Notherns on Red

[cosmo]

I do not go after Northerns much but a friend from Italy does and would like me to put him onto some at the end of May. Where would you recommend I go in northern MN? I was thinking upper Red.

I would highly recommend Kabetogama. The numders are good, the scenery is great, and you have a legitimate chance at a real pig.

Lakes Sallie and Mellissa in Becker Co.

Lots of good numbers of 5-10lb ers to keep you interested and a legitimate chance at a 20lber.

LOW, RED other good choices.

Well, I am here to Verify that RED LAKE does have some big ole Pike. While fishing for Crappies today, with the light setup, 4 lb test, I landed my biggest ever..by FAR!

No idea what it weighed, but luckily I had the Camera! 36 1/2" and a pretty nice belly!

Couldnt of hooked it in a luckier spot right on the lip. Fish of my Lifetime no doubt!

Here's a 36" sloughshark I nabbed on Upper Red with my crappie rig.

one thing to remember, in the end of may the water temps are begining to increase.Many people think the middle of the day is the best time for cathing pike. Big pike like water temps from 50-60 degres,so in the middle of the day they go deep. Early morning is a good time ,while the water is a little cooler.

Other than that I have no idea either.
