So I took advantage of the perfect weather yesterday and brought the kiddo ice fishing for her first time. Fished with tip ups and rattle reels, and also jigged for perch. Only managed to catch one pi

Should be good to go. There are a few drifts around but not too bad. I was bombing around Friday night with no problem. Stop in to joes he'll tell you what's up.

Went out Thursday for a few hours. Caught a 28" Walleye along with a handful of nice sized Bass.

Anyone know if the backwaters in French Park have opened up yet?

Not sure what you mean by back water. I walked out of french park today and fished most of the day. Found some small crappie and caught about 20 of them. You can get out if you walk. I was the only one out fishing the lake today

I mean the canoe trails and backwater area...like where the fishing pier is; and the two bridges in the park...I'm wondering if it is unfrozen yet...it's shallow, like 3 or 4 ft, and a lot of shallow areas like this are unfrozen already

I'm interested in that too. I don't have a boat, and like to fish by the bridge/walking path along West Medicine Lake Road - just across the street from West Medicine Lake Park.

Is that open water yet?

If you're gonna fish Medicine on a holiday weekend I suggest getting there VERY early.

I agree with blakjack. Get there at sun-up and fish till 10 then get out of dodge. That launch is horrible with the holiday lolligaggers.

Last year on Sunday was comical.

Watching people screw around at the landing after a day of catching fat Green Bass was the perfect ending.

Has anyone fished Medicine Lake recently? If so what is happening with the curly leaf pond weed? Last time I was on Medicine you could barely fish it due to the pond weed.

I know if dies off some time in mid-summer but not sure when.

Thanks

It dies when the water warms up.

Well my one buddy got a nasty note on his windshield after hosting a club deal out there. Then my other buddy was out with a guy and someone took his pin out of his receiver and cut his safety cables while they were fishing a different club deal! Unreal! Lucky the rig fell boat and trailer combo fell into the lake instead of killing someone on the highway! Hope this person gets caught!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

I was just wondering/hoping to get an update for Medicine Lake in Hennepin County. Are crank baits possible anywhere due to the growth of over abundant weeds? Any special colors? How are the docks working for you? Lily pads?

Thanks!

Fished Medicine today from 6:30am-2pm. It was very nice and not overly hot until the afternoon. Worked the lake, mainly docks and lily pads. But when that water surface hit 81 degrees, the bite was off.

It was a good day fishing.

Thinking about going out in the morning. Anyone have any ice condition updates? Drove by tonight and looks like the water froze up. Be out there around 8 if you see me say hi!

I'm looking to spend a lot of time on medicine lake this year. Any tips on where to set up. And what are the ice conditions right now?

Got out today, solid 5 inches of great ice. Better bring some cleats for traction. Fished by the French lake boat launch, not a lot of fish though

We fished out of French and did very well, but the ice was spotty. Found 3 inches in one area and then 5.5 the next. Had a great time though!

was out on the ice today at 8am there is a good 6" everywhere west side of the boat launch...

on the other note .... After, Me and my buddy were leaving we both dropped our fishing pole case while carry the sled up the hill. We didn't even realize we lost it until we were at bald eagle lake while unloading the sled. ... I want to say Thanks to Erin for leaving a Note and arranging for us to picking it up ..I;m sure glad there is still good people on the lakes and good sportsman out there. I know if someone lost their things I would return it to them .. Thanks again Erin of New hope " I think" you're a life saver

      2025 Mn bear....

      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.
