anyone knows of any good lake to fish in early morning? It's seem like that would be best time cause not too much people out that early. any info would help.

Where are you located?

Nice eye Andy.

Thanks guys!


LOL! I like you mention its like deer hunting! There is more truth to that then you would think. Found this guy right along the shore from one of my favorite perch spot on Waubay Lake last year! Talk about a sweet find!!!

Team Otter,

Am in the metro area, I wouldn't mind driving out hour to hour an a half out. Man...them walleye are hard to caught. Well, after all this is my first year on ice ever. But it's been great am loving every moment of it. It seem like I can't get enought of it. Well, thanks for your help Team Otter.

Andy, you must have had a bad hit last fall. At least you got the rack.

Haha! If he would have put himself within reasonable distance of me he'd have been on his way to the taxidermist long before this pic was taken! lol

This is a tough time of the year to catch 'eyes through the ice but it can be done. Keep your presentation simple and be quiet on the ice. Often times, the little things this time of year really shine. As for what lakes to try, boy, the list is endless. If you're willing to drive an hour, I would try Madison, Jefferson or Frances. But, you have some darn good opportunities right out your back door in Minnetonka, Harriet and Calhoun, just to name a few.

Good luck!

p.s. Andy, cool "find" on the deer. Thanks for sharing.

Ya slow and steady seems to be the way of the year. Fish Fish Fish that's the goal for making it great in 08

That 28"er is absolutly huge! How much did that pig weigh. All those fish look really healthy. WTG!

There aren't any fish in Le Sueur County...

Oh there all still swimming!!!

I didn't get an actual weight I put it on a scale and it was bouncing back between 9.5 and 10 but I didnt want to wait for the actual weight as I am more concerned with getting them back as quickly as possible, that one deserved a photo though.

Has anyone been catching any decent eyes around the St. Cloud area?

Bucholz, check out the St. Cloud forum. There are usually a lot of guys keeping that up to date.

I finally got a eye tonight. I'll post the pic tomorrow.

i live in st paul and have always heard harriet was a good walleye lake. good is relavent though! ive only fished it a couple of times and scuba dove there a couple times. there used to be a guy at work that fished it in the summer for walleye and did pretty well. that was a while ago. i have no idea what kind of cycle that lake is on or where to fish. it sure would be nice to find a place close by, but then everyone would be there...
