St Cloud Fishing Reports

Looks like a great way to spend a Sunday smile

I too would be hitting the woods in search of a few fresh shrooms, but everytime I get within sight of anything woodsy the skeeters and ticks come out in force crazy

Made it out to one of the Richmond area lakes for a few hrs this evening. Found good numbers of bass and a few panfish as well smile I had best luck on the Triger x curly tails on light weight heads. Also got a few fish with floats and minnows, but the fish seemed to prefer the more active style of fishing today smilefull-26589-46361-20140603_163504.jpg

Those are some hogs....think the "greys" as I like to call them, are one of my favorite fish to catch. Those little buggers put on a show.....

Some photos from last night, the mother of all walleye and a rock bass that something else thought might be tasty for lunch!

Nice fish Nick and Rick. smile

Now that I think of it,I don't remember seeing a rock bass pic on the forums before.Original Nick smile

Went out to a lake for some Sunnies today.Found many in 3'-8' fow.They were all over.They were from the bottom to the tip top biting the floating slack in the line.Water was pretty clear so we had a good show.Jigs and crawlers were doing well.They werent interested in plastics at all.Numbers were great today but size was hard to come by for anything over 7"-8" I did find one that was decent enough for a pic that hit the 9 mark.Nice day, no wind, not more a few boats around.

Large mouth were pretty easy to chase too.Just not a whole lot of size to them.Found them pretty shallow on almost every stop made for pan fish.

Nice fish, guys. I went out for some largies tonight. I've been whackin' 'em pretty good recently, but tonight was more or less a bust. Caught a few small ones, but that was about it.

Thats what I like most about the St Cloud Area thread. There is an appreciation for all the fish. The pics of the doggies is for sure getting me antsy for a trip coming up that I will have a good shot at some. Post 'em up boys and girls and am told size does not matter wink Seriously, one of the best times I ever had fishing was hanging out on a dock with my long lining only ....walleye walleye walleye father ....who had not ever used a bobber before, and premature son, who was not even supposed to be born yet, trying to catch 3 inch perch and gills......

"Thats what I like most about the St Cloud Area thread. There is an appreciation for all the fish."

Couldn't agree more. To be honest, I'd much rather catch bluegill and crappie than anything I've caught on the River so far (no idea where to search for them from shore), but it's been a blast busting smallies. Really hoping that one of these days I'll get a couple walleye bigger than 12 inches, but again, it's all about being out there and enjoying the outdoors for me.

Heading back this afternoon to see if we can break the 20" mark on largemouth and 30" on a dogfish. Since we only had limited bass gear aboard yesterday; it was great to see how well we beat up on some pretty good bruisers. Boating 4 at 18" and numerous in that 15" range, great few hours of bassin' with Rick "Roland" G.

7 different species boated.

Just a heads up to boaters using Stearns county waters. Stearns County Sheriffs Dept. Water Patrol asks to be considerate and exercise no wake 300 feet from shorelines throughout Stearns County. Currently the only lakes posted as "No Wake" remain Horseshoe Chain of Lakes and Two Rivers Lake.

Well my boat motor blew up memorial weekend and its still in the shop. So I decided to go do some shore fishing in search for some panfish. I tries a few spots on bass lake and clearwater. While the sunnies I caught were not even picture worthy here is one of the larger largemouths I got and a pic of another red eye for everyone. smile

Great reports and pics guys, Not much of a area report due to being out of town working and week in the NW Angle but I have been fishing in the Motley area on weekends with good results. Keep the reports coming!

      We used Chubbs and rainbows during the beginning of the week and the bite seemed to transition to leeches later in the week.

      22 has killed more game than anything, including deer!
    • knoppers
      not too bad at my place, but they are starting to come out. about the only time they get abundant is when I pull my skeeter out of the garage.😁
    • smurfy
      i reckon the skeeters are starting to get a bit over abundant about now????????🥴

      Shamrock Landing and Grubens marina have both sold minnows/bait in past years, not sure about current season 
    • SkunkedAgain
      I am not aware of anywhere in the west basin to get minnows. Hopefully I am wrong.
    • chucker1101
      The only place on the East end (unless i'm mistaken and don't know of some semi-secret place) that sells minnows on the lake is the Casino bait shop on Everett Bay. Whether they have rainbows is hit and miss. I'm not including Timbuktu as East side   Getting off-lake, the best value for rainbow for me over the last 10 years has been Lucky 7 in Virginia.
    • knoppers
      was up at the lake all week, water temps 65-66 today, and the crappies are now spawning. did not try for walleyes this week, but got my eye on a couple of lakes.
    • smurfy
      well.........i'll be back up june 10th to the 16th. the 10-11-12th i'll be there by myself!!!!!🤗   i'd even be OK with meeting at a neutral place and go to the lake blindfolded!!!!!!!! 😊🤣   leech...he is over there.........just forgets about us FM  rejects!!!!!!!🤪

      On the south end...   Good fishing this week with nice numbers of walleyes and saugers.   A jig and frozen emerald shiner again this week is the go to presentation for walleyes.  Rainbows and fatheads are also working and it is nice to see what the fish want each day.   Various areas across the south shore are holding fish.  Most walleyes and saugers are being caught in 17 - 24' of water.  Anglers are anchoring up and vertical jigging. A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.  Pound the bottom, jig it up in the strike zone, hold.  Trying shaking the jig and lifting it off of the bottom.  Any kind of weight will be a fish hanging.  Set the hook! A mixed bag while fishing walleyes include pike, jumbo perch and a few crappies.  On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes caught  this week on the river in 10 - 15' of water.  Typical spots such as holes, current breaks, weed edges and rocky areas all can hold fish.  There are 42 miles of navigable waters from the mouth of the river all the way to Birchdale.    Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st.   The river holds good numbers of smallmouth bass for those interested in bronzebacks.  A lot of bass are caught by unsuspecting walleye anglers. Up at the NW Angle...  A great week of fishing.  As typical with guests staying at the Angle, some fish MN waters, some slide over into Ontario waters.  Both areas are producing.     Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water have been holding walleyes.  With warming waters, fish are in transition and there are lots of fish.   The goto presentation is a jig and minnow.  Gold, glow white, pink and orange are good colors.
