Minnesota river at Mankato

[Sarge]

I will be in Mankato aug. 6th to watch the VIKES scrimmage K.C. And I would like to know if there is anywhere to catch Cats from shore in the area. I plan on spending the night and getting some quality fishing in on the river, if not there maybe a local lake. Any info would be much appreciated!!!!!

You can catch cats at sibley park,Land of Memories, or Judson bottom road.
I was just out fishing the other night and on my way back I looked for a good spot to fish from shore that was easy and fast to get too. There is a nice sand bar forming by Land of Memories.(Here how to get there) When you drive in and cross the rail road tracks follow the road till you see a fenced building on the right. Park there and walk to the right side, you will see the river on the right (Blue Earth)keep walking till you see where the river cuts across left to the Minnesota river. The sand bar is on the Minnesota side.
Also you can fish the very end of that point where the Minnesota river and the Blue earth river meet.

If you are planning on camping Land of Memories also has a Camp ground.

Hope this helps

SARGE,
VIKINGS? THOSE THE GUYS THAT GAVE UP 40 POINTS LAST WINTER WITHOUT EVEN TRYING? ANY BODY WATCH RUSTY GATENBEE(sp) ON CHANNEL 5 TRAFFIC THE NEXT MORNING? FUNNY!
THAT AREA HUBCAT SAYS IS GOOD, IS GOOD. ALSO YOU MIGHT CHECK OUT THE DAM AT RAPIDAN WHICH IS JUST SOUTH OF TOWN ON THE BLUE EARTH RIVER.
BYE THE WAY HUBCAT...HAVE YOU HEARD ANY STORIES YET FROM THE DAM AREA? I HAVEN'T SEEN IT THIS YEAR YET.
WET NETS!

Musthavemuzk, I'm still not sure about the Moss deal, just hope it doesn't come back to bite us. And Dark30 I think it was actually 41 points. But I bleed purple, and have for the last 30 years. I can always hope!!!!
Anyways thanks Hubcat and Dark30 for the info, I see Judson on the map, but what is this Land of Memories, is it a park? And what am I more likely to catch flats or channels, that way I'll have a better chance of using the right bait! These options look real good Thanks!!!!!!

Sarge,

The land of Memories is across from sibley park. Take hwy 169 south cross the bridge over the Minnesota river- keep going and you will cross another bridge going over the Blue Earth river, the exit to the Land of memories is the next exit on the right (camp ground)
Land of Memories is good for flats and channels
