KickNBass Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Just an FYI to you all, St. Croix River Bass Opens May 26th. I was on the St. Croix Wednesday and a guy told me he was fishing bass out there. I was pretty sure the season was closed but didn't say anything until I checked the regs.I'm pretty sure he was thinking he as fishing legally.

Ctrl_Alt_Dlt Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 could he be fishing whitebass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickNBass Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's possible, he may have said smallies but at a minimum he said bass. I never say I'm bass fishing when I'm White Bass fishing...would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It would be a pretty easy mistake if he was a Wisconsin resident, as going a single mile east the season is open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickNBass Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's an easy mistake for sure...I may know somebody that has made the mistake in the past as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigums Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Is it also closed for WI residents as well? Being border water and all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassnub Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've never fish the border water before MN opener but I assume it would be ok for MN resident to bass fish WI opener if you have a WI license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Hunter Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It is closed for everybody until May 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Whacker Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I reminded a guy flipping docks at the marina today while I was changing a prop and he was shocked he figured it had been open since Wisconsin opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
