I think you're going to have a hard time getting coordinates from anyone.

Get the lakemaster map and it has general coordinates for the flats, rocks, etc. It shouldn't cost you more than $20 or I think the Tut's maps have coordinates too.

If you're not sure where to go, let the masses help you. There should be enough boats around the rest of the year to help you find fishy spots.

Sloppy Joes, Banana, 7 & 5 mile have been worthwhile, especially the deeper edges away from the mud. Try 30+ feet during the day.

I wouldn't trust any coordinates you get from this crowd. We tend to not give up the hot spots. You can ask about tactics, areas (Sand, Gravel, Mud), but that is about as specific as you are going to get on the open forum. Someone may email you them, but even so, you are better off finding your own. Use the main areas as mentioned above, venture around a bit and you will find your own honey hole. Using other people's coordinates don't help you enough because it doesn't teach you the current pattern or specific day's bite conditions. Be flexible and find your own way, you will enjoy it much more than relying on someones coordinates from 2 years ago where they caught 15 fish.

VEXI,

That is like asking what the lotto numbers for next week are going to be grin.gif.

You sure get an A+ for trying.

I would get out to the pond and do like they said above. Soon enough you will build your own way points for hot spots. Then you can report back and let us know what they are grin.gif.

Good luck!!!!!!

I would say asking for fishing GPS points on a publish fishing forum is like asking for someone's bank account information.

The H20 uses the mapping chips. Get the lakemaster chip and use it to identify breaklines on flats or other structure that might be fun to fish. Go from there. Either that or get to know people, fish with them multiple times, become friends, and then they MIGHT get you those coord's! smile.gif

Get the lake master maps and mark spots as you here them on here Sloppy Joes, etc. The main thing is just because someone gives you a coordinates does not mean it is the right spot to always catch fish. Weather, wind, water temp time of year change these things. I don't mind giving out coordinates the main thing you need to know is when and how to fish those spots which I and others tend to keep to themselves. Good luck.

Rodmaker,

My cousin got in trouble with the wife at the last minute. He apparently forgot to ask permission. I told him that was his first mistake, not asking to go with a wife and 2 kids is like telling me your going to give up the hot coordinates, it just isn't going to happen. I swear, I am never going to make it up to ML. I am going to the cabin this weekend (Pelican), but that is with the family, so I will just have to fish there for the time being.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. But you have to get out of the house first.

That's my tactics... Hope she doesn't read this.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      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
