That explains a lot of what I’ve been doing wrong with my fly rod. I’ve been catching pike and a muskie with my spinner rod, but the fly rod only caught the tiniest sunny.

The dickspoons are not a joke. I caught a tiger muskie with one. Edit: picture uploaded upside down, I’ll fix it with non-potato quality soon

Here it is, it bit me too as I took out the hook (grab pliers first kids!), so it has tasted human blood, but I am not a were-muskie. That I know of at least... Hopefully this one hasn't developed a taste for human, there are beaches on that lake.  Caught it casting from shore at a city lake in Minneapolis. It looks like the DNR puts about 200 fingerlings every other year so this one has been hanging out for a bit.

My line broke right next to shore, so someone walking by got to see me going in with a net that wouldn't fit the fish to wrestle it on shore to save my dickspoon.

If you drive by Garrison to your fishing spot, that walleye statue is a national treasure and belongs in this thread. Edit, because look at this thing: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/7821 And oh gosh does everyone like to complain about native treaty fishing rights.

Now can we guarantee that these dickspoons will catch muskies? No, but if you look at my posts in this here thread, there is a muskie munching on a dickspoon.

I need to get a reprint of my fishing license. I lost track of it when I took my fishing gear out of the car and now I can’t seem to find it. Thankfully it runs though February in my state so I should be able to use it a but during icefishing even if they charge for reprints.

I paid $5 and now my trout stamp and fishing license are the same document vs being separate pieces of paper. Would have been $2.50 if I didn’t want another crack at the trout. I also bought a busted ice auger in a Home Depot parking lot for $50 and fixed it with a $30 part, so I am now gas auger man.

King of Bees posted:Speaking of panfish, interest check on this tiny St Croix/Shimano travel combo. I got it in an estate sale with a ton of fly gear. I held onto it with the idea of bream or smallies but i just end up using a fly rod anyways. It's several years old but has never been used, literally still has the stickers on and is always stored in the case. Speaking of, Ill throw in this orvis case that fits everything nicely and fits under a car seat or in a pack. This arrived safely, thanks King of Bees!

Mukulu posted:Tip-ups. That's what that yellow thing is. It's a spool of line that's suspended underwater with live minnows. The spool is connected to a shaft and trap (trip?) bar that spins. You attach a flag with a spring (that orange thing in the bottom right) to the trap bar. When a fish takes the bait it starts to take line from the spool and when the spool starts to unravel it spins that trap bar which pops the flag up which alerts you. You then proceed to pull in line hand over hand. It's very, very fun. Nice! I saw ice tents up on Nokomis last weekend, but I need work to stop getting in the way of my fishing weekends.

HamAdams posted:Despite living minutes from one of the great lakes my entire life, I've never really put much effort into catching fish other than going out with a cooler of beers and spending an afternoon drowning worms. My wife recently made the fatal mistake of telling me she'd like me to fill our freezer with fish, so it looks like I'll be spending some time really learning how to fish. I don't really have any content to contribute yet, but I'm glad this thread exists because I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions as the weather gets nicer and I start actually putting together plans for some fishing trips. One of my coworkers will fill his freezer with panfish fillets during ice-fishing season, but a Great Lales charter will let you do it with lake trout and walleye.

KingKapalone posted:Anyone around Minneapolis have a good shore fishing spot? It will be catch and release so don't worry, they'll still be there. I also probably don't know what I'm doing to catch enough. Bass or pike I suppose unless there's a walleye shore spot somewhere. Check my posts and you’ll see my Nokomis muskie, the lobe west of the Cedar bridge is where I caught that. Edit: It has tasted blood and hit a dicklure, so don’t wade in nude.

Seconding this when it comes to trout. I had a blast with a guided wade down by Lanesboro, caught some brown trout and a brookie!
