Shore fishing near chaska

[ratdog]

Is there any good shorefishing for walleyes near chaska? I used to shorefish on the mississippi near red wing and always had good luck drifting a jig.

There is a city park just upstream from the hwy 41 bridge that you can get to from the south end of cedar st. Chaska Creek flows in to the river there and downsteam by the bridge there is some rip rap. These are both good spots to try.

After a day like this one, It sure does get me thinking about the ol "Sneak n Cast" routine!

Can't make it this weekend Rat but lets keep that in mind Care to meet up on a UT game?

[aanderud]

Did someone say UT? I have UT 2003 and UT 2004 and maybe the original UT. I haven't played in a couple years tho.....

Pick your map buddy. Lock n Load

It would be great fun to get some FM guys together and have a friendly little blood bath

Regarding your post of 1/7, TBone1 (I only just saw it tonight because we just got back from three weeks in Florida --- my son and I took a charter out of Ft. Lauderdale on Jan.16 and in the space of two hours from 7:30 to 9:30 am we had doubles sailfish twice, so we caught a total of 4 sailfish (all about 7 feet to the tip of the bill, 65 pounds, released)-- captain said he'd never seen anything like it! but I digress ...), with the warmth this week I'd like to maybe get out Saturday to that place in Chaska you were talking about. Would you mind e-mailing me with a little more information, Or, for that matter, email me if you want with some information about anywhere where there might be productive open water within maybe an hour or so of the metro area. My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks a ton TBone1, or anyone else that reads this post and has some tips for me. I am new to FM (posted twice last fall) and I promise if I go I will post my results. FM is absolutely awewsome !! I'll bet it is the biggest fishing forum in the country and everyone is so involved and posts so much which, of course, is what makes it so good. An incredible on-going discussion of everything there is to know about fishing in MN! I've lived and fished for 19 years in MN and I am only now getting to know the FM fellowship. A great 2006 to you all ... donmc (I put that stupid display name when I was registering and didn't know any better. I would rather be known as "sansocks" but they won't let me change it! Another time I'll tell the story behind "sansocks.")

[DARK30]

Welcome to the forum donmc (maybe we can figure out a way to change your user name to sansocks)

The area your talking about would be pretty slow right now but at the right time of year with good river conditions, its a very good area. The river is just gonna have to wait for awhile but I'd be glad to show you a couple of spots this spring.
