It has been a little too long since I posted anything so I need to get my loyal readers caught up. I will get back to the bait study guys I promise.
I have been busy working with a few new sponsors over the past couple weeks. I am very happy to have teamed with these companies so check out the links to the left and feel free to let me know if you are interested in any of the products they offer. I can help answer any questions you may have about them as well as get them ordered for you at competitive pricing.

Mothers day is right around the corner and Minnesota has announced that mothers fish free this weekend. If you are going out for the Walleye/Northern Pike opener this weekend, think about taking mom along. Better yet if you weren't going to be able to get out because you had too many things to do around the house, maybe this is the perfect way to get out of the honey do's and into your honey hole. (you can use that one if you like it)

I have been out pre fishing for the first tournament of the year. Pool 2 of the Mississippi has pretty much had my number. I have only managed one small keeper and a few white bass. I have figured out where I can safely run the boat though after a few hours of dragging bottom with my hull. I will have to get out one more time and find some fish before the tournament. The fish haven't spawned yet so in two weeks they could be on the move.

I was out at Weaver lake park this evening and noticed the DNR has begun it's annual battle with aquatic vegetation. They sprayed Aquathol last week and have the orange "Do not drink the water" signs up around the beach. I thought it was amazing that as I finished reading the long list of things you shouldn't do with the water, I looked up to see a guy water skiing. I think I would just wait the two or three weeks before enjoying a long dip in the lake but to each their own. When I came home and did a little research on Aquathol I was surprised to find articles stating Aquathol was toxic to fish. It was also stated that it shouldn't be used in waters with food fish. I guess I wont be eating fish out of Weaver any more. It also kills coontail which is sad for us bass guys since coontail almost always holds bass. Here is one of the links I looked at. Keep an eye out for the orange signs on your favorite lake.

Get out there and don't catch 'em all.
