bye ice, hello tube! fishin pics and report for Minnesota

[MT_Pilgrim]

Me and Casey got out for some float tube action, and the panfish came to play! they were hungry, even hitting our floats! I got my fish on Maki Stoni and Dragnmag plastics. we caught and released at least 50 in 2 hours, with a couple of bonus largemouth bass too. Casey lost a big fish. a good way to start the season!

In case you were wondering what the rope was for, I forgot to bring my fins,[] so casey got to pull me around last nite [cool]haha

Wow. Those were some nice fish and nice videos. I like the rope idea. That is so clever. I wished that I would have thought about the rope trick when my Dad started teaching me to Tube.[cool]

[cool][#0000ff]I was hoping that rope wasn't something kinky. We don't allow that on this board.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Then again, I guess it coulda been for water skiing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Suggestion: Make a check list...especially for your first trip of the year when you haven't been going regularly. That's gotta be embarrassin'. Lucky you have an understanding fishing buddy. I'm afraid I couldn't pull you around too well while I was laughing.[/#0000ff]

Haha good idea! good thing the fish were biting he didn't have to much time to laugh at me! he has his moments too, but if we put our heads together, we can come up with at least a half a brain!![blush]
