So quiet here...does that mean everyone's boats are winterized? 60's in store for next week. Plan on getting out. Anyone still pounding the water? Wondering if water temps will get back to a spot where it might activate the fish just enough. Thoughts?

That sounds like a ton of fun. I need to try that. Gimruis you are having an outstanding season...good for you. You’re catching for all the rest of us. Very mediocre for me.

Was up on the lacs this past Saturday and yes it was tougher than tough. Fall bite is just around the corner.

Have my eyes open plenty wide and place me firmly in the camp of I want both. I want technology to disrupt the need for this copper so we don’t need to make such a trade off. Restricting or the poor economics of its use ...or both can be catalysts for technological breakthroughs. The economic benefit to the region is boom then bust. These situations are well studied and understood. Unfortunately due to the poisonous nature of the mining, the only thing that will be long lasting is the impact on the ecosystem. Nothing was ever gained by accepting the status quo. I hope most will agree that we must expect more than “yep if you want all this technology then you have to accept all of the damaging things that come along with it” mentality.

Lol. Good point. Didn’t pay attention to the dates of the entries. Thought it was just started.

I find it strange that it took to page four to mention the Ned.

Yes this may be the case which allows them to lower the advertised price. However, pricing it that low is where they are using it as a promotional item to drive traffic. It’s their prerogative but many times it can backfire and create ill will with their core customer base. I’m not sure how mad people should get? Because if you got one you would be happy and not complain. If you were left out then you are upset. I guess I would rather them offer the deal so at least there’s a chance for me to get it at a basement price. Idk. I have found my experience with cabelas has dropped significantly making me want to spend my time and money elsewhere. And maybe thats the bottom line...if you don’t like what they are doing or how you are treated seek out others who do treat you the way you want to be treated.

Wonder if this is in store only or online as well?

Placing this in the rt thread. Beautiful night last night on the water in the west metro. Females are off the spawn. Caught 12 all together so not a bad night. Landed 2 at 18 inches 1 a 17 inches. 9 more smaller than that. Green pumpkin Ned rig and dark colored senko. They were at the weed line or near clumps of weeds.

Standing ovation on that reply. What a thorough, well thought out response...thank you for sharing your experience and what works for you. I learned quite a bit. Great post.

I’m with shimmy. Over 7 lbs here in MN and you just started bass fishin. Maybe you tell US some of your recommendations. ?

Agreed...with all the application specific rod talk, we forget that many of us grew up fishing an ugly stick and did just fine. I say get some rods, perfect your craft, enjoy landing fish.

The Columbia PFG shirts are cheaper on Amazon, with more selection, and free shipping.

You will also see by the DNR lake survey that there is not an over abundance of large fish. My first hand experience fishing this lake a number of times a few years ago confirms it. i have caught fish greater than 18 inches there but very few and afar between. So many lakes other lakes to choose from.
