    What I hate most about shore fishing is......

    Did you forget how and where I like to fish???? Seems to me you need to come along with me on a good ole fashioned MUDDIN' Trip!!!! And knee deep mud is not a bad thing.

    Power Pro, Fire Line or ???

    Modified clinch for everything fresh water. Salt water gets a bit more interesting.

    Power Pro, Fire Line or ???

    I don't either, so that's why I stop reeling before it gets there. (Grin) I started to use the albright knot as well, but I found that retieing to a swivel is much faster than tying an albright, especially in the dark. Also, the floro separated from the pp much more often than separating at...

    Power Pro, Fire Line or ???

    Yep!! I use the smallest BLACK barrel swivel I can find and attach a 3 ft section of 10 lb vanish floro. The floro busts before the PP so I only lose at most a 3 ft piece of line instead of the MILES AND MILES AND MILES of mono that seem to clog up the fishing spots where guys break off 30...

    Power Pro, Fire Line or ???

    This is me as well. 10/2 with a floro leader is how I roll on a normal outing.

    Who's pumped for Minnesota walleye opener?

    I remember many a opener standing on shore, rod in hand, doing the countdown to midnight, and the first cast of the year at 12.00.01. Have fun boys!!!!

    Night Fishing

    I did lots of night fishing in MN lakes when I lived in Fargo and here is what I learned. Sand flats with sparse cattails was the winning bottom type most of the time. I wade fished or fished from shore. Boats seemed to turn off the bite as every time a boat would go by, my catch rate would...

    What I love most about shore fishing is......?

    Depending on the situation, shore fishing can oftentimes outfish the floating angler. There have been many times in the chutes of Garrison Tailrace where the shore fishermen are catching significantly more fish than the boaters. I like to shore fish because it's much less equipment intensive...

    Lake or river as there are very distinct differences that can drastically effect night fishing?

    I'm so pissed of right now I don't even like myself................

    Thanks guys. Just going to change focus and press. Time spent being angry goes from theraputic to useless very quick. Being angry with the weather would do me about as much good as being angry about this.

    I'm so pissed of right now I don't even like myself................

    Involving the non-voluntary use of a Prius might actually put me on a suicide watch!!!! Into every life a little rain must fall I guess. It's just not an enjoyable experience to watch 5 years of effort go down the drain. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm so pissed of right now I don't even like myself................

    Total change in what was promised to what is being implemented. Let's say you took a job and were promised X would happen and then after 5 years policy changes that would make X not possible and you have 2 choices. Either sit and suck on it or shitcan the 5 years and find other options...

    I'm so pissed of right now I don't even like myself................

    Life rocked my world with a wicked curve ball today that sent me into a level of pissed off Mr. Webster hasn't been able to define yet. I'd normally go fishing right now, but that is not an option. Other than MASSIVE adult beverage consumption, what do you guys do to maintain sanity in an...

    Who Drinks Alcohol While Fishing?

    Almost never. However, if I take someone else muddin' and show them a spot, it's usually only big enough for one guy. Then I might sit back with a cold one and watch the show. It's really cool to see even a grown mans face light up when they set the hook on a nice walleye they didn't expect...

    Live Bait vs Fake Bait

    On the sheyenne river, I rarely use live bait. I have found I don't need to very often. If I do use live bait, it's a half a crawler on a 1/16th oz jig under a bobber, aka bobber rig. Most of the time the walleyes don't have very much time to look a bait over in the current so they hit...

    Come On Trappers.....I know you're out there!!!!!!!

    Difficult problem for sure Musky. Whatever you decide, I would probably not advertise it on here. Within city limits, things get fairly wonky and common sense may not apply. Good Luck!! I hope you find a resolution.

    NDA Jedi Bullhead Master

    We can have one of the rules meetings at Fort KDM if you guys want to. The deck isn't as "Romantic" as a noisy bar, but the grill works and the critters won't mind too much if we sit out there and have a few blue num nums. If that is what folks want to do, just let me know and I'll kick out a...

    Come On Trappers.....I know you're out there!!!!!!!

    Lots of Fidos and Fiffies running around in an urban environment. Nothing but trouble there. I wouldn't risk it. I'd let the state trapper deal with the beavers and muskrats if they become a problem. The GIANT poo poo storm that would result from whacking the neighbors pet would be...

    Didn't take too long for that post to show up. LOL!!! I was wondering how long it would be before something like this popped up.

    Come On Trappers.....I know you're out there!!!!!!!

    PM me with your number. Maybe you'd like to come on down to the Fort, share some beers, and I'll show you what little I know as well as put you in contact with some other more experienced snaremen. It's much easier to hand you a snare, explain it, and tell you how to use it than it is to try...
