A cooling trend across the state should make it easier to get on the water for longer periods and be more comfortable. Get the kids out !
Crappies have been going good on plastics right on the weedlines or in/around the cabbage beds in 12-16 feet. Tend to be smaller in summer.
I would say stay off the ice in MN now after today. Things aren't looking good anymore...and there is starting to be water for the boat !!
STATEWIDE MN WALLEYE OPENER CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!! It's cold this week, but the forecast is calling for a warmup starting next saturday.
panfish actions still going strong in the area. The trick has been to find a bay with no other boats that have been spooking fish.
Fishing is my business...and business is GOOD! Crappies and sunfish are on a feeding frenzy in 2-4 fow. Head for the north end of bays.
Would recommend everyone jump in the boats and find the northern most tips of the shallow water mucky bays to get some panfish action in!!!!
Finally hit the water in the boat last night. Felt great to get some slabs with the long rod again. It was 52 degrees back in a dark bay!
Hit the ice this weekend and it was still in good shape where I was. Heard a report of a truck through on Long lake. ATV's here on out.
I guess my portable isn't as waterproof as I thought. Rain...rain...go...away. Sitting in 34 ft for craps. None yet.
Hit the ice...what a great day. Got 8 crappies in 15 FOW on macdonald lake. They didn't seem to have a preference between worms or minnows.
Time on the ice will be well spent this weekend in central MN as the weather warms, the panfish are biting, and it's the last wknd for eyes.
Crappies, Sunfish, and slush pockets are the words of the night. Crappies were biting slowly in 14-17 FOW on Lost Lake. Sunfish were in 11
Many slush pockets on the lakes make travel alittle difficult. I got stuck once in the truck this weekend and used the snowmobile the rest.
Hit Norway lake this weekend and couldn't mark a single fish. Every hole I drilled though fresh water shrimp came spilling out with auger.
The lakes are in rough shape in Otter Country. Snowmobile travel is best, otherwise bring a shovel, and a buddy. Snow is deep and hard!
