Fishing Reports for Minnesota Fishing-Archive
Name: Dave Detroit_Lakes_FishingI'm new to looking at these reports (just spotted this web site), and I'm interested in fishing crappies. Nottage L. sounds interesting! Where is this lake? I'm looking for a little ice fishing and am interested in spring crappies/sunfish as well (when our ice turns to liquid again)! Can you help me out? I do most of my fishing from a canoe - done a lot of that in the BWCA. Not Afraid to Portage, Dave Name: Harry Upper_Red_LakeCookie: It was nice meeting your Brother Warren and his buddie Matt. They seem like nice guys and they have a good sense of humor. Also was nice to meet your wife, you are a lucky man to have such a lovely lady! My son was happy to have met you and can see that you enjoy life much. Our report isn't very good, we only caught three perch and zero crappies, not a good day for fishing!! Talked to some people from Forest Lake and they had the same luck as we did...none. Also talked with some fellows at the gas station in Kelior and they didn't have anything either. They sure were busy at the station..wow..We stopped at Hillmans and asked the lady where to fish and her reply was "your guess is as good as mine!!" Hope to try it one more time this winter and have my son catch a slab!! Harry Name: Randy Sherry Cass_LakeGreetings fellow fisherman, Me and my friends are planning a trip to Cass lake to hopefully experience all the great fishing you are talking about. I was hopeing maybe some of you could suggest a good lodge for us to stay at. Something that has boats to rent and maybe even guides??? Can you help us out??? Thank You, and have a great day!!! Name: Jon Detroit_Lakes_FishingJim, I can't agree with you more. I'm a Civil Engr Tech, for a County, but not Becker. I need to go to the Becker Court house or to the Becker Engr and see what I can pull up. I also have been working with the CP RR on a project, I'm going to talk to someone that will lead me in the right direction. I don't really want to fight with these people, I just want to prove them wrong. feel free to email me, maybe we could work together. Name: Zach Leech_LakeHows the perch fishing been?

Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakeWell well we have good news and bad news, Brother Warren his buddy Matt my wife kellie and I caught 20 crappies the biggest one was 13 3/4 inches. Cusin Curt and his guys only caught 2. Scott and his guys did not catch any crappies. John and his buddy zero so they headed to LOW hope they do better there. We had a little run when we were leaving at 11pm caught 3 and missed 2, Warren and Matt were wiped out from the drive and went to bed.We will have fish for lunch tomorrow,Matt has not fished in 15 years. COOKIE Name: Shawn Leech_LakeDarrin from New Brighton, sounds like you know Leech pretty good. A couple buddies and I want to stay in MN this fall for our annual week-long fishing trip and are thinking of hitting Leech. Do you (or anyone else on this board that knows Leech good) have any suggestions on where to stay and where to start fishing it? We're not picky about what gamefish we chase but order of preference is probably bass, pike then eyes. Thanks! Name: 300mag Lake_WinnibigoshishFished winnie out of judds resort on feb.20th to the 22nd.Fished sugar bar,caught a few in 35ft of water, but did the best fishing the snag bar in 32 ft of water. also caught a few nice walleyes on snag.I'm heading back to winnie on feb.28th to try my luck again.good luck fish'n Name: Jon Detroit_Lakes_FishingI went to Nottage tonight......And got kicked off 2 minutes after I hand augered a hole. They claimed they owned everything around the Lake. I disagree because CP Rail has anywhere from 100' to 150' of Right of way. I did not argue with the owner and left quitely. They did threaten bringing the Sheriff out to talk with me. I'm going to check with my office and secure some Right of Way maps and see for my self. There is not land between the toe of the RR slope from the tracks to the lake. I want to rent a helicopter and drop in on this lake. Name: crappiehunter Small_Lakeswhat is going on out there i fished it last year and did ok I would like to go but want to no how the fishing is first or anythng going on at stump did good good with bass and crappies last summer any info would be awsome thanks! Name: tullibee Leech_Lakei was reading the reports on winnie, and they said that the perch are eating mayflies, was wondering if the tullibees on leech are starting to be caught, or if the shrimps are not hatched yet. went up there last year, and a whole group of fisherman moved and found them, was a nice time. I still have some smoked from last winter, very good. I suspect the season for these silver darts, will be starting in the next two weeks. keep posting fishing experiences on these tullibees, would be interested to know whats going on. i had a friend go up to red on 22nd and got his limit, 7 miles out of hillman. 12 ft? of water. we are headed up to winnie this weekend for a day. it looks like they might be biting? one does not know until you get a line down the hole. especially reading these comments, it seems you do have to keep moving, and drilling, and goya, get off your butt. as in all th ings. one cannot beat fun for having a good time. Name: Hook Upper_Red_LakeCookie, can't say that I know the guy, but Coors (God Bless the fine work they do there) employs half the town. Thanks for the info, this is a GREAT forum for information! Name: Mike Lake_of_the_WoodsSome friends are comming up mid week/mid march looking to stay in a sleeperhouse that sleeps 4... Any Idea where I chould check to find a good rate through a place that provides trans+bait? Thanky you Name: SCOTT Upper_Red_LakeWAS ON URL LAST NIGHT OUT OF HILLMAN'S. WENT 8 MILES OUT. CAUGHT 25 PERCH AND 5 EYES (1 WAS OVER 5#) BUT NO SLABS. TALKED TO MAY OTHERS AND OUT OF ABOUT 20 OTHERS THEY ONLY CAUGHT 1 CRAPPIE. AT THE FUEL STOP I TALKED TO 4 PARTIES THAT ALL WENT OUT OF WESTWIND AND THEY ALL HAD NO SLABS EITHER. MOVED 4 TIMES AND ALWAYS FOUND PERCH BUT NO CRAPPIES. HOPE THE REST OF YOU HAVE BETTER LUCK. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeHook do you know Dean Dennison? Works at Coors. Glow Jigs,night bite,soft bottom.41/2 miles to 8 miles out.Stay away from plowed banks, do not try and cross pressure ridges with out bridge.Use common sense,stay away from crowds.MOVE MOVE MOVE untell you find active fish. GOOD LUCK COOKIE Name: Dusty Jasken Lake_of_the_WoodsI've been fishing pike just out from warroad for about 6 winters now. The fishing is usually sporadic, but some days are phenomenal! Does anyone know of any structure, or the so called channels I've heard people talk about? I've had instances where we're not catching much, but the people 50 yards aways are hammering them.... ? Name: Hook Upper_Red_LakeFirst timer fishing in MN, me and a couple other Idaho natives are road tripping from Colorado, leaving tonight and plan on fishing throughout the weekend. Cookie you seem to know quite a bit about the lake, any general advice for us? PS, Hook is not a nickname, was born to fish! Name: mot Lake_of_the_Woodsheading up this weekend whats been happening on the big lake? Name: mot Lake_of_the_Woodsheading up this weekend whats been happening on the big lake? Name: cooikie Upper_Red_LakeTalk to Don at Hudecs says they have been doing pretty good. Went to an area not being fished and hammered them,would not give location ,just off by himself. Scott and his buddies did not do to well, 4 guys 2 fish. They did not move,If you want these crappies you need to move if your not catching them move. .10 yards or 100 just keep moving and test fishing. Drill extra holes before prime time,they can be checked for fish quickly with vexlar and minnow. When you drop minnow down if there hungry they will show up within minutes. When you find fish ,set up . I don't beleave the auger will chase them away, I have seen friends set up right next to there buddies and continue to catch fish,again if there feeding they can come fast a furious, do not fish two lines when the bite is on its better to concentrate on one. They put up a great fight. When you get them to the hole reach down and grab them do noy horse them in they are called paper mouth for a reason. GOOD LUCK TO ALL COOKIE Name: sahli Mille_Lacswe are doing a report on fishing on millacs lake and the slot limmets on waleye and the indians commachial fishing. is there anyone out there that knows any thing about this or has any strong opinions? please e mail us at [email protected] thanks Name: Litljoe Lake_of_the_WoodsFishing out of Long Point and North of Twin Islands 2/25 & 26. Fishing slow and small. Some of the resort houses had good catches (checking the fish cleaning houses). Shiners could be found in the Baudette area (Log Cabin Bait store)and some of the resorts. Good Luck Name: fisherman Upper_Red_LakeShooks may have a place available this friday night that sleeps up to eight. very reasonable rate. I know a group that had to cancel for friday night, not sure if the room has been taken yet or not. Name: Troy Upper_Red_LakeCookie thanks for the advice! If you get any new fishing reports could you let me know? My E-mail address is [email protected] or you can just post it on the web site. I was wondering if anyone has any of the GPS locations for the crips. Thanks for all the help and wishing all of you good fishing. Name: Dana Lake_WinnibigoshishMy dad and I went up to Winnie on the 22nd. And we did pretty good. To bad Walleye season is closed. My dad and I caught about 7 good Walleye. And we kept 39 nice perch. 1 away from our limit. We were off snag hole bar. Name: Steve Viste Leech_LakeWith walleye fishing over it's time to think jumbo yellow perch and tullibee (Cisco). Both have been alittle slow but with good company the day is always enjoyable. Best luck so far has been out from stony point and two points. Be careful and remember to always tell somebody where your going. Good luck fishing. Name: Wiener Detroit_Lakes_FishingSome of the hottest sunfishing has been Rush lake south of Perham. Use the Cty 14 access on NE side of lake, you'll see where the action has been from there. Lake Lida east of Pelican Rapids has been ok too, Ct 4 access on NW part of lake, you'll see the activity there also. Name: cookie Upper_Red_LakeTroy When you stop at Rodgers they will point you in the right derection.The area for the crappie contest will be determenied saturday. I beleave it will be out of waskish. When you get on aggressive crappies they will bite on almost anything, we have had good success with northland forage minnows, northland rattle lures,small teardrops with waxies, demons were real good last year,tried plain hook with minnow not one bite. If your not catching fish after dark move,if you keep hunting for them your odds will increase and you may stumble on to a feeding frenzy. Will be talking to guys in cabin later they were out late last night, Have cusins and brother showing up today so will be hitting it hard every night. Will no more later today on how the bite was last night. COOKIE Name: Daniel Upper_Red_LakeI use small rapala perch for big Crappies hit really good on Upper Red Lake.... 5 feet off.... Any Question email me [email protected] Thanks Name: Quickie Upper_Red_LakeDoes anyone know the general location of the crappie contest area? Is it in front of West Wind or Hudek's or Rodger's? ...come on back. Name: Troy Lake_of_the_WoodsI am wondering if shiners improve yor catch rate? Do any of the local bait shops have any? Who are some of the top guides for LOW. I am a fellow guide in the cities and know how much a guide can improve your fishing. I want to hire a guide and learn more about the big lake. Where is the best area to go out of right now? Walleyes is what we are looking for. Any advice would be great. Thanks Name: mnhunter64 Upper_Red_LakeHonzy you out there? Name: Troy Lake_of_the_WoodsHow important are shiners for your catch rate? Do any of the local bait shops have any? If you were to pick an area to start from where would it be? I would like to get a guide any suggestions. I am a fellow guide myself in the cities and would like to gain some insight about the big LOW fishery. Any info would be great. Thanks. Name: wade Small_LakesGoing to grand lake tomorrow, Any suggestions on where to go? Are the crappie biting. I got two dozzen crappie minnows and some power grubs and now it is time to go.
