Zebra Mussels in Boji Land

The DNR reported today that zebra mussels have been found in Upper Gar Lake, this invasive species plus the two species of bighead and silver carp found before, does not bode well for the Iowa Great Lakes.

This and ThaT

Well, Labor Day has come and gone and thus so has summer in Boji Land. It is still unseasonably hot. Right now the Clay County Fair is in full swing and this weekend the Upper Great Plains Chapter of Muskies Inc, annual fall tournament will be held on the Iowa Great Lakes Chain of Lakes. Good luck to all who are participating. The tourists are pretty much gone, so we can now fish past 10 AM without getting buzzed by jet skis, water skiers etc. We had a pretty tragic summer with 4 drownings all but one alcohol related. Very sad.
We will be hitting the water this week or next in search of fall walleyes and perch. We had a pretty good bluegill and yellow bass bite a couple of weeks ago but it slowed down for us. We took brother-in-law Gary out when he was here for a day and blanked, couldn't find anything but little gills. I am losing my touch.
Already looking forward to our annual trip north with the Dicus's. Rick found a private cabin on Mille Lacs so we booked it last week:

June seems a long way off but it will be upon us before we know it.
I am curious about this winter's ice fishing, after our warm winter last year.

More to Come
