Anyone hear about what's happening on fremont? I just read about it on another site. Apparently due to low oxygen levels the dnr is opening it completely. Someone was down there with a bow and stuck about a THOUSAND carp and 17 pike he counted from the road 2-5lbs. I'll ask the gent that posted the pics on the other site and see if it's ok if i share his pics.

I heard a couple of weeks ago that the fish where conjurgating by the culvert on the north side. I thought they had put a airadertor in there a couple of years ago. There's nothing in there but carp and northerns any way.

Freemont has been open for liberalized fishing since 1-15 and goes until 2-15.

There are a tons of lakes open for liberalized fishing in Meeker County. Right now 26 lakes in MN are open for this type of "fishing".

I teach at Zimmerman High School and a few of the kids have been talking about going down their with their fishing bows and doing some archery fishing. It's a good time. One kid said he shot two massive carp with one shot.

I thought I heard they took the aireator out a few years ago. Was getting too expensive for the lake assoc. They did the same thing with limits a few years back, when I heard about the removal of the AIR...

They have never removed the aireator...the last time it froze out the aireator was vandalized and couldn't be repaired during the winter and this year it is cuz of the amount of early snow on top of low water levels causing the depleation of oxygen in the lake causing a partial die off!! I went down there yesterday and it is amazing the amount of carp on the ice and how far back along the channel they have cut and caught them!! Kinda disgusting to see....cant imagine the stench in the spring!!

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
