Boundary waters

**FORBESAUTO** · 06-24-2017, 04:40 PM

On my way to Ely, Mn. to enter the Boundary Waters. I'm gonna miss the old Mercury, the only power I'll have is what ever this honky can push through a paddle. The fishing is unbelievable and makes all worth the effort though! Not to mention the peace and quite and lack of cell phone service!

Remember, bass and walleye are bait fish in lunge waters

Sounds like a great get away and no cell is a bonus. Take pictures sounds like an adventure and I would like to see some pictures. Rick

Nice. Sasquatch country also you know. Hieroglyphs on those rocks?

**FORBESAUTO** · 06-24-2017, 07:32 PM

Ha! You know you a little throwed off when ya gotta hang what little food you bring with ya from a tree so the critters won't take it from ya. God forbid if something happens to it you'd be in bind! What's worse you can't carry a gun with ya, because there is a spot where we momentarily cross into Canada. By the way we ain't supposed to fish on the Canadian shores, but y'all got the best action and you think I'm gonna pass on that! I don't think so!

**FORBESAUTO** · 06-24-2017, 07:34 PM

We passing by Fond Du Lac now as I speak, wish I had time to visit mother Mercury!

**FMP** · 06-24-2017, 08:18 PM

Ha, Canadian fish are smarter. Statistics show they stay in school longer.

**FORBESAUTO** · 06-24-2017, 10:22 PM

Yeah, I school em alright when I come through there with that Pop-R and spro crankbait!

**FMP** · 06-25-2017, 08:16 AM

When all else fails, try the original mepps spinner, trailer with twister optional

**FORBESAUTO** · 06-25-2017, 09:08 AM

Yeah I bring in a few, but so far I've found the education level of these fish hasn't been to the point where I have to

Many more trips of us coming up here that could change

So far between Pop -R, jerkbaits, and crankbaits we got em covered. But in case gets bad I have few spinners. The fishing has been unbelievable, they act like they ain't never seen a bait before, which half of em probably havnt. We not used to that from where I'm from, our fish can name every bait by name and knows more about tackle than most fisherman! I think sometimes they bite just because they feel sorry for us
