I think this is a good idea. I have thursday and friday off. I usually fish tonka, chisago lakes area, or mile lacs but would be open to recommendations. walleye, bass, northern, crappie-in that order. I would rather catch one walleye over 24" than a limit of keepers. My boat or yours. This week I am taking the lady to the pond but next week or the rest of the summer/fall with a week notice I would be game. I love to troll crank after dark in the fall. I often have an open seat. email at [email protected]

Im glad someone made this a sticky. I get off Fridays at noon or i get it off. Your boat or mine (14 ft w/ 55# minnkota). I like to fish for bass but its always fun to catch a northern or a muskie. I have a very flexible schedule at work. So if its a hot muggy day out and i know there will be a storm later that night . . . You bet ill drop what im doing and go fishing!!!

Anybody got two open seats? One for me, one for my little almost-16 yr old buddy that's still learning the fishing thing? Okay, he and I are still learning.

North metro preferred... Medicine Lake possible?

Hunting for walleye, bass, pike, crappies.

Looking for this Saturday afternoon... 2-ish???

It's not the metro area, but I will be on West Battle Lake Sunday evening by myself if someone would like to come along for some Walleye action.

I'll by going to tonka this thursday for muskies. My usual partners are all busy, so if anyone wants to tag along, just let me know. i'm planning on being out pretty much all day, and it could be a tough outing as i haven't fished skies yet this year. but if you really want to go let me know, i'll check this wed night at about 6pm, so leave a number. otherwise, good luck

If anyone would be willing to take me with I would love to get out on tonka some evening since I don't have a boat. I could probably make it to the lake around 6 any night of the week. I like to chase muskie's and walleyes. I would like to compare spots I know to spots that others know. I will even bring the beer laugh.gif

Greetings. Sorry I missed that post, Daze Off, I would have taken you up on that offer in a NY minute. I recently just discovered these boards, fabulous resource, can't believe I hadn't found this before. I live in Andover, been here since 1999, grew up in Spring Lake Park, know Anoka Co. fishing holes pretty well. I had a boat & had to sell it due to a divorce, saving up for a new one, hopefully later this year. In the interim, if anyone in the NW Anoka Co. area wants some company or is willing to take someone on, I'd be only happy to oblige, and will happily contribute to bait, gas, etc.

I've discovered some nice places to fish being boatless, had a lot of fun & done pretty well on Lake Cenaiko (that trout stamp paid for itself on opening day) & the River, and I've even caught a couple of nice bronzebacks off that pier at the Rum River North county park in St. Francis. Being boatless finally got me to learn fly fishing, and I've had more fun in two weekends at Whitewater State Park than all my years backtrolling flatfish for ol' glasseye. But getting out on the open water - I'd never turn it down, and of course I have a lot of time on my hands now for fishing wink.gif

Please PM me or email for contact info. Thanks again to whoever came up with the idea for this thread - only in Minnesota!! smile.gif

I go out most weekdays usually from 2-9pm or so. Many NE metro lakes. If you have no boat.. give me a jingle.. we'll work out a time and place. (I basically target only bass.. but am willing to learn other species- or lakes I haven't tried - from you)

Heading to prior lake tomorrow AM for a few hours if anyone is intersted. Bass fishing.


Any chance you are going early? I'd love to join you. My rig or yours? I have a 16' Crestliner with plenty of room.

I don't have a boat. But I'd enjoy getting out this weekend on Sat or Sun AM from a boat. I've no qualms about getting out early. Metro area anywhere is ok by me. No picky about species.

I'm "allowed" to go fishing Friday nights around 5:30 and Sundays (usually go out around 6 or 7 am). I just bought a 17' boat. I'm pretty new to boating, had a little trouble the first time out with trailering, just have to get used to it. Anyway, I usually have extra seats. I love to fish for anything, but am new to fishing from a boat. Anyone wanting to go out and learn together or show me some tricks are welcome. I live in St. Paul, so like to try lakes within a decent distance from the house. You can email me at [email protected] .

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
