This goes out to 'tubes' and 'MagicStix', I made it!! So I need some tips for navigating...tubes, any hints? Red Lake is hot for Crappies and walleyes - 2 pints of chubs wasn't enough...over 100 walleyes (no open season, yet but you can't keep 'em from biting), 50 crappies, multiple sheeps...

A sure way to get a bite on a slow day is: Talk about changing spots Prepare another rod while one is out Lay your rod down unsecured Go for a sandwich Start to pull the boat anchor Use the worst fly you own Crack open your first beer Crack open your last beer Take notice of the chick on a...

With the bass season finally open, did anyone have any luck in the lakes or streams of SE Minnesota? I made a very brief attempt at smallie fishing in Oxbow Park just outside of Byron. I didn't have any luck today, but really didn't have the time to focus my effort either. It was just good to get...

Just wondering if a minnesota river forum has been considered. I live about 20 miles from the start of the minnesota, and only about 10 miles from the river as the eagle flys. There are plenty of things to talk about when it comes the minnesota river. It is getting to be better and better every...

I just saw the 12 lb. walleye caught by Mike Lentz of Lakeville on the channel 5 news... That name really sounded familiar... Photo looked familiar too.. Wow, nice fish. Congrats Mike! http://anglerinsider.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=65 What pool were you fishing Mike?

Which part of the state holds the next MN State Record bass?

Was wondering if there were going to be any regional forums on this site? For instance, Alex area, Willmar/Spicer area, etc.?

Just if you weren't pumped enough about the opener this weekend here is the official Opening Day theme song from Rapala. Good Luck to All! http://news.rapala.com/Promo-2005-05-11/

For anyone who is considering Leech Lake for the opener this year, I asked a good friend of mine who owns a cabin there for a pre-season scouting report. Dave is one of the best fishermen I know so pay attention if you're planning to fish Leech. His comments follow: Hi Steve, I'll be glad to...

Many of Minnesota's public access facilities are in need of repair and money is not available to do the work. There is a bill in the state legislature (House of Representatives) to provide the necessary funds. Please write, call or email any or all of the following Legislators in support of a...

There are some new games in the Arcade, just remember to take a break every once in awhile and come bs on the forums with us ;) Man those games can be addicting... I don't know how some of you manage the scores you do :eek: http://anglerinsider.com/forum/arcade.php?

Still looking for a few more teams for the Metro Fishing League. This is a bass/walleye/pike league. Should be great fishing all year (Tonka, Waconia, Marion, and Clearwater). All top notch multi-species lakes. You would be surprised at how much you'll pick up and improve as an angler by...

So where is the hot walleye bite for next weekend guys? Sounds like a lot of guys heading up to Winnie - that always seems to be good this time of year.. Mille Lacs is a good close trip. Wright County area has some great walleye lakes... hmmmm... too many choices in MN.. What about the...

Happy Birthday Magic Stiks!

Hey guys it's getting to be that time of year again when it's actually nice to get out and spend some time outdoors. I have found that a great and inexpensive way to take the family out and try some new fishing areas is to actually camp them. Several lakes outside the metro areas have resorts or...

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion is on harvesting spawning panfish in the spring. I love to fish crappies when there in shallow, but i almost feel bad keeping them because it isn't really a challenge. This year with the warm weather it is going to be prime time for crappies/sunnies...

Hello fello angler insiders! Nice to have a new and alternative site to chat about our favorite things to do! Look forward in talking to all of ya! Later :D

Anyone else have to miss the opener like I do? I have a baseball tourney I have to coach in......sunday looks promising though.

Was wondering if anyone made it to Big Stone for the borders opener and how was the fishing? I managed to make it there by midnight Fri. night and fished for about 4 1/2 hours without a single bite. Everyone that I talked to that was out fishing that morning said it was really bad. I'm not sure if...
