Go get those crappies! Snow is melting and that means the masses of Crappies and Bluegills will be getting closer to shallower water. For now I have been finding fish in a variety of depths, but for the most part in the 12-20 ft. range where they have been most of the winter. There is […]

The fish on the shallower lakes are showing some signs of low oxygen levels so concentrate your efforts on the […]
More snow is good for fishing too, this week’s Minnesota Fishing Guide Service’s Report tells us why… New snow has put the blinders on the fish making it nice and dark under the ice. The mid-day Pike bite has been good. All sizes are starting to feed aggressively due to spawning time in a few […]
