There is good news today in Babbitt, Minnesota. Building has commenced on a new Zup's building to replace the one lost in a fire late last September of 2011. Reconstruction has continued in the meantime on a portion of the old building which was able to be saved. This is a big plus for the citizens of this area and things should be looking much different by the time spring rolls around.

Lets alwaysremind ourselves that we are a people of love. The Sacramentof Reconciliation (i.e. confession) is not meant to be a shameful or judgmental chastisement by thepriest but an experience of the love and mercy of Christ. Although itmay seem that sinful acts / behaviors are personal in nature and have no direct impact on anyone else, its important to recognize how seriously damaging these can be in our community.
Still having nightmares that hell is a rotating karaoke contest; the playlist consists of bad hair band music and hiphop sung by out of tune drunks. The host is a Great Pyrenee named Francis who channels an air headed blonde I went to college with. Holding eyes open with toothpicks<...
I went up to this fickle lake to try and catch a few crappies but nary a one. I did catch these two nice fish though on one of my all-time favorite baits, a Northland Tackle "Forage Minnow Spoon."
Blake and I made a day-trip to Rainy Lake yesterday, doing a complete about face and traveling north 100+ miles after going 100+ miles to the south (Mille Lacs) on the day before. I always say it's better to do a little traveling to the good bites than to stick around home and bang your head against the wall, trying to catch a few good ones. We teamed up with Jeremy Taschuk, pictured with a nice 28"er that was caught on a Northland Tackle Live Forage "Rippin Shad", Mindy Taschuk, their son "Bren", Tim Snider, and Tom Batiuk.
Back she goes. Go back to grow up to 30" or more!
Tom Batiuk with a "throwback". Nice looking fish!
Jer' with a dinker. He did well by using Northland Tackle's new Live Forage "Rippin Shad". These baits will be going to Lake Winnipeg with us.
Tim Snider with one of several small fish that were caught. Forty feet was the magic depth.
Tom with a little one. You never know if it's going to be a 12" walleye or a 30"er. Tom, who does a lot of bass fishing on Rainy Lake said he caught 27 walleyes that were 10 pounds or better, last summer while bass fishing. Wow! Count me in!
Mindy Taschuk with yet another walleye. She had the hot hand and caught quite a few fish but couldn't beat her husband's 28"er. Her hot bait was a glow "segmented" body Genz Bug tipped with a whole minnow.
Blake chipped in with a few nice ones.
A beautifully colored pressure ridge. There were plenty of them.
Pressure ridges sort of had us "hemmed in" and kept us from doing any exploring but it doesn't look like we needed to.
Jeremy and Mindy Taschuk display a couple small ones. I like "that look" Mindy has. Funny.
A few of the "eaters" that were kept. All fish appear to be real healthy and not lacking for food.
Tim caught and released this nice northern pike, which really put up a good battle on light tackle in 40' of water. I'll tell you, that Rainy Lake is one heck of a fishery and I'll soon be back!
