New boat on old stomping grounds
 

I'm back in Minnesota for the summer and the freshwater fishing has been good. I haven't landed any trophy fish but it's always fun going after them. For most of the summer, I've been fishing out of a whitewater boat and recently upgraded to a PA 14. Here are a few pics of Minnesota Lake fishing and a few different species around these parts.

Nice! That was quite an upgrade.

How is the 7 HDI
Over kill?
:cheers1:

I happened to notice that the Elite 5 HDI was just listed on West Marine's website, I think today.

Very nice boat btw and interesting to see fish from another area!

I see you caught some po mans lobster there. Northerns are fun fish to catch, and taste even better. Nice catch, miss Minnesoter, keep em tight.

nice report, fish, & pics....

i used to catch Northern pike growing up in TX in the 70's.
(although never seen them caught on Spinner baits - looks exciting.
i love catching Bass on Spinner baits.)

LJ & SD Bay have spoiled me over past 20 yrs, and i only fish saltwater now.
but Pike were probably my favorite freshwater fish to catch. easier to catch sizeable Pike, than sizeable LMB.

Congrats on the new ride:)

SWEET...! Only 9,999 more lakes to try. Go get them. oh yeah, don't forget the bug juice. Jim

Good stuff!

No I wouldn't call it over kill. Its a great screen size for down imaging and the graphics are good. From my experience and other peoples experiences with this unit, it seems to me like there are still a few bugs to work out.

I havent had any water temp readings since day one and my ducer is in the water. After many back and forth drives to cabellas, we determined I have a bad transducer.

Thanks for the.reply

Tight lines
:reel:

remember that day, both of us in X factors, paddling out to the hot YT bite and you saying "i love the paddle, i don't think id ever get a peddle kayak"... or something along those lines...?

i knew it was bullshit. :D

are those pike, muskie or pickerel? Looks like a lot of fun!

Yayaya..:D

I still have the whitewater yak to paddle and Huck waterfalls when I want:cheers1:

The PA takes fishing to a whole new level. Hands down.

Hey I'm coming down to the gulf next month to fish and work a little. Let's go after some sharks, reds, tarpon, kings!

I grew up in the land of 10k lakes, 15k swamps and 890 billion tons of mosquitoes.

What lake are you fishing? I must have logged 1000 hours on lake Minnetonka.
Lots of great memories.

Nice sized sunny, and those hammer handle norderns are good fun hey. Im from the WI and miss all the water...thanks for sharing.
