    Who is in favor of slot limits

    As the water dries up the fishing will get worse. FYI

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    In our home area we could drive around and see 100-300 deer a night back in the boom years. We shot a bundle every year, but it never put a dent in them. When the blizzards and ice storms came, they disappeared faster than a guy could imagine. When spring came I spoke to many a farmer that...

    There have been lakes in ND the G&F quit stocking because the larger walleye just gobble up the fingerlings. Which meant the population was at or above it's carrying capacity. I then showed up and reduced the population below carrying capacity. :;: …well mostly;)

    Mercury 150 4 stroke and cold water

    Just let the motor warm up for a reasonable amount of time before you hammer it down. Let the thermostat do its work.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    If slots were proven to keep over-limit 'sconnies in 'sconnieland, you may be able to convert me to the dark side. Ha ha

    Tannerite

    I'm surprised I can still buy the stuff. I have contemplated a tannerite hoard a few times. I would love to do a big beaver dam with about 20 pounds someday.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    More and more people practice a personal "slot" in their boat every year it seems. Some days I keep bigger fish, most days I don't. I don't knife many over 23" I can tell you that. If we reversed time about 30+ plus years you would have seen a lot more bigger fish knifed because a personal...

    You are one man. You will not have an impact unless you gain Hitler like support to rid the world of walleye.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    BTW, these low water levels concern me far more than somebody going out and keeping their 5 walleyes in a day. No matter the size. - - - Updated - - - Where's the math on that? Just curious.

    Who is in favor of slot limits

    I remember the same argument every spring for as long as I can remember. The fishing is still good every year the when conditions allow opportunity. If a slot can be proven with concrete evidence to improve things significantly, I'm all for it. If we are adding a slot just to keep people from...

    Baitcaster guru's

    I have some Shimano Calcuttas that have worked great for me on my river dead sticks and trolling/bottom bouncing. I have not tried to be a hero and cast an 1/8 oz jig, though. I only remember having to fix about 3 backlashes in the last 5 years and they were preventable if I would have...

    What have you changed Lake Winnipeg

    I will go again, but catching 8-12 pound trophies isn't as fun as it used to be. I am setting my sights on a mid to upper teens. I will need some planning and luck.

    Stock market

    Markets are a lot like fishing. Patience and experience pay large dividends. Acting objectively instead of emotionally is key.

    You just CAN'T make this stuff up.............

    If you snapped your pole, it would be hard to real them in and post them on fagbook. But yes, patience. Most spring spots are no secret anymore and you deal with a lot of Backwoods Bobs that maybe fish a couple times a year that are gung ho to catch "hogs".

    You just CAN'T make this stuff up.............

    Spring fishing takes lots of patience. Everybody is trying nab their trophy. You have time on your side. Show up early tomorrow and nab a bigger one.
