I dont understand why when poeple talk about how they have seen increased pressure, tresspassing, and littering on and near our lakes, since the advent and popularity of fishing forums, non-stock holders of said forums get so defensive.

I too do not want to start anything.

Not much of a poster on this forum, but I do visit it. And as far as I know, I'm yet to contribute to the decimation of a fish population in any of the lakes I read about on here.

I do however, find it ironic that someone who so strongly complains about how these forums are used to exploit fisheries mentioned in this forum, uses it to voice his position on how they've ruined fish populations. I think everyone on here has used forums to their advantage, either to become more efficient fishermen through the use of technology, e.g. clothing, electronics, lures, etc., techniques, or locations. Very ironic.

what better place to do it. these are the people who should be reading it.

And you just proved a long standing point that I have seen brought up time and time again. Just look at how many people read all of the info on here (number of views) for particular topics, and how many of those same people ever post anything or are even a registered user for that matter. I have seen topics with fewer than 10 posts, yet thousands of views.

jjjohnson, if your intentions on writing that were to help keep the lakes in the area on the down low, you FAILED. Good job buddy.

personaly, i have been on these forums for less than a year and have been only on three regional forums as far as fishing is concerned. not one post encouraged me to fish lakes other than the ones i fish anyway. crappie "villiages" have been around as long as i can remember on lakes that i fish. i fish well known lakes in the duluth area and never seen them overun by multitudes of anglers and have fished them since i have been a kid. i'm glad i have a wheeler so i can get around better. i'm glad i have a flasher to aid me with structure and fish. i'm glad i have a underwater camera to have some fun for me and my grandkids. i think HSO helped more than hurt the fishery. there is a lot of information for beginners and for me who always is looking to learn more. fishing is important to the economy of the state as well. less fishing licences sold is less income for many in minnesota and the dnr. i think there are more people who keep enough for a meal and enjoy just being out there. why participate in the fishing forums if you feel they hurt the fishery? i will continue to help anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors with ideas that i have learned from others that have made me love being outdoors. good luck.

IMO-the furom is a great place to ask for info - ice conditions, lures, baits ,etc. Greed is what drives people to fish out a lake. I have had times when i have iced alot of fish and keep just a few and times when i haven't caught any - but i still get to be out there. If i mention a small lake that could be hurt -i usually just say a local lake ( 75 mile radius of my house) With all the other info out there (books, outdoor papers, lake chips, etc) i'm not sure these forums are giving info that can't be found else where. Thats just my opinion.

Ruby Lake by Marcell, MN has massive 28-30+ walleyes in the lake.  It's a best kept secret.  The small landing can only handle 3 trucks or so.  If you want to catch massive walleyes, just use a 1/4 oz lindy rig, plain hook, and a leech or crawler.  I'm not gonna give you the coordinates, you need to find them.

 

Good luck,

Welcome to HSO  @JavaGuy....I take it you had a problem with someone while out fishing Ruby or something else maybe?

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!
