Walleyes are biting on the rum it's the best walleye bite in the area. 

Ducks are starting to show up :)

my old man called in some bucks but did not get a shot. A friend watched buck breed a doe. 

Grouse and pheasant north and east the better it gets. 

Please watch for deer ticks!! They are bad!!!! I know as I am reporting I have been stuck in bed for a few days because of them. I missed a tiny one that packed a punch the doc wants me to take it easy until next week.

I'm so paranoid about that! Given that I ache and am tired most of the time anyway, due to advanced years, how will I know the difference if I get Lymes? :)

I am not saying the ice is safe! Most lakes have 15 to 19 inches around Princeton which is 20 miles west

      Went out to Blue lake last night from 5-6 pm   My nice spot(area) all year so far.... skunked.   spotted them when i first got there and pulled a Crappie to bottom of hole.   Some thing  has changed ... time to change with it.   i was in 23-25 feet and had dead stick down and jigging around and not even the perch at the bottom wanted to bite.   HMMM ... time to get to 15-19 fow in some weeds me thinks.  Have had such a good year so far ... Fish won last night, my hats (or gloves) off to them!  I'm coming for ya fishies, i'll find ya!!

Went up to Shakopee lake today, heard the bluegills were hitting good. I've never fished this lake before so i was pleasantly surprised that right where i sat up I had consistent action the whole time. Lots of good eater 7-7.5in bluegills with thick backs and a few 8+ ones mixed in too keep the excitement going. Biggest gill topped out at 9 1/4in, threw the big girl back, can't catch 10+in gills if you keep all the 9's.

That lake has been OVER RUN with small pike the last few years.   They did some construction on the Rum near Vineland Bay and took out Buckmore Dam in the state park and it significantly affected the flow/water levels through the area.  I used to catch a lot of nice largemouth bass out there and now its about 40 pike instead, one snake after the other.
