Just wanted to start a new post on Albert Lea Lake since the other is huge.

So are they still netting fish there or are they all picked over and only dead unwanted fish left?

Is Anyone still catching them the old fashion way, hook, line and sinker?

I heard that they want to dredge the lake but are worried that they would stir up to many toxic metals that were dumped in there long ago. This woudl in turn cause it to toxic for fish to survive until it gets flushed out and the metals to resettle.

Went there on Sunday and all the game fish are gone. Lots of carp, bull heads, and suckers still there. There were people snagging the carp. The fish will not bite on a hook when they are ready to die. It is so full of dead fish. There are carp in there that are as big as my leg. I heard there going to poison the lake in a couple weeks to kill all the rough fish. It needs it. Way to many carp and bullheads in there. Then they are going to restock it. Hopefully they put more arriation in there.
Good luck and be safe.

      It is  pretty shiny piece of equipment. I was able to purchase it on my scab job wages 😆 I don't think I'll update the electronics any time soon, 3 screens is enough?

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒

      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish

      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too

      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭
