Spring 09' Destinations

[Barbelboy]

Key West Sharks (Does March count as spring?)

Lake Michigan warm water discharge brown trout (March)

Lake of the ozarks paddle fish and blue/flat/channel cats (April)

Lake Michigan cohos near Kenosha (April)

Upper Red Lake the week of opener (May)

Off the dock on lake vermillion - nothing beats dock walleyes!

I'd love to try the sturgeon excursion, but I think the wife would kill me, or worse...Sell the boat!

Florida in March - To visit my fishing buddy who is a snowbird.

Bass in Central Fl & Sharks off the Keys / My buddy tells me that if the sharks are hitting it is the most awesome fishing experience out there.

Early May trip to Devils Lake (New lake for me)

MN opener on Kabetogama

Canadian Rainy for long Memorial Weekend

English River first week in early June

Alaska in August

I might even find some time to fish locally this spring.

Alright. My Spring destinations have been decided.

Rainy River late April.

Upper Red Lake for eye opener.

L.O.W. Nestor Falls, ON. late June ski' opener.

Minnesota River weekly as well.

Let's hope these gas prices stay at a more tolerable level for the spring. Last spring/summer really broke the bank for me in the petrol fund. Bring on the ice! Spring couldn't come any sooner!

I'm going to try make it to the Sturgeon GTG this year for sure. Other than that, I'll hit the opener on the Croix as usual.

Spring/May 09 - same thing I did for 08 2 days after the opener. Isla Mujeres Mexico! Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado! Best fishing trip I've ever been on.

Opener though will be tho same old Mille Lacs thing I'm sure.

I'm looking to try the White Iron chain of lakes near Ely for walleye/pike opener. Usually my group goes to Eagle Lake in Ontario, but that didn't work out this year (their walleye opener is a week later). Can anyone tell me anything about Farm, S. Farm, Garden, or White Iron Lakes? Any previous success, or pointers for that matter? Anything will help.
