Mississippi River, pool 5a Texas Rig; Pit Boss with the heaviest weight I could find the second (pictured) Bass will probably be the biggest I catch all year. Just under 3 lbs. As much as I don't care for Pike. I had to show this hog my buddy pulled in this day. Northern Pike, weighing just over 10 lbs - look at that dragon head!

After fishing every handful in years in Minnesota for 40 years, I'm FINALLY going to bring my wife up to Vermillion and see it for the first time. I'm chasing smallmouth and pike only (well, I'll gladly wrestle with a fooled Musky but not fishing for them). If the largemouth fishing is better than the smallmouths, we'd probably chase some of them too. Staying at Ludlows on the island. Boy I'd love ANY help with where to start my searching for the smallies and pike and what to key in on that time of year. I'll have basically two days to fish and will have my own bass boat. I am an -

Looking to bring my fly fishing into the metro. Anyone willing to share where they've gone, if at all?

Metro Kayak Fishing
Salsballs93 posted a topic in MN River, Stream, & Shore Fishing - Canoe and Watersports.
Recommendations for good kayak fishing in Minneapolis or St Paul (NOT a far drive, I live downtown but love the outdoors, so accessibility is key). Species doesn't matter a whole lot, love it all - bass, walleye, northern, musky. I'm aware of where I can get to with a kayak, but am curious if anyone is willing to share something a bit more precise from their personal experience in a kayak or boat. Thanks! -
River is low and smallies were hungry!
Bryan P posted a topic in Mississippi River North Fishing Reports
Got out on Fathers day with the Kayak down the Mississippi River for some good ole Smallmouth Bass action. River was low which made a great float and the smallies were hungry! They just couldn't resist the wacky worm once again. We have such an amazing fishery here in MN, glad to call this state home. Enjoy. -
Headed to Brainerd Area July 9-11 coming from Colorado to visit friends. Well actually my girlfriend is I am tagging along to hopefully catch some fish with my flyrod And or jigs. Seeking advice on which lakes and tactics and anything else helpful to help maximize fishing time in your state. I will have access to a canoe on Hubert Lake. Any and all advice would be much appreciated if anyone is into flyfishing Stillwater and would like to go or show me some pointers on your home waters That would be awesome thanks looking forward to any responses.

Nice spots that are difficult to get to for shore fishing but accessible in a kayak or canoe? I've exhausted the shore fishing options and got a kayak to get out there. Info appreciated for any lakes within the metro but am primarily focused on ones easily accessed WITHIN the city, not the distant suburbs. Thanks!

How’s the bass fishing this year? Weeds? Water clarity? -
Bass on O'Dowd
Well_Read_Redneck posted a topic in MN Twin Cities Metro Area Fishing Reports - Hunting
The Largemouths have been biting more and more on Lake O'dowd in Shakopee. I landed this dude at around 8:30 last night in about 4-7 feet of water using a Berkley plastic worm on a Texas Rig. Lots of fun catching him from my kayak The ruler is a little blurry, but I marked him at right around 17 inches. -
I live in the keewaydin 55417 area and the family craves fishing, a lot of the lakes around the area are a bit high pressured it seems as we've been out as far as Lake Elmo, Clear Lake, Vadnais and Lake Peltier but to no avail ( 2-3 hours of fishing with only 1 catch on some days ) on sport fishes. Is there a creek/river/backwater that's accessable for shoreline fishing that's got good fights? I'm down for kayaking too since we have a Jackson Tuna and a F&S Shadowcaster but we don't have an anchor so river kayaking is a no go ( I'm a fairly large lazy dude ) for me. Our next ta

cuyuna fishing
MNredneck posted a topic in Brainerd, Aitkin, McGregor Area Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
I am going to cuyuna in a coule weeks and I am planning do do a little bit of fishing but am not much of a trout fisherman. Do the northerns and bass in the mine lakes have any size to them? -
Smallmouth seem to have lockjaw... anyone figured them out and got on a good bite? Any tips for the Eastside ? Thanks in advance.. Tripp

Big Detroit Lake, Lake Sallie and Deadshot Lake. Bass and Pike were getting active this past weekend. Hitting on artificials. To be completely honest I was all rigged up for bass. We did OK with bass as it is a little early yet in the season. We knew it would be touch and go at best. But, the pike on the other hand were all over our stuff. We had broken rod's, destroyed baits, rigs getting messed up. Lol. It was a great time to say the least. All three lakes were shaping up to be in prime form for the season. Deadshot Lake in my opinion was the best and will be the be

I've been out fishing recently and have been completely skunked from the bank and from a boat using ghost minnow colored squarebills, black jigs with green pumpkin trailers and white paddletails. What would you guys recommend I use from the bank and from a boat?

Hey all! I moved to Rogers, MN last summer and so I decided I should try out some smallmouth fishing from shore in the rivers around here! Problem is, I struggled to catch any last fall. Before I try again this spring, I am hoping to get some feedback on the spots I am trying. I know there are smallmouth in these fisheries, but maybe these are bad spots? Mississippi River: - Monticello: East and West Bridge Park - Anoka: Peninsula Point Park Rum River: - Anoka: Dam in downtown Orono Lake: - Under the Highway 10 bridge. These are my main lu

I’m looking to buy any unwanted St. Croix, Gloomis, Shimano and Daiwa rods. Also looking for Shimano and Daiwa reels as well.

Just figured I’d see where everyone is planning on going Saturday.... I’m from faribault and kayak fish. I plan on hitting up a small quiet lake west of town. I haven’t been on the water yet but I’m guessing water temps are around 50 or just above. How about you??

Washington lake???
Djsnej123456 posted a topic in Annandale-Buffalo-Hutchinson Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
I’m spending a few days with a friend at the end of June in Litchfield “ covid 19 pending, lol”. He’s a walleye guy and I’m a bass guy. Was looking at hitting up lake Washington for some Smallies/largemouth. I’m guessing it will be late post spawn early summer transition. Any help on locating some good fish? Smallies especially? I appreciate the help. -
With the crazy restrictions on Mille Lacs and the uncertain opener are any of you still planning to fish Mille Lacs? Will you hit other lakes or just going to stay home this summer and hope things get back to normal? The very dedicated Walleye guys are really going to need to adjust or hit other lakes. Businesses are going to get clobbered. Sad situation. Hopefully there is something left in 2021.

Spring Smallmouth Fishing!
lakesareaoutdoors posted a topic in Fishing Minnesota - (Spring, Summer & Fall)
Hey guys! Went just over the border to Lake Okoboji this past weekend in search of smallies! It was a blast. Water temps were 39-41 degrees. Had to work the crankbaits pretty slow. Caught a nice walleye on a ned rig as well! It was my first time on the lake. I'll be back for sure! Here's a video from my adventure: -
Has anyone ever fished Nina Moose? I’ve heard it has good fishing, the trip would be mostly walleye and smallmouth.
