Plans befor Season Closing

[reelemin]

So what is everyones plans for the last month of the season. Where are you trying hard to get to before Feb. 28th???

Let me know, because I don't have a clue as to what I want to do

[Deitz Dittrich]

Season closing date?... Come on sister! Season never closes, just adapt what you are chasing! I actually prefer the late ice bite, and chase sunfish and crappie in the winter mostly anyway. Might head out and chase an eye or two before their season closes, but wont make any special trip for it.

reelemin, where I live eye fishing is getting very slow now. So if Im not up on LOW fishing I will target crappies around here. Nice thing is until eye fishing is over I seem to get a few nice ones when Im not fishing for them.

I hope to get up to Brainerd a couple more times before the end of February and then just stay around home and chase some bull-gills and crappies!

Last big trip is to the Upper Red for Slab fest (last weekend of February). First time fishing Red and cannot wait.

DD - I hear ya - I'm a total Crappie gal. Love those things But there is always that last chance for "eyes". I do actually look forward to targeting the jumbo perch and a few giant slabs !!!

Kylersk, that'll be my last "big" trip too. Can't wait! But it won't be the end of icefishing for me either.

my season never ends.i icefish lake of the woods till the last day of walleye.i make a trip up to url for some late icefishing also. but with the ice condtions the way they r i might have a take a break till open water.

[AceintheHole]

Me and the wife are going up th mille lacs out of wilderness warmth Feb 15-17 my b-day weekend. Should be fun. Hope the fishing up there picks up by them.

[tisosy11]

I've got a couple nice spots saved for late ice and jumbo perch. I will always leave a few lakes alone until "end of season" and than change my target!

[GoFish4]

My wife and I are doing a combo trip for V tines day. Start at Winni for Perch in AM and then lunch @ hills in Squaw Lk and on to Red for Crappie and Walleye for afternoon/night bite. Trip home is usually long but if the fish bite it can be a great trip. (we do it every year)

[reelemin]

Sounds great everyone - but I don't see exact lakes with GPS cords - ..... j/k

I jealous you all have plans, all I have is a "to do list" around the house. But I am hopeing to get back down to Lake Sara for a day or 2.

[eyebjim]

I will fish walleye til the seasons end then I am thinking of hitting redwing for some open water walleye fishing in early march. Depends on the temps.

[blueroof]

I'm with eyebjim, however, first I'm going to hit LOW in early march for some reef fishing, then I'm going to take the boat out on the river. I've got a week off work when the students are gone for spring break, looking forward to that..

[BigWadeS]

Fishing around here and then up to Blackduck area on Feb 22, Slabfest on the 23, Blackduck area on the 24th (maybe)....then throwing up my hitch-hiking thumb to blueroof for a trip to the river!

[blueroof]

BigWade, that will work for sure. Pretty certain we can get you a walleye bigger than that last one you got...

Late Season Perchin' has to be my favorite time of the season!! I am looking forward to smackin' the perch come March, but till then ill be chasing Trout in the Black Hills.

Well that is always a head scratchin dilema for me Reelemin. I do the late ice Walleye thing, and some Tipup fishin for some Jackfish, and then the river run right up till season closes mid April.

Then comes the head scratchin part.....Hmmmmmm, should I fish for them Sturgeonfish or go after the green and slimeys! Or both in the same day!

Tough problem eh!

The fishing never stops but the targets I chase do. There will be the guys trip to LOTW NWA then comes Slab Fest and at least one more trip to Burntside and throw in some panfish on late ice and before you know it it's Looper time on the north shore and pretty soon it is Walleye opener. The fun never stops

[BigWadeS]

well not sure, that big ol' 5" walleye was quite the, well, laugh anyway! thanks again for the good time on Sunday!

[Neighbor_guy]

Planning a trip to chase some potentialy giant bull sunfish in Feb.

[FrontenacPike]

After the season is over, I'm planning on doing a little de-thawing. Once I regain dexterity in my fingers and toes I'm probably going to grab the yellow pages and look for a good therapist to deal with my ice depression. I'm figuring he should have me cured by opener!!!

[Bulldoggr]

Want to hit LOTW before the ice season is done yet. taking a friend out On Mil lacs that is handicapped. that should be a good time. and hopefully get that trophy Walleye before the Ice season ends.

Thats my plan in a nut shell
