Greetings Everyone,
I'm originally from Southern MN but have been here in Minot for 4 years now. I've gotten a lot of information from this site so I figured I should return the favor. I'm pretty active year round and prefer fishing/ice fishing, but hunt waterfowl pretty hard as well. Not so huge into the big game stuff. If you see a white F-250 pulling a sparkly silver Lund 189 Tyee GL , that's me (not sure if i'll get crap for this one?). To start off on the right foot I'll throw out a report from yesterday.
Went out of the cabin site on Audubon around 6pm with the wife and mother-in-law chasing bass. Wasn't able to find anything throwing topwaters and hitting deeper weedlines so we tried switching gears for walleye. Was able to get a few small ones ripping jigging raps but nothing crazy. However, in about 25 feet of water I hooked into something BIG. I honestly thought for a brief moment I had the 30+ inch walleye i'm looking for until it made one run. Turned out to be a 10ish lb carp that actually bit the jigging rap, which was the last thing I expected. I initially thought it was snagged but the hook was actually in its mouth, has anyone seen that before?
