The origins of Oktoberfest Oktoberfest is a celebration that transcends geographical boundaries. Much like people in various pockets of the globe celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo even if they have little or no connection to Ireland or Mexico, respectively, Bavarian heritage is not a prerequisite for participation in Oktoberfest revelry. According to Oktoberfest.de, each year millions of people are attracted to the festival of Oktoberfest. It’s not hard to see why so many people attend Oktoberfest, which is synonymous with fun, food, music, and, of course, beer. But the chance to engage in what might be best characterized as living history undoubtedly is part of the appeal of Oktoberfest as well. Oktoberfest is indeed steeped in tradition, and understanding the history of the beloved festival can make the
celebration even more enjoyable. The first Oktoberfest occurred as part of a wedding. Kronprinz Ludwig of Bavaria, who later became King Ludwig I, was set to marry Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810. The couple’s nuptials were deemed a cause for great celebration, and a horse race was held in their honor on October 17. The inspiration for the races and the subsequent celebration of Oktoberfest remains a topic of debate. But there’s no debating that Ludwig’s decision to invite the people of Munich to join in the festivities had a lasting effect, inspiring many of the city’s wealthiest residents to decorate the city. But even the less well-todo joined in the celebrations. In fact, according to Oktoberfest-guide.com, 32,065 buns; 3,922 pounds of swiss cheese; 400 kilos
of mutton; 8,120 cervelat sausages; and 13,300 pairs of smoked sausage were distributed for free. Alcohol and music also featured prominently during the inaugural Oktoberfest, as 232 hectoliters of beer and four hectoliters of Austrian white wine were served during a celebration that also featured 150 musicians. Though the festive atmosphere of Oktoberfest is known across the globe, the celebration has not been without its tragic moments. For example, Oktoberfest 1980 was shaken by a bomb that exploded at the festival entrance on September 25. Thirteen people were killed and more than 200 were injured, and the bombing remains under investigation more than 40 years later. World wars also affected the beloved festival, which was suspended between 1914 to 1918 due to World War I and then again from 1939

People who can’t make it to Germany can likely find some Oktoberfest festivities close to home. to 1945 due to World War II. The years immediately following both wars also featured toned down events that were not characterized as Oktoberfest but rather autumn celebrations. Celebrations in
2020 and 2021 were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oktoberfest remains a popular celebration more than 200 years after the inaugural event. Though devotees insist nothing
can match the annual celebration in Munich, those who can’t make it to Germany can likely find some Oktoberfest festivities close to home, wherever that home happens to be.

Fishing appears to be on borrowed time these days I t’s been a while since the Hippie Chick and I had a chance to fish with our daughter Joelle, and her fiancé Patrick. But finally saw the chance to steal a couple of hours for a quick evening trip, and we took it. The lake Susan and I usually visit once each season is a small, a little over 500 acres, multi-species lake. We ordinarily fish together there on the Labor Day weekend when all the fish are still on the weedline, but have missed going there for a couple of years. Usually, we fish using wiggle worms, and catch some bass, sunfish, and pike early in the day. Then we catch walleyes as the sun goes down; sometimes we do well, other times we just get a few. For today, I would have been happy to find crappies instead, but had no idea where they’d be, so we arrived an hour earlier than the kids, and used the time to search for fish, beforehand. At the ramp, the surface water temperature was 53 degrees, and that didn’t change much anyplace on the lake. The skies were mixed, clouds, sunshine, sprinkles, and the breezes were stiff, from the northwest at 15 to 20 mph. If there was time, I hoped to have found fish along the shoreline breaks, but we were able to troll around about 2/3 of the perimeter without spotting anything there. As I moved deeper, I spotted the first school of fish at about 41 feet deep, then another one at 45 feet and eventually, another school, suspended over 70 feet. All those fish were too deep, so we never dropped a line in the water.
We looked at one last spot, a small depression in one of the weedy bays. The water depth was 16 feet, and the side imaging showed a couple of schools of what I believed might be sunfish. We didn’t have time to fish for them, but I would have been happy to have them as a backup plan, and made note of the spot and headed for the dock. Because I hadn’t really developed a game plan, the first thing we did after picking the kids up at the dock, was to go back to the basics and slow troll along the weed edges. As I headed toward one of our favorite spots, I spotted some more fish in deep water, this time they looked more like walleyes, but they were still too deep to fish, so we passed them by. I made note of them though, because I thought they might move shallower as the sun set later. I offered everyone the choice between 2 presentations, wiggle worming or jig and minnows. I and the girls chose night crawlers, Patrick chose minnows. At our preferred point, Pat caught a decent size northern pike, other than that, not much happened. So, we moved over to another, larger point located adjacent to a weedy flat. Here, it appeared that wiggle worming was going to emerge as the preferred pattern. Both Susan and I had been feeding lines to fish, but neither of those fish got hooked. Then I

too that where they fished, the crowds got a little intense. I think that with the passing of the MEA weekend, they’ll be more manageable from here on out. I’m fishing on borrowed time right now. I still have a couple of fishing days scheduled, but soon, the rest of my life will begin taking over. Honey dos, repairs, and maintenance, and hopefully, hunting with my dog will soon reach the top of my list. I’ll be providing updates as they become available, so don’t give up on me yet.

adjacent deeper holes. For me, there’s little temptation to fish for the deep fish, because they don’t become active until they move up onto the structures. No Jeff, I’d rather just go out and try to catch some eaters, you’re thinking. Okay then, during the weekend, Winnie’s walleye bite continued to hang in there too. The robust MEA weekend crowds were still on the lake, but instead of floating on a flat calm surface, they were bouncing in the waves. As expected, the breezy weather encouraged walleyes to feed more heavily and some folks who’d been struggling last Friday, made up for lost time on Saturday and Sunday. The report I got from my customers, Tom and Brad, who I fished with last Friday, offered proof and was also typical of reports I’d received from others. “We fished the north shore yesterday, and then moved over to Third River. (We fished) off the point, circling the area in 8 to 10 feet of water and caught 15 plus walleyes in the 15-to17-inch size range. Brad caught a couple of walleyes over 18 inches yesterday too, the weather conditions were perfect for walleye fishing.” Tom wrote. Tom mentioned
numbers of fish every evening. Jig and minnow presentations will still work for catching numbers of fish, but there’s an opportunity to single out large fish by switching presentations. In the good old days, Bob Carlson, “Mr. C” and his son Mike used to love fishing with me during late fall. In fact, they were typically my last charter of each season and when we fished, catching big walleyes was always the goal. The big walleye pattern, fishing shoreline related points that lie adjacent to deep water, works best when you fish with large minnows. For me, a live bait rig using a 1/0 or 2/0 bait hook, tied on a 6-foot leader made of14 to 27-pound fluorocarbon works well. Large minnows, like redtails, creek chubs or supersized golden shiners all work. They need to be big, 6 to 8 inches long, and they need to be lively. We hook the minnows lightly to the upper lip, this allows them to draw water and allows them to stay lively for a long time. Key depths are usually 18 to 22 feet, but this varies with the structure that’s available in your lake. You can usually figure out which structures to focus on because you’ll see fish holding in the

caught a largemouth bass, and Parick caught the first nice walleye on a jig and minnow. The next few fish were small, but Pat was catching enough walleyes on minnows to induce the rest of us to switch baits. By now, it is getting dark, our time is limited, but I’m curious about those fish I saw earlier. What if they moved out of the deep hole, and up onto the point where we like to fish? We moved over there, set up shop in about 18 feet of water, and discovered that some of those fish had moved onto it. Patrick caught another “keeper” size walleye, and the rest of us each released a small one. By now, it’s dark and food has become the new priority; so, we headed home. For folks hoping to get some “hard core” fishing news from today’s report, let’s expand on this theme. From here on out, 2 or 3 hours on a lake will be all anybody really “needs” to fish. Sure, you can still fish all day long if you like, but the evening run that my family enjoyed will occur on almost every decent walleye lake in the region. I have friends that have been following this pattern for a couple of weeks already and for the most part, are catching good
