Muskie Opener

[minnesotamusky]

So where is everyone going for the muskie opener? I think my brother and I are heading up to Bemidji. How is this lake in early June? We fished it last year for the Bemidji Muskies Inc. tournament. Only saw one fish.

[musky_tail05]

I'm gonna be on Cass. Fished it for the first time on last years opener with no luck. Hopefully this year will be different. Come on June 3rd.....

[barnyard]

I'll be riding an enduro in Huntersville. It's weird being so close to great muskie water on the opener and not fishing...

I'll be on Tonka,trying out some of my new ceations. Hopefully it will be a little drier than last year.

[Lals]

Haven't figured that out yet. Been out to WBL on opener with little success. Would like to try something different. The opener has always been tough for me, it seems like it takes a couple of weeks before I see some biters.

[lots of luck]

I imagine it will be Minnetonka.

Cast Cast Cast Cast Cast.....Heads up, big wake.....

[walleye_dan]

West Battle...hopefully the fish will cooperate better than last year

[Random guy]

It all depends on the weather for me. I will take into consideration the prevoius weeks weather and go from that point. If its been warm and the big water has warmed up along with calm conditions I will be on big lakes on big sand flats/inside weedlines. If it been colder with some wind I will be on a little dirty water lake. If I win the lottery I will be just out from my new cabin on LOTW

[MSchmillen]

Either the big pond, Bemidji area, or tonka for me, we'll see when it gets closer. I'm planning on trying some new water this year, but probably not on opener.

[porterhouse]

Not sure what I'm going to do for opener this year. The last 6 years I've been going to the Cass Lake area. My son gradulates(sp) from high school a week later so I have to get the house in shape for the grad bash!!!!

I'm thinking of hitting one of the smaller Tiger lakes in the metro.

I will be going to...................Work!

[MedicDan]

On the mississippi, near this bend in the river I live by or Lake Alexander

[cjac]

Mille Lacs if the schedule and weather are cooperative, if not I'll stick around town and maybe try West side on 'tonka one day and Eastside the other and hit WBL or Forest.

I'm curious to see when ice out will be this year, that effect on water temps will dictate a lot of what the early season patterns are. Reagrdless, I can't wait!!

[MSchmillen]

I had some decent luck on the tiger lakes last year (not the minneapolis lakes). It was actually quite a nice surprise. There are a several that are close to home, so if I work late and don't have time to get to a "real" lake I'll hit those instead. good luck, like i said, I was pleasently surprised.

[therancher]

Crasher .....where on Rice do fish? I would love to get out to that body of water and get on some smallies....Mille Lacs or Alex...weather will distate....

[MedicDan]

I live in rice, fish alexander, and the river bend near my house on the mississippi, I don't fish rice, must of been a miss understanding of my phrasing.

[RuKiddingMe]

Pretty sure I'll be on my favorite Metro Waters that weekend. Possibly up on the Big Pond if all falls right through the spring and I get the blessing on the home front.

Now that I live so close I almost have to hit Forest, its always been a decent numbers lake for me..Maybe Mille Lacs or Vermillion.

[dsludge]

Parking on the spot for a sure thing. Throw all day until she's hungry. Sharpen those hooks!!

[Archery 1]

Hey Guys,

I'll either be on Mantrap or Big Detroit Lake. It just

depends on what happens. The only problem is that Big Dl

recieves a lot of pressure on opening day. I don't know

about Mantrap.

[loebs93]

I'll be checking out a lake just west of the metro area. I was thinking Sugar, Eagle or Rebecca which is nothing special and will probably be packed, but its Musky fishing.

[setterguy]

I will miss meeting Kirby Puckett up at Sugar sometimes. I must have seen him there 3-4 times...he really was a good guy.

[Steve Foss]

Vermilion. There's no other choice close to me. Not that I'm complaining.

[MT Net]

Well, there goes the lake!

Steve, you can't be all that far from Isabella. There's a very nice muskie lake over that way.

[Steve Foss]

Hah, I fished V for muskies about eight times late last summer and into fall and left no noticeable dent in the population. I reckon they'll be alright with me around.

I'm 20 miles from Stuntz Bay. Isabella's more like 35 miles away. But, uh which lake by Isabella?
