Took my dad out Sunday afternoon SW of St Cloud. Spot Locked in 8-9 ft on weed edge. Caught several crappie and sunfish in just the one spot. Also caught several 3 inch bass. Pesky little things. Both crappie and sunfish had eggs. I expected the crappie to be done, as I know sunfish need warmer water yet. Temp on locator was 65. First fresh fish since last fall. Very tasty.
I wish they would go even further. Placing a fish in a bucket or on a stringer is obviously going to reduce its chances of surviving. But if you catch a more desirable fish, you can still legally release the one that's half or fully dead in the bucket. Doesn't make much sense.
If you place them in an aerated live well, that's obviously much different. But a lot of anglers don't have that option, and its certainly not an option in the winter either.
Don’t worry, Tripp. I’ll get to the lake tomorrow and give you a quick report. But, when do the smallmouth NOT bite on Vermilion.
They’re probably on the rocks, docks, saddles, or points…..
Culling is not against the law in Minnesota unless you have a limit. (Which obviously applies in this case.)
They finally cleared up the language about it in the regs this year.
