Anybody else not fish the opener?

[Guest]

Sorry, but if you don't fish the openner in some way shape or fashion you are not "Hardcore" or even a "Softcore" angler but a form of fair weather fishergirlyman.
"Oooooooh I might have to wait at the ramp. Oooooooh I might get claustrophibic with all those boats around me. Ooooooooh I might be around people that are more clueless than I am."

The DNR should issue you a pink licence and make you pay the same price as a non-resident because you aren't really a true Minnesotian, you are just fishergirlymen!

Well that settles it. There's no way I'm going to be a fishergirlyman. Basspastor, you made up my mind.

Opener, If you like to fish the opener, have great fishing, beautiful lake vistas, no big crowds, hook up your rig, and head for the real UP NORTH. Fish Kabetogama on the border, it's great up here and few stories like I am reading from all of you. Good Luck Fishkab

Yup, a sharp flaming stick in the eye sounds about as much fun as fighting for a shot at a busy MN lakes boat ramp this weekend.

Lots of rivers in MN, most will not see much use/presure on the MN "O-pun-r".

Yup..ya know where I'll be Scoot.

If I was not working this weekend, I would be in Canada..Eh.

Hey Basspastor, you made my day.

I haven't missed an opener in 40 years, a few extra boats on the lake won't keep me at home.

The crowds at the ramps and at the bait shop are all part of the experience for me, I Love it!

I can't emagine waiting all winter for it and then not going, I'd go nuts just
knowing everybody else is out there and I'm not.

My grandson will be going out with "The Guys" for the first time this year, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

No, there ain't no girlymananglers at my house this year.

Hey Basspastor et al, didn't the licenses used to be pink?

You live in one of the (if not the) all around best fishing states in the USA...

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY AT HOME....

Leaves more ramp space and less whinning for the rest os us...

FInd it hard to believe that a person would let the "opener" be a deterant to them catching fish when they can...

You live in a metro area with great fishing, many people would live to have the opportuinity you do... get over it.

See the forecast!!! It's suppose to be rainy! I'm lovin' it! Last year when it rained all day saturday, I was the only one on the lake catchin walleyes. Not very many, but I was the only one!!!!! Doesn't make any difference. It's all about the excitement and anticipation. Get out and fish!

Hey luckyfish, you wouldn't be donning the waders and fishing a dam, would you? I've done the waders at midnight thing for years, and it's hard to beat a dam in the early season. Fish all night, sleep all day, you said it. Opening day? Heck, give me opening night anytime.

Well, seeing as how my school decided to schedule finals a week later this year, i am going to miss the opener for the first time ever. Don't they look into these things when they make the schedules?? You would think that they would........

Good luck, fellas. Have fun, catch a bunch, put a bunch back, and stay dry.
