Got back out again today. Headed South toward the Clearwater lakes area.  Started my initial search in a basin flat, bottoming out around 30 ft deep. Didn't take long to start marking fish... but thes

My weekend report: Friday I was fortunate to fish a private body of water in southern MN with serious big fish potential including a bunch of 15-16" crappies.  I had a blast catching a bunch of c

Anyone have any panfish advise? I'm at my parents cabin on the chain this week and wouldn't mind catching some. We had a few sunday night but nothing for number.

On a seperate note,Crappies and Sunnies are around still in Sartell to Sauk rapids, The hard to get to areas I found a couple of crappies in the 10" range in size.For the most part I'm finding pan fish and bass in a 10-to 15 ft cast reach from shore.It's a lot of work finding them,they seem to move place to place every day not too far from where I originally found them the day before.Lol ,I been losing tackle in the river the last couple days ,time to restock again. eekfrowncrazy Sorry I didn't see the post above.Didn't mean to stomp over your question eek:(******** crazy

Find a good thick weedline and you should get a mixed bag of fish. Rocky points and bars will also be holding some fish. Small crappie minnows or a chunk of nightcrawler under a float like the new Thill Wobble Bobber is the easiest way to locate them, then just pitch jigs and plastics, or continue using the live bait under the float.

Any of you had much luck with Northerns on rivers or lakes? I used a lot of different tactics and locations but numbers Arnt the same like a few weeks ago.I been getting a few here and there on the river with shiners and a hook .2-3lb range is all I see.Same with lakes.Sometimes I'm fishing gills and the northern seem to come around then,so maybe there hanging around schools of sunfish,that's my guess anyway.

Rice has been kicking out walleyes, pike and bass up shallow on cranks and jigs. A lot of action in 5-8 fow although with the weeds getting thicker it gets tougher to access them even though they are there.

Got the chance to go out with a buddy and try for some eyes on a local lake and had some luck...ended up keeping 3 eyes that were 18"/19" and 4 really nice crappies...released a couple small ones and 2 that were at that 23" inch range. Wind made it tough to hold on course at times but we still felt good about our day...this was Friday.

Thanks Jared,smart phone cameras work great! Today Gills and crappies started around 4pm in Sartell.Bobbers wernt working so I just used panfish hooks and moved a wax worm or crawler on the end.Realing in slow worked well.I got pretty dirty over there with all the foam and everything near me.For me today I beat my own record of a gill caught at 8.5 inches.The crappies were about the same size they've been lately.It was hot today.Glad I'm back home in the ACfull-45395-35086-imag0327.jpg

Sorry My hand was covered in foam and dirt from the river.

Went on the Mississippi Pretty good day with a limit of crappies and a 18" smally.Jigs and gulp minnows for bait.I was surprised the crappies didn't move again.They move day to day around 20 ft apart from where they were the day before.I guess the river condition didn't change much from yesterday.full-45395-35157-imag0339.jpg

Jeremy, nice smally and good idea on the avatar. As for my honey hole whistle...it is worth a shot. The only thing I have ever seen in there besides the ducks and geese are koi, bait fish, muskrats and one time I did stumble across a bullhead but those things could live in a bucket of dirty water for years grin. If not this summer there will be access to it next spring right cool.

I suppose if muskrats can swim up it there must be a way right. Seen blue herons with small fish at times now that I think of it.

I was in the neighborhood so I decided to see the quarry park in st cloud.I only had some plastic bait with me.It was a Sun fish day.Next time I hope I have live bait.Maybe a trout will bite.Everything was released as the park would want it.The suns and bass looked skinny,they don't seem to eat much.Lots of good things in that park with some history,hikeing and plenty of nature to explore.I'm glad I got to see it full-45395-35234-imag0348.jpg

Made it out on the river after cats again last night, would like to say we did good, but can't this time. Got on the water by 8PM, by 8:30 Traderlee got his first fish, a mid 20s fish, by 9 he had his second. That was it, we stayed till 12:30AM, had a couple more hits and caught a few bullheads crazy I think the front that came through the day before made things tough. This raccoon was the highlight of my night frownfull-26589-35280-005.jpg

I was down below the dam today seeing what everyone was up to, when I ran into this guyfull-26589-35279-011.jpg Nice crappie Jeremy smile

Almost forgot, the guy we talked to that said he was getting 3lb, 19in crappies did get a nice slab that was around 12-13in, but I bet he measured it out at 15-16 grin I love listing to the stories of fellow river anglers smile

      By smurfy · Posted

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
