Are live or dead minnows preferred guys? I can ask my bait store owner buddies to start saving me dead minnows if they will work as well.

The fresher the better. I wouldn't bother with the dead stuff. In fact I like to have a couple of wigglers mixed with the pinched and smashed ones.

Bring multiple types of baits and experiment. I know I have a new favorite after last year.

I agree that the minnows did work just as well or better last spring.

I will have both with if I get to go.

So the Frozen Emerald's they sell up there wouldn't be any good?

They would probably work pretty well. As long as they were flash frozen while alive, and not frozen dead ones (if that makes sense).

The other boat we were with last year used some Emerald shiners and caught a few fish. Spendy if you buy them up there. They said they were oily and smelly, but I don't think they out produced any other bait.

I believe we caught our larger fish on the emeralds.

Well that's what I'm after of course so might have to give them a try?

Dtro I get what your saying about the flash frozen deal but is there a way to tell the differance or do you just ask and hope to get an honest answer?

You can fish whenever you want. They bite all throughout the day, so you don't have to get out early. And you'd be fine in a 14' boat. Maybe not really comfortable all day, but you don't need a big boat.

Ok...I really, really want to go. But...I don't see any other women have responded. Is this a 'guy thing'? And...I don't have my own boat.

A friend just bought a place right smack next to the Wigwam which is about 10-15 miles north of Schuster's. I'd be happy to find out if it's available if any other women are interested in going.

Maybe if you mentioned that your also looking for a fishing buddy in the Womens forum that someone may respond.

I know that there are some very good women fisherman in that forum.

The list is growing to reserve a flat of crawlers for the big event. All you need to do is call Bob at Moore's bait & tackle to get on the list. (612)861-7412 or write to [email protected]

There were a lot of nice fish caught last year, I hope the same holds true this time. Good luck to those that can make it.....

Local shops will have plenty of bait too iffin folks can't get it down south.

Thanks Norm. We'll get the minnows up there, no doubt. I just ordered two flats through Moore's Bait; pickin' them up on the way North.

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      Crane Lake and Sand Point Mid May 2024 Fishing

      By imhatz · Posted

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      talmoon/spring lake info

      By Kettle · Posted

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      By rundrave · Posted

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      What's on the Grill?

      By leech~~ · Posted

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.
