JohnMickish Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Another vote for Ottertail County. Going to see some family and fish, killing two birds with one stone. The lake I choose will depend on water temps. If the spring keeps going the way it is, it looks like it will be Otter Tail lake but if it cools off I have a couple of small lakes up my sleeve.

paceman Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Otter Tail County. Lake is still undecided. It all depends on how this springs weather plays out and the weather on the opener. It pays to be flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Uran Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It pays to be flexible. It also pays to live in an area with a TON of lakes!!! I'll be on Big Rock Lake slammin crappies and 18" eyes!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAFly Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I thought I was going to be stuck in California on a business trip, but it turns out I had the wrong weekend, so I'll be up on Leech! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Deep Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Headed to Vermillion on Sat. because that's where my fishing buddies will be. Headed to Red Sun - Wed. because the fishing is awesome. Then St. Louis River Thurs. or Fri. because the crowds thin out, and then a camping trip to Basswood on Sun to Thursday because I happened to luck on to a overnight motor permit last week and the fishing is good and there are no bugs.

Sherpa Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Wow, looks like it's going to be a good week for you Down Deep. I think I will be on the St. Louis River braving the crowds. I'm thinking about trying to find a place to dock my boat on the river for the week to avoid the zoo at the boat landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Deep Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Wow, looks like it's going to be a good week for you Down Deep. It will be two weeks of vacation after 8 months without a break from work except for weekends and a two days off for a trip to Canada last Jan. I'm ready to leave now.

Down Deep Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Where: A weddingWhy: My cousin decided she had to get married on FISHING OPENER (Is fishing a legitimate excuse to miss a wedding?) I should be heading to Winnie the following weekend. Miss it only if you want to take, you know what, from the whole family for the next 50 years. There are those unfortunate souls who, for some reason, are not enlightened and can't see the need for the sport of fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_walleye Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Gonna play it by ear. Hopefully Mille Lacs if the weather looks alright. Never done an "up north" opener and my friend has a place at the red door. If not Mille Lacs, we will hit Pepin. We did great there last year.

BFJ Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hello from UPNORTH! Lake Vermilion iced out on April 6th! Earliest ice out on record! DNR already netting and stripping eyes. If weather holds we should have ideal conditions for opener! If you consider heading up this way...be aware it has snowed the last 3 opening mornings! Don't get any better than this!

igotworms Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Whitefish chain in Crosslake. Uncle has a cabin there. Wally's in the AM, stop for crappies on the way back to the dock, have some BBQ and beer, then back out for wally's at dusk. Life is good.

CRAZYEYES Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Going to the cabin on Kabetogama. Its gonna be a zoo. Hopefully I can get away from the crowds because I might have 3 other boats with me and 9 or 10 guys. Just kind of hoping that the weather is better than last year because last year was not pretty.

Moses2531 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 igotworms.... Do you usually fish Whitefish on opener? I too have a cabin up there, (friends cabin) actually and out of tradition we always try and fish it for opener as well... Usually a very tough opener lake but with this unusual weather maybe itll give more than 2 or 3 up this year! Haha! So where do you usually fish in the morning? Ive actually had some of my better luck fishing off the first shelf off to the left of the entrance of Bertha Boat works! Its off the beaten path, but we pull a mixed bag of eyes, pike and some nice bass off that steep drop... I also pull cranks in the early morning along Big Trout's south shoreline.. Fewer fish caught, bu they are always nice ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
