Ok time to start some yapping guys. Welcome back and good luck, Especially you coolcasters in beating the CHAMP.

fishballer06 · May 19, 2020, 10:21:57 PM

Do you guys smell that?
*sniff* *sniff*

Smells like an upset

Steve81 · May 20, 2020, 07:47:42 PM

I'm just excited to have some sort of fishing competition. Before the outbreak, I had planned to have 5-6 tournaments in at this point. I'm at a whopping ZERO right now with none in the foreseeable future.

However, I am going to do a little one on one tournament against another person with a YouTube channel to get some content for the both of us. We are doing that on Memorial Day so I will get a little bit of a warm up before battling you guys.

I bought the Stratos to fish more tourneys this year and have a big zero in so far also.
Steve it looks like it may be between you and Craig in June. All my fish have disappeared.

Good luck this month everyone!

I haven't been out yet in June so far but I did end May with my first tournament win in 14 years! Let's hope some of that mojo carries over. I'm trying to go fishing in the morning but I am working tonight. I think that as long as I can convince myself to get out of bed, I'll at least get on the board tomorrow.

Congrats on the win and hope to see some fish from you soon.

I might be tapped out for the month. Good luck to the other cool casters. FYI I've been writing small recaps of each outing in the "Minnesota Fishing Reports" section. Probably wont get out for the next 2 weeks.

92 inches is going to be tough to beat, but you can bet I'll give em hell.

Steve81 · June 06, 2020, 08:50:58 PM

I'm hoping I can upgrade from my 75-ish inches. June is always tough around here and I'm limited to staying within 75 miles. That means I can't go to the lakes I really like.

The good news is that I just ordered an ultrex and it should be here Wednesday. Just the simple fact that I'm going to want to go play with that new toy will be enough to get me out fishing more often!

You are going to be very happy with your new toy. It will make a huge difference to your fishing.

CraigP83 · June 06, 2020, 08:56:36 PM

Yup. I credit most of my fish today to my ultrex. So nice to find rocks, spot lock and just cast over and over. Wish I had the 360 imaging though

I caught several bass by doing exactly this offshore yesterday. Nothing big, but fun. Spot lock and casting to 'rock' waypoint on my HDS

Steve81 · June 06, 2020, 09:10:07 PM

The offshore aspect is 100% of the reason I wanted this kind of trolling motor. Honestly, I wanted the motorguide but nobody has got them in stock yet.

Steve what kind of lakes do you fish in NE? Is it a lot of deep lakes, bank beating or a bit of everything?

Both but I wouldn't say the lakes here are particularly deep. I mean the offshore season would have you fishing in 10-20 feet of water. So definitely too deep to use my power poles.
