Where are you going on opener?

[Fish Head]

So where are all the FM’ers going this year on the opener? Going up North? Staying in the Cities? I'm curious how many people are going to follow the stampede of boats out on Red Lake.

As for me, I'm going to Cass again.

15 days, 8 hrs, 18 min's, and 24 sec's left until Opener!

I have to many commitments opening weekend, so my opener will not be until the 19th. I will be headed on a few lakes a little west of Alex.

[Bubbadust]

I'll probably be headed to the hospital--my wife is due 2 days before (on May 11)... I'm not sure if I should feel like or like

[Walleye Guy]

My two daughters dances recitals!!! I will be headed to Vermilion on the Thursday following the opener however....

[Ole the Guide]

I think with the gas prices I'll stay around home. Plenty of fishing around here! My big trip will be in June when we go to Canada!!

[Bobby Bass]

I'll be leaving the boat at home and hitting a river with my daughter. When the landing clears out after the weekend then I'll go do some bass fishing....

[Mr. Pike1]

Heading to the Horseshoe chain to rain in the new fishing year. Hope the weather is like it is now. I remember some bitter cold rainy openers that I would just as soon forget.

Opener? What's an opener?

Had a full weekend sturgeon fishing on Lake of the Woods last weekend. Been catfishing on the Mississippi pretty steadily over the last month. Might wet a line for some suckers this weekend.

What are we waiting for to open again?

[DTro]

Hanson, I swear....I just clicked on the say the same exact thing. It's funny 10-15 years ago, the "opener" was the highlight of the year for me. Now....nothing, nadda. I probably had more fun tonight than all the "openers" combined.

See the carp forum for details

Planning to take my cycle up to Huntersville the weekend of the walleye opener and get a course ready an enduro on the weekend of the muskie opener.

My daughter told me that walleyes don't get big enough to justify the time it takes to catch them.

I've been raising her on a steady diet of cats, carp and now sturgeon.

I'am going racing for the weekend and then the eyes will get their turn on Monday. Washington or Tetonka,South central Mn.

[eyepatrol]

Hutch area...a couple small lakes that don't receive much pressure. Nice to be out there with only 3 or 4 other boats!

[walleyeking#8]

Probably in the Willmar/Spicer area. If not I will probably head west to bigstone or maybe even further west into N.E. South Dakota. To tell you the truth, I am really not sure where I will go yet. The weather will determine my location. Goodluck to everyone who ventures out this year.

[PerchJerker]

Well, I'm going to be on Upper Red. Sounds like maybe I'll have the place to myself

[Sandbar]

In about 24 hours, I should be pulling in my first St. Croix Walleye of the season.

[BLACKJACK]

Four years in Uncle Sam's Navy made me abhor lines, no way will I voluntarily subject myself to the zoo at the landings, I'll wait until Monday or Tuesday evening and then head out to a small lake around Willmar. Come the 19th I'll be up on Red!!

[montanagriz]

Headed to up to Ottertail for the 5th year in a row. Sure am hoping we won't be hit with 30 degree temps, rain, and 30mph+ winds from the Northwest like last year. Best of luck to everyone, it will be here before you know it.

[Harmonica Bear]

I'll be up on the big pond they call Mille Lacs. Me, and my dog, and my fishing buddies, and walleyes, and nature, and... oh ya...a gazillion other people....., but I still can't wait!

Good luck everybody!

[snowgoose]

We are going to hit Winnie. I have only missed it one times in the 30 plus years.

Good luck to everyone.

[Mark Christianson]

Theres no place like Ottertail!

[Opie]

For me and the outlaws I run with, it will be the Big V for our annual opener excursion. Been going to the same place for years, always get a few fish, but get well over our limits of laughter, entertainment, and stories to keep everyone excited until the following year's opener.

Great time with a bunch of old friends, and even a few fish to be caught.......what could be better?

Cliff, if your lurking this post, I will be venturing to the east end sometime over opener to see Bob. Will stop by and say hi if your around, or see you on the lake. That was a great time on the Rainy, thanks again for giving us a bed for the night.

We will be up in Blackduck for our 5th Annual Bushwackers Opener Open Always a great weekend of a lot of fishing from crappies on Friday to walleyes on Monday night. I can't wait.

[Bop214]

Vermillion for me as well!!

[Northlander]

Looks like Vermillion will be a very bussy place this opener. Looks like last years good bite word really got out.
