Anyone know of a possible access point on Upper Cullen?

Upper Cullen Resort has blocked their access off. The only other thing i can see to get on is the channel or culvert near the public access of middle. kindof flerting with disaster for driving the trucks out.

any info would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know you that is the only access to upper cullen. So you are limited to a wheeler, snowmobile or hoofin it.

sylvan is a great lake ! but it does have a small limit as well . 5 fish per person , the best bite is just ast sun set and an hour or so after . this might help you ? djwood

I find it funny that people see small limits as a negative. I would think that everyone would be be in favor of improving a lake instead of encouraging it's demise.

Just wait until they close crappies and sun fish during their spawn season, Its bound to happen, AND I will be ok with that.

I think they should lower crappies and sun fish to 5 each and walleys to 3 each.

? hummmmmm ? is 5 being negative? more like being realistic! when you pay 310 a gal. for gas and drive 60 miles round trip for 5 fish and 1 fisherman ! now this is reality of common sense. djwood

Well when the richy richies build their big cabin homes, on the lakes and have there lawn as green as their money. All that fertilizer runs in the lakes, and they get by with cutting up all the trees along the shore because what’s a little slap on the wrist from the dnr. Then they drive around with their but boats cutting weeds and digging up channels.

That is more realistic. If you kill the lakes fish will follow.

p.s you don’t have to drive, figure out your local lakes. Or did you already destroy them?

another good thing about only having a 5 fish limit is, most people don't fish that lake, So usally the fish are that of good quality. I know sylvan has nice fish. I wish they would do the same thing to the river, Look at rice lake. Its like how many houses can you put in one little area.

We are blessed to live in MN. Do you really have to drive 60 Miles to find some good fishing? Sometimes the best fishing is in your own backyard, you just don't know it. Get some guts and strike out on a local lake and give the better known lakes a rest. I'll bet you can find a lake without spending more than $10 on gas.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. 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. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   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...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
