Drain bamage on a bass guy

[Cooter]

I still can't fathom that some muskie fishermen publicly confessed to converting to bass fishing. I think there should be a warrant issued for the shady character that persuaded this innocent soul to such despair. Fer shame, fer shame

[delmuts]

mi guest wuold be that the winter , and the thought of having to wait the extra month before muskie season opens after bass season , putt himm over the edge. SHADY ? whose SHADY .

he seems perfectly normal to me.

What took him so long?

Easy now fellas, I have a perfectly good explanation for the conversion.

Its all about time. My business is seasonal, and summertime is my busy time. I don't have the opportunity to go fish Mille Lacs, Leech, Winny, LOW, Cass like I used to. My opportunities are usually on the weekends when lakes like tonka, and WBL are packed. Once fall rolls around its all about bird hunting and dog training. I'm not saying that I'll never be back, its just that with a young family, and a business to run sometimes you have to make sacrafices, and at this time this was my choice....

WELCOME BACK FROM THE DARK SIDE ;-) Just kidding. I would highly recommend that you consider Chisago (Deitz's turf), North & South Center, & Big Marine. These lakes can be a little less insane on the weekends and shouldn't be too bad of a drive from Fridley. There are some serious numbers of Bass in Chisago. I live pretty close to Forest Lake and find myself making the drive up to Chisago more often than not.

Tight Lines,

Setter---

i live in "Friendly Fridley" myself, and there are many lakes even closer than the Chisago Area, that have great fishing, even though the Chisago Area is one of my favorites. There is Turtle, Johanna, Josephine, Coon, Linwood, the River...and even more...there is not a shortage of fishable water around the metro...I am a High School teacher, therefore i have a lot of free-time to fish in the summer so i get out 3-5 times a week....i am very blessed and lucky...if you want maybe we can hook up for an outing this summer!!!
