Eye4eye, Are you Tim?? I think you are. If so you can come hang at my place on Waconia for opener if you want. We are going to have a bonfire and fish from boat, the dock, and maybe have a few cold ones.
Good Luck and Good Fish'n

No, he's not Tim. I'm Tim. I know that my name says Matt, but I thought it would be funny if I picked a name that rhymes with fat, you know, because I'm fat.

After 3 months of planning fishing opener, the bizzo told me last night that I had to spend time with her

I'm so PO'd right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to spend Midnight to Saturday after noon down on a southern MN lake (Lura) and spend Saturday afternoon and evening on the MN river. But looks like I have to leave all the fish there for someone else

Korn...bring her with. Ask her to go along and maybe she won't think it's such a bad idea. Most likely she'll be happy first, because you asked her to go along and second, because you are spending time with her. Just a thought...good luck.

Whats a bizzo?

I would have to say that means "Bitch"
Hope I didnt offend anyone putting that.
Sorry if I did, but a question was asked

Tonka would be pretty busy with alot of trafic. But it still sounds good.

Korn,
Just go anyway, so you don't get any for a while. Opener is worth it . you still have YOUR life to live! With how much you fish, she should know how important it is to you.

[korn_fish]

Just to put the record straight. I did ask her to go with but she couldn't becuase she had a project for school that she had to work on, but yet I was still supposed to spend time with here when she was working on the project. Then a day later I was told that I never ask her to do anything with me. Then last night I find out that she was already planning going up to Mille Lacs on Sunday with her ex hubby.

guess what.....I'm following "Whatts" suggestion and I am going fishing this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm, I'll change my name to Tim if you give me your address.

Korn-remember this:

It is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Back to the subject at hand... I'll be out on Tonka. I have done well there the last several openers. This year I am going out at midnight, which is the earliest I have ever gone out. This brings up a question. I normally fish 8-12 fow on the opener, and do very well there. Since I am going earlier than usual, should I target shallower water, like 3-6 feet? Any advice about shallow eyes on Tonka would be appreciated.

[Ice9]

My question exactly. On Tonka, for example, trolling cranks after dark...the weeds are reviving, growing, but not up. Do you find 3-6 FOW with weeds, or 3-6 FOW clear? Normally I'd seek a weedline, maybe 10, 15 feet deep, and work the edge, but there aren't edges in the shallows as much, just areas where the weeds are not yet full. Suggestions?
