What Trips do you have planned for this year?

[DEADhead]

The only trip so far that's officially 'planned' is the annual trip to the BWCA out of Lake One. I'll also be hitting a few lakes along the Fernberg Road.

The beauty of it all is, I travel statewide for work, so you never know where I'll end up. So far planned for the year is the Knife R, Dark R., LOW.... And when I get home from work, I can fish the fabulous lakes of Detroit Lakes. It's a rough job but somebody has to do it

[fish stalker]

plan on heading up to lake vermillion in july. hopefully the eyes are biting, and maybe a muskie for good measure.

I am Jealous!!!

Those sound like some great trips!!!! Don't forget to look at the Resort List here on FM if you are planning any trips! It's a great place to start if you do not know where you want to go!

We're heading down to Florida at the end of the month. I'm planning on getting a couple days of fishing in and then we have the annual summuer vaction which will be at Moose Lake again this year.

[setterguy]

Opener at Dora Lake, then head to Winnie Monday and Tuesday. Next weekend at Vermillion. Mid July trip to Lake Michigan for limits of Salmon and then back up to Winnie for a fall fins and feathers trip..jeez I better start saving a few bucks...

[tripper]

Have the normal three big weekends planned (7to9 days each) to locale camp grounds, the furthest being 43 miles. All the camp grounds are on lakes and have several more with in 15 to 20 min. so it's a matter of picking one when I get up. There will be a couple club weekend funtions on a lake and as meny 3to 4 day weekends as we can fit.

Where is Algoma???

[traveler]

Algoma is on the WI shore of lake MI., due east of Green Bay. Great salmon port!

[Tom Linderholm]

If your looking to catch 15-25# Salmon then Algoma is the place! personal boat best 29#, then again that was 3 years ago. I hope the 2006 class is in the upper range this year.

March=Florida for snook, sea trout, pompano, spanish mackerel and red fish, inland huge crappies and gills with oscars and shellcrackers thrown in the mix

April= Rainy river&Red Wing with the Croix opener later in the month

May= St Croix eyes&suager with a quick run to the Flambeau for eyes, smallies and catfish

June= St. Croix eyes&suager with some slab crappies thrown in the mix & a trip up the Gunflint for eyes and trout for 4 days

July= St. Croix bull gills and crappies with a trip or 2 to Algoma after the kings

August=Quebec for caribou, grayling and salmon

Sept= St.Croix eyes and crappies with a quick trip or two to the Flambeau for more eyes and some smallies and sturgeon

Oct= bowhunting and St. Croix crappies and eyes

Nov= Mille Lacs trolling, hunting Wisc, and wading for walleyes around Forest Lake

Dec= first ice eyes Forest Lake & Mille Lacs

January= LOW, Mille Lacs and local eyes

February=Mille lacs eyes and perch

March=early perch on Mille Lacs and hopefully repeat the sequence. It is an unusual year for me this year and my wife has been very understanding. I have to believe that at some point I will run out of kitchen passes but with 3 little ones coming into the fishing age who knows! I am hoping to swing a trip to Great Slave Lake for some of those huge lakers in a year and a half. I may have to forego the Algoma trips that year as the open water season is real limited up there and only lasts a month & 1/2-2 months. Looking foreward to the open water season! Sounds like you guys have some great time on the water ahead of you! Good luck to all of you!

I bet I'll go as far away as Bald Eagle Lake.. and maybe.. just MAYBE.. Forest Lake.....

But seriously.. besides staying in my home area for most of the season.. I will be spending at least 2 or 3 long weekends camping/boating in the Wabasha area... (we usually tent at Hoksila in Lake City).. not just for fishing, but also simple fun and exploration of the river backwaters with the kiddies. Snake hunting too of course (Nelson, WI area)... I catch Massassaga and Timber rattlers here every summer.. and Fox Snakes, Hognose snakes, and many others... C&R of course.. they make for great photos and reptiles are my other cold blooded interest!

[Ritz]

Im going to Alaska in June... Made reservations already, booked resorts.... ALL set to go FOLKS... My 5th time there.. Love it there! Best fishing in the world in my opinion....

[garytheguide]

[picksbigwagon]

Ummm, opener in the metro area, a trip to Red Cedar in WI with my dad and brother (first time ever!), and a trip in early august to Dumbbell and other lakes in that area. Would love to hit Vermillion, but two youngin's at home, I just can't swing it this year, maybe in 15 years when the youngest goes to college.........

[kdawg]

every year, second weekend of fishing, I look forward to staying on west sealy bay on cut foot sioux and have 3 full days of fishing on winnibigosh. We have about 4 to 5 boats and a few campsites. I'm going to Grand Cayman and Las Vegas this year, but nothing compares to how excited I get prior to second weekend on lake winnie - a zillion different spots to try and usually good fishing.

[DARK30]

I really want to check out the Yankton South Dakota area of the Mo River. Rumors of Blue Cats and big walleyes keep coming to mind

[LaVoi]

May 10th-August 19th, Sitka Alaska. I will be a deckhand for 3+ months on a charter fishing boat out of Sitka and can't wait! I have hardly been out of the state of Minnesota in my life and can't wait to spend an entire summer in the true definition of God's country!
