Bass in Hibbing?

[8right]

hello all, i'm making a trip to hibbing in may, and was wondering what the best lakes are there for bass fishing if any(?)Or just the best lakes there to fish in general, also if anyone knows a good place to mushroom hunt, I would surely appreciate any help on this, this will most likely be the only time I get to the hibbing area, thanks!

There is a lake between Keewatin and Nashwauk called Blue lake. 7 miles west of Hibbing. I'm not a bass fisherman but have buddys that fish it all the time. I believe it is an overflow mining pit. Lots of dead heads and shallow waters.

8right,

Welcome to the fishingminnesota.com, specifically the bass forum! Good to have you aboard!

I'm not familiar with that area but make sure you're not fishing bass until the last weekend in May. I'd hate to have you get busted by the DNR. Hope you find something that works out.

Bass season is open North and East of Hwy 53 for us Northern MN bass fishermen. It opens the same as the general fishing opener. Where is the Ely Lake Expert? I am sure he can help you out. His Ely Lake has a good population of both big and small bucket mouths.

Vermilion will be open for bass on the walleye opener, and is a phenomenal bass fishery. Last year, the last week of may was producing tremendous numbers of smallmouth and LM. If you would like to contact me, you are welcome to.
