I went out to Medicine lake yesterday and there were dead panfish discarded all over the place. I don't know who or why but it was such a waste, plus one little sunny was obviously cut up as bait... And then I found a huge PILE of about 20 fish behind a building. There are signs posted and reminders everywhere, only 5 panfish/crappies per person. This looked deliberate, like a middle finger to authority.
I was furious and now I'm just sad. I took pictures and I want to do something about it but I have no idea what. 😩

For those of you planning on a trip to the egg taking station on the Pine River forget it till next year. Due to the covid regs. there will be no visitors allowed this year. Hope they are having a good run. Rayguy

Hey all! Tomorrow (Apr 3rd) I'm taking some friends out to do some fishing. We usually target rivers, and live around the metro, but I'm willing to drive a ways to find good spots. No boat, so this would be shore fishing.
We aren't after anything specific but would be nice to get something to fry up later! Which of course means targeting legal fish like carp, suckers, cats, panfish, etc.

I heard a few lakes are starting to have ice moving and piling up in this two day wind storm. Folks could end up with some shore line damage? 😬

Does anyone know if you can get a pontoon from Mayo to Sibley lake? Looking at property on Mayo.

Looking to set up my new Alumacraft Trophy boat. Anyone have experience with Alumatrac? Stuff available from Alumacraft is plastic and looks weak and the options are quite limited. Stuff from other makers I have seen (Brocraft, Traxstech, Depth Raider, Colliflower) is metal and a number of reviews say they don't fit or scratch badly. Seems the tolerance on this track may not be very tight. Colliflower states they have a top adjustment to account for the poor tolerance but their options are limited. Looking at all options including rod holders, downrigger holders, and other gadgets. Trying to decide whether to buy for the track or just mount directly to the gunwale. Any help is appreciated.

Heavy rain, warm 50+ temps, 15 MPH wind, Coon Lake Anoka Co. Opened today 3/24/21. Sunny tomorrow, good time to get boat ready. Lots of Robbins flying around in the rain.

Is the special 40 inch min pike reg for this lake gone? I only see a 10 per day sunfish limit listed. Thanks

I figured I would just shoot this out, since I drive by it every day to work.
The access in Cold Spring was basically open to use this morning. Yesterday there still was ice at the ramp, and this morning it was all gone. I'm sure some guys are itching to get their boats out, and looks like a nice weekend to maybe do so.
I might try and get out Saturday if it stays dry. I never got a chance to do some data logging with my big motor last fall. It seems to be running a bit rich, and I want to play with the fuel tables/injectors a bit. Looks like a great day for that.

Now that the season is over for eyes, was going to get reels ready for next year, while waiting for summer. I have been using 6lb test but currently only have 4. I use the Berkley fireline crystal micro ice. Try breaking it, cut into hands. Think it would be strong enough. What does everyone else use, and any problems landing bigger fish?
Thanks

Due to all the the weeds, I’ve heard the name ‘Garbage Bay’ given to the bay just West of Niles Point - which bay actually has a name, Laura Bay - but I’ve not heard of Garbage Point. Maybe it’s associated with Garbage Bay? Dunno for sure... -

Skunked - I've always been Lowrance. A friend suggested buying one smaller Humminbird to connect to the Minnkota. I did just that with a 9" and have since upgraded to a 12", and have been very happy with the setup. I prefer the Lowrance/Navionics for navigation, and the Humminbird with their Side Imaging for fishing. -

That's a beautiful part of the lake. Great pictures. Forgive my ignorance as this is more of a map question. Is "Garbage Point" right next to Niles Point? I've heard the name over the years and believe that it is right around there on the north side. -

I don't remember what kind of survey they did in the fall, but whatever it was showed very favorable walleye populations on Vermilion. I did a quick search, and they were netted not shocked out of the water: http://timberjay.com/stories/walleye-boom-time,17521 -

You got it, bro! The secret spot is not so secret... Usually the beach is empty in April but it wasn't this past weekend (we planned to try Sun before lunch and there was no room, so we took early lunch, came back and thankfully then the prime beach spot was open! YES!) The high water is one thing; there's at least enough standing room and I could barely fit a folding chair. (but action was hot--we weren't sitting much at all!) The bigger issue was casting room. 80% of the time I spent fishing and 20% untangling line from the brush/trees. 🤣 -

East end of Waconda Bay. Our dock points N towards Niles Point, which you can see in the background there. Been eight years now since we bought; every year better than the last. -

Still there today, 2 boats in the water along with at least 2 vehicles. Usually they're done in 2-3 days so I'm not sure if the weather delayed them or if since it didn't happen last season they are taking more. -

I assume they also didn’t do the fall electrofishing survey to assess young of the year walleye? -

Nice job @DonkeyHodey The old "secret" spot produces again😏 Hard time finding a place to stand with the high water?
