I want to know which lakes around the St. Joe, Avon, Sartell, St. Stephen area are good for crappies and/or Northerns. I generally use a tip-up for northerns and crappie minnows or waxworms for crappies. I have fished Kraemer and Little Spunk but with little success. Any tips or locations would be helpful. Whats everyone catching fish on? I dont mind fishing for sunnies. Im just looking for some places around here to fish. Any help would be Appreciated.

Good Luck to all of you!

If you want to catch a bucket full of decent gills, go to Gemini Lake by St. Johns. I have not fished it this year at all but have always caught tons every single time I have went in the past. Take I94 to the St. Johns exit and go about a mile. It is on the left side of the road. The lake on the right has fish to but not as many in my opinion. There are a few craps in there to. Otherwise I have not had much luck this year yet. Pleasant and Pearl are always a good place to start but the fish are small. Good luck!

      Ice-In

      By StateofHockey · Posted

      Measured 6" good clear ice today about 50 yards off the north side of Moccasin point. Walked out for a little ice fishing. Remember ice conditions vary around the lake, depending on sun exposure and current in channels/narrows. Be cautious, safe and verify your local ice conditions.  Directly off the Moccasin point boat landing, in the channel ice conditions looked poor. Picture is from Northside of Moccasin point I the early morning  when ice looks the best

      2023 MN Waterfowl Hunting Reports

      By Troy Smutka · Posted

      Finished the 23 waterfowl season over Thanksgiving. Got to hunt two days of the long weekend. Saw a modest number of ducks, and harvested mallards, bluebills, and ringnecks as the water began freezing over during the weekend. One of our tougher seasons with different migration patterns probably due to unusual weather patterns with constant fluctuating between well above average temps for a period and then almost instantly well below temps before going well above again, and so forth. Still will cherish the memories with family and friends and relive the sights and sounds of out on the water during fall. Will be posting ice fishing reports in the fishing report clubs as soon as the ice is safe. Happy Holidays everyone.

      Shocking, I know.  And what may be more surprising is that one need not head westward to find them either.  There is a thriving, reproducing population of them right here in Central MN.

      Cosmo and I took the afternoon off and went pheasant hunting in the fresh snow yesterday.  Tried some new spots that I have never hunted before.  Raised 28 total.  I got a double at the second spot.  Two roosters flushed simultaneously and I dropped both of them.  The first one one fell dead but the second one went down as a cripple.  After retrieving the dead one, I went over to where the second one went down and after some good dog work, Cosmo came out of a patch of grass with it.  Then the final spot produced another rooster for a December limit.  Hunting after a fresh snow is quite often my most productive and enjoyable hunt of the entire season.
