FB aka Facebook is a social networking site. It is much different then myspace and lets you reconnect with old friends, new friends and family. It lets you control who you allow access to whoever you choose.

It actually is quite fun.

We went to the lake yesterday for a bit, caught up with bangflop, his sister & their friends.

Fishing northerns with tip ups, it was pretty slow but the kids did get a nice one while we were there.

40 incher



we also met up with rooster & his wife special K, we went out for dinner after fishing & shared a couple of pitchers of beer, it was a good time.

today we decided to go to the cabin and haul some more firewood from some near by logging operations.

We just did one load.





back at the cabin we unloaded the logs & lit a bonfire. We sat around the fire on what turned out to be a beautiful day. We cooked our lunch over the fire.



then we took a walk back into the woods to set up the trail cam again.

I see "preacher" is going armed.What a bodyguard!

Stan

oh you know it! He's the great protector.

That pic of you and Preacher walking down the trail deserves to be on the cabin wall. That is a great pic. No poses, no goofing off, just a Dad and his buddy walkin'. That is a classic in the best sense of the word.

Looks like you guys had a full weekend. And fun. Congrats to CBF on the 40"er.

It was a beautiful weekend here. 40's and mid 50's on Sunday. Worked on the basement, went for a run, even pulled the boat home yesterday.Even heard rumors of a 14# walleye caught on Saturday, near the mill.

Great pictures Dave. Thanks for sharing. Darn nice Northern that bang flop had.

Is Northrn and Walleye season open year round on LOW? Here in Wisconsin the Northern/Walleye season closes at the end of Feb and reopens the first Saturday in May on lakes. Season is open year round on most rivers.

lake of the woods is a border waters, northerns stays open on the lake year round, walleyes close though... not quite yet though. Still open, I have a hankering to leave work early to go get my fish house off the lake & try some evening walleye fishing in the shallows....

Dave when is the removal for ice houses up there?

I know the CO's have been busy tagging and towing houses off around here.

we're good till the end of the month for sure, and I think that's about it. But i want to get mine off today, the landings are going to start to go to hell really fast in this weather.

It's not my intention to turn this thread into a "for sale" section but I am about to list three firearms for sale and would rather give my friends here first shot at a reduced price.
Email me for details if interested.

I hope this post is not out of line.

Stan

Not out of line, at least not to me. Hell, list 'em.

Hard to beat a meal of fresh Walleyes. Good luck.

thanks bill, stan i sent you an e-mail.

Hey fellas!
We had a great weekend of fishing up on LOW. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the pike fishing was pretty decent. Between me and the wife we caught a 28 ��, 29 ��, 37�, 39 1/2�, 40� and last but not least Karen�s 41� 20 pounder that is going to the taxidermist. The others went back in the lake except the ones under 30�. Their going in our sewer...........eventually!

As Dave mentioned, we met up with him and Pam and the kids out there on the ice and had a very good time! Maybe Dave would be kind enough to post Special K's big un for you guys to check out. She was pretty excited! Almost as excited as me. I'm very proud of her!

Rooster, congrats to Karen thats a great pike. Hope we see some pics.

I believe this is the right picture?

Very nice fish!



We did ok last night too, got the fish house off the lake & scored a decent evening run of walleye & kept a northern too.

We added to this pile after I took this picture.

Nice pile Dave! Is the limit 5 eyes per?

Those northern pics make me want to find potatoes, butter, and onions.


Special K- NICE FISH! that is a heck of a nice northern. Congrats.

Limit is 4 on the walleyes, slot fish (throw backs) are from 19.5" to 28", we had one of those yesterday as well.

We have slots here on the WI river system too.

15" to under 20" we can keep. 20"-28" throw back, you can keep 1 over 28". Every year we catch tons of 14.5" walleys. I don't know where the hell they go the next year, it seems they get replaced with more 14.5" walleyes.

In the spring we'll get a lot in the 21-24" which are fun, but need to go back. I don't keep many fish out of the WI River anyway.
