If weather permits, there's a couple of us planning on checking out Pike Lake this Sunday. Anybody else interested in going? We're planning on 2pm. Again, this is WEATHER PERMITTING.

what is that lake connected to? Medicine right? I was hoping to get a report back from a few guys on fishing French Park, but if those fall through I would be game.

This is in New Brighton off of 694. There's directions in the "Long Lake (N/B)" postings.

It's not too far from Long Lake.

Hey Lost,
If you go to Pike, another spot to try fishing is right in from of the main sewer there is a sandbar, you have to walk throught the woods to get access to it. Usually kids will made a bridge from shore to the bar but if you are wearing sandles the water is only about 6" deep. There are numerous spots down the path more that you are able to fish also. If you are going there Sunday maybe I will swing by and see if your having any luck.

Baswacker, I'm talking about the Pike Lake between Long Lake Rd and Silver Lake Rd in New Brighton. Trust me, it's there. I looked it up on Mapquest.

Went to Medicine today after work.
The French Park area at the canoe docks are putting out some crappies and sunnies. Most of the fish are small, but you can pick through them and make a meal.

But today I took the boat out and fish most of the northern parts of the lake. Man, was that wind strong. Didn't really get into some fish until I fished the back channels leading to French Park. Between the two of us we caught about 40 sunnies and most where pretty good size, some even in the 9" range. Kept some for the fry pan. Only managed 3 crappies and only 1 was nice about 10". Oh, also caught 2 more dogfish "which makes 4 for the yr already" not sure if that's a good sign, but good fights and had something break me off.

All the fish today were in about 2.3'-5' of water and most came on a white flu flu or white tub jig, tip with either a wax worm or BioBait from Catch-N-Tackle green crawler.

Hope this helps and good luck

LOL Baswacker. Normally I am but not this time. I still would need directions to get to most lakes here in the metro area. I hardly know where a lot of the smaller cities and towns are. Obviously I don't get out much.

Pike Lake (in New Brighton) has no public boat access. You can get to it by foot by following a park trail that goes along 694, parking either in the church parking lot (Long Lake Rd) or following Pike Lake Rd (the service rd) off of Silver Lake Rd just up until it starts to curve north.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      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.
