well...was out of WA for a couple weeks and was fortunate enough to have the ol' fishing pole along. oh, and some buddies with a boat. we got out on opener (sat.) at about 4:45am. we were actually within one mile of downtown minneapolis, on an electric only lake. got into two fish about 6:00am first two fish and it was a double, nice!! to bad i got the small one..
.i got one more small one and the other guy gets a nice one about at 7:00am (9 ft, in the weeds). water was low fifties. all in all four fish, but a decent outing....oh yeah...bobber fishing with live sucker minnow (5"), we set the hooks early, so no bad hooks, and all were released without incident.
on another note....just a general MN fishing update.....
reading and listening to most of the reports throughout the state it sounds like it is a pretty wacky spring/summer fishing season. much like here, most biological activity (i.e. spawning) is at or more than two weeks behind. usually late may and first half of june is pretty hot fishing, but this year people are saying it could peak as late as 4th of july this year, depending where exactly in the state you might be fishing. i think this trend is going on throughout the west and midwest....good luck to anyone heading that way..(PDX maybe..?.?..)
EDIT..i did want to add that i drove through spokane and CdA, and holy cow...lake CdA has to be what...4 feet high..??? i don't see it that often but it looked really high...(wanted to fish it but didn't have time)
