Outfitter17 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have only fished one and it was lake waconia, small and lots of milfoil, but we boated a few skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjac Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 White Bear in late Fall. 3000+ acres, and the recreational traffic is done by that point. Lots of structure, so you can try a few totally different techniques. I've seen a few big fish out there too....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoBox Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 What Cjac said ^^^-- but after dark - there is even less recreational traffic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuKiddingMe Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Forest - but that's because it's the one I know best. I enjoy WBL and BE, and intend to get to know them better now that I have my own ride.RU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lare Pie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Each lake has its peak times and they are at different times of the season. I fish all that were mentioned above, at different times of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterhouse Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 White Bear in late summer and fall. St. croix in the late fall. And a few Tiger lakes when I'm to lazy to drive. Opps I almost forgot about French. Some nice options in the metro.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel9921 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Quack... nope its not Mille Lacs... You know which lake it is... and its best that it stays Lake X for now... Porter... I dont consider French to be part of metro... Faribault is a good 35 min drive south from Bloomington which where I live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Apple Valley. French is about 30 miles from my house, White Bear is 32 miles from my house, Forest is 50 miles, and Waconia is around 35 miles. I'm kind of stuck in the middle.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonefish Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Porter, I live in apple valley as well and know what it's like to be "stuck in the middle" I just started fishing in this area and I need a little advice. If you have a chance, I'd appreciate it if you could give me your email address, I'd like to ask you a couple questions about a few lakes in our area.
