The REAL opener

[kt]

Where is everyone gonna be fishing on the real opener. I haven't decided which lake yet, but it will be somewhere in the alexandria area. My bass itch is really getting bad. I've even contemplated going out of state to get in some early bass fishing, yikes!!!! There is nothing like minnesota bass fishing though, and i can't wait. I think i check my equipment and tackle at least 5 days a week. I haven't used it yet so i don't know why it would be any different than it was yesterday, but at this point i've taken drastic measures to pass the time.

Hmmm. I wish I would be going to WI to fish a tourny but that isn't in the cards. I will probably hit some of the area lakes: Platte/Sullivan, Rock, Bulldog, Mille Lacs. It kind of depends on where the pike fishing tells me to go.

MN opener will be one of the Chisago Chain for me!

You'll be in WI on the MN Bass opener.

If you can't wait any longer, why not head down to the Mississippi River? Pools 4,5, 5a,6, etc. are some ideas on where you might try. The river is loaded with Smallmouth AND Largemouth who are willing to bite! I just love bass fishing in April on the river.

I still consider sunday opener Jo-jo... so saturday in sconny, sunday in Chisago!

I LOVE catching trophy largemouths [ and im not talkin bout my ex-girlfriend] therefor I will be going to the Marcel MN area for the REAL opener.

Where is Marcel MN?

[BIG ISLAND DUDE]

Marcel is about 30 miles north of grand rapids. Lots of water in that area. Best Bass fishing in the state. PERIOD.

I agree with RossT. Fish the river and expand your mind. Do not be intimidated by the river. I have been cathing largemouth on pool four since march.

Hey Big Island, what lake are you gonna be fishing up there? I hunt right outside of Marcel on hwy 38.

I would have to say, ALL ALONE on my favorite stretch of stream where decent sized smallmouth reside! DId I mention, ALL ALONE?

Good luck everyone on the "Real Opener"!!
