappies & sunnies on the fly rod. 





Caught 3 of those crappies Monday before heading home, and quite a few sunnies all three days.  It was good to get away and do nothing (other than fish and get to 1 grad party) all weekend.

maybe the pic will work this way.

This is just a test.

I am not sure what I did but this is the first picture I have been able to get posted in a long time.

Ya did every thing right, the fish,the picture, real nice.

I don't know what I did wrong, but you can copy & paste my links to your browser and see the pics that way.

I hope it is ok I posted them.

I played around and got it to work but not sure how I did it.
