Is this 1993 again? The rain just keeps coming!!!!

Man have we been getting rain and storms. We had another high wind and rain storm late this afternoon (maybe a small tornado) I had 3.5 inches of rain in the gauge by the end of the day.

Planned on trying to get some gills and yellow bass tomorrow but it is supposed to get back up in the 90's and remain there the rest of the week. Will have to go eaatrly and quit early.

Walleyes have been on fire this spring, primarily Silver Lake in Dickinson County, Little Spirit, and Round Lake in Minnesota. We tried Storm Lake about 10 days ago caught 3 but it hasn't been like last year.

I have added some stuff to the Ranger 619, finally bowing to age. I put some Ezee Steps on the trailer so I don't have to crawl over the Terrova get in and out on the ramp. I put a Drotto Automatic Boat Latch, I just drive the boat on the trailer up to this unit and it grabs the bow eye and Dianne just drives out. I then hook the strap up for trailering, I probably wouldn't have to but I do. Next I put a BowMount Lift on the Terrova, google it and take a look, $350.00 instead of $2500.00 for an Ulterra.  Last but not least, now that we can't trailer with the plug in the boat and it is a pain in the ass to crawl under the stern of the Ranger to put the plug in and take it out I put a FlowRite Remote Drain Plug in.

I see that next year to renew our Minnesota fishing license we are going to have to sign a document that we have read and understand all the stuff about invasive species. I don't know what the hell good they think that is going to do!! People can understand everything but if they don't abide by the rules it won't help and a few won't. The DNR in all states are doing this shit because of politics, it is too late, the invasive species are going to win. Mother Nature always wins!!!

I am outta here.
