Annandale-Buffalo-Big Lake

Took the kids out to the dock on the river behind my house yesterday thinking the influx of warm water from all the rain (rose at least a foot over the weekend) would bring the sunfish in finally. To no surprise it did, but MUCH to my surprise if we went close to the bottom instead of near the surf

Crane Lake-Kabetogama-Namakan Fishing Reports

Fished the 1st and 2nd, did pretty well jigging minnows, either rainbows or shiners and even fatheads, in about 30-35 feet of water. Fish bit better during mid morning through mid day than they did around sunset. We tried to stay as verticle as possible, that helped.

Minnesota River Fishing Reports

[quote=DTro]I think you could go round and round with that one Gordie, but if you release the fish, then I see it as no longer in your possession and as long as you stay at least one fish under the bag limit you can cull as many fish as you want. That is what most contest in MN do. [/quote]

Upper Red Lake Fishing Reports

You can go a long ways this year. Something I have also noticed is the lack of major sandbars this year. Last year's high water and winds leveled the lake pretty flat and it is going to take some wave action to get things back to the norm.

Lake Vermilion Fishing Reports

Mike, considering the reports we've been getting on ice thickness, I think it's a good bet. No snow in the forecast for several days, either, and temps are going to be dropping a bit for that time, so we'll be making more ice yet before Jan. 1. If
