Brother looked it up online for the neighbor, so he ordered a gallon for us too. A bit spendy for a gallon but when he told how much he uses each application I did the #'s in my head quick & it was ~$2.50-$3.00 each time he sprayed. He uses something called Spreader Sticker that helps it bond to what he sprays too. Which my brother said is basically some kind of soap.

and here I thought the only spreader you guys had up there was a  spreader!!!

It looks like Amazon has it, JB. So does Ebay, Walmart, & your local farm supply store might even carry it too.

Is there a brand or name of it or just called sticker? I know farmers use it alot for spraying.

    Why don't you go play with an old stinky, slimy turtle?

The state bird has made their presence up here to yesterday.

Here too.  Even during the day they were bad and hungry.   Pretty much could not sit on the deck last night even with a smudge fire going.  I will be spraying something here shortly.

[glenn57]

  guess I'll find out in about 4 hours!

In deer river! yep skeeters are out in force.  Seen a dead bear in the ditch south of Emily. Don't see that often. Gas stations are crooks up here 3. 54.

It went down some in the last couple days.  It was 3.72 there a couple days ago.

[Gunner55]

  DR & Gr have been that for at least 2 weeks. I paid $3.39 in Squaw Lake this afternoon & that's pretty normal.

[fishwidow]

GR is almost always really high. I sometimes plan trips to Hibbing for normal restocking of supplies. Distance is slightly more, but gas prices are almost always way lower.

Yep skeeters have been ferocious the last couple weeks. As for the dead bear—I happened on one north of Moose Lake a few years ago. It was on the ditch with both paws and its head missing. I called the DNR. They told me that it’s not uncommon  to get reports like this. The paws snd head make for good taxidermy I guess.

[Gunner55]

Quite a few boats going both ways for a Monday IMO, & the pumps were busy at the Max Mini Store.

Having a little HH with the neighbor yday & he said he doesn't exactly follow the directions with the Spreader Sticker as he doesn't measure it, just pours a little in before he mixes everything the last time. He thinks he gets better results because he uses a little more than what they recommend too.

What a weird year, water Temps already to 70 degrees. Sure hope we don't get water Temps above 80

Yep. Really noticed that putting the dock in about 10 days ago. Got good and wet, but not at all chilled.

[Gunner55]

  Yeah, I'm surprised with how fast we've warmed up here too. Official ice-out was 5/7, so it hasn't even been 3 weeks, yet. I haven't been out much in the evenings, but the mid-morning & early afternoon surface temps that I've seen have been from 56-62 here.

[Kettle]

It worries me, it also makes fishing a little unpredictable. Going out with shiners, leeches and crawlers in the boat. Should get out 3-4 times over the next 3 days

[Gunner55]

Nothin but slot fish & little nords here.

[glenn57]

never fished for panfish, but the pike were crazy. thinking between the 3 different lakes i fished we caught 40 nords. and we didnt try all that hard. yesterday was all catch and release.

man were there rigs with boats at deer river cenex early this morning......went to Remer to put gas in. moving pretty slow but need to keep plugging away!!!

They fit right into that we could keep them slot!!

[glenn57]

havent seem ole Merc on for a while....hope they let him outta hayslips!!!!!!!!!! just wondering if he scoped out the Timberwolf yet????

hey Gunner.......how have the bugs been since you got back?????/

[fishwidow]

We did the Wolf a few weeks ago. The salad bar is the same.  Weren’t impressed with the regular menu, though. Some of the staff are now at Antler. It went through a down period for a few years, and we tried it again about a month ago. It was better than it had been in recent years. Just my opinion.
