Do Minnesotans hate the internet?

You guys are getting me going. Now I'm gonna have to get those DVD's out and watch them for the 100th time. Both movies were great and I would love to come up and visit that town. Is it anything like in the movie or did they prop all that stuff?

I too am from Indiana and visit Minneapolis often on business.  I will be bringing my ice gear less "shanty" and hope for decent weather to do some ice fishing.  I always hear and see the fishing around the area, usually stay in the Coon Rapids area. 

Where is this area you speak of, is it further north?  I'll have to check an atlas.  I'll be checking the ice shanty web site for posts as well. 

Have some other enthusiast that I work with that do a lot of fair weather fishing, not sure how much ice fishing they do, but sure would like to get some experience in MN doing the ice thing.

Ray,  I'm from Michigan and I spend 4 to 6 weeks a year fishing in northern Minnesota mostly in the BWCA.
I have been to Rainy lake a few times, if it's Walleyes you're after I have had my best luck at shorty's reef and nearby Erickson's reef they're in Voyageur National park, and they're both  just south of Harrison's Island. we used leeches and minnow's on a lindy rig

I'm from Mn.,Palisade to be exact & I'll spend close to 200 days a year in one of Aitkin co.368 lakes or 600 miles of rivers&streams.
I'm pegged as a crappie guy ,but i'll go after everything that's biting.
True fishing sleeper is what my pops calls me.
I tie my own jigs & pour my own plastics and never or almost never use meat to catch the thousands of fish I get each year.

I've read this whole thread and agree about touchy mod's deleting your posts & or just flat out banning you.
I've been banned from 2 forums due to politics.

I now have learned not to peddle my jigs and let the pics do the talking.
It does help to have several guys using them & making the posts,blowin the horn for me if you will.
I've made a few posts here & nobody seems to be around much.
It was explained to me many have left due to politics as well.
I'm new here & do not know the history ,but I'll say that I fish a lot & I'll never lie about what I'm doing or what lake it was on.
I believe in helping not hiding out.

So if anyone ever wants to go rip lips ,just give me a shout.

Politics and fishing mix as well as oil and water. Leave the agenda at the boat ramp and lets talk fishing. 

Some other sites have such volume of garbage posts that the mods just get sick of it! We have a pretty good bunch here and on Ice Shanty, but there is always a little drama.

Welcome to the site! I hope you stick around and share a bit with us! These boards stay pretty quiet, but we have to start somewhere.

I am an outdoorsman.I live for rearing & shooting.
I'll be posting my pics and video.
If there are any positve comments great.Let's talk,if there are slams I'll not respond plain & simple.
I do not have the time nor the energy to ward off attackers and the occasional jealous guy.
I do have the time to help teach my methods and share my lake knowledge
free of charge.
