I'm just curious to see how we all did over the weekend.

I went down to the river for about 45 minutes and hooked into one muskie and a few smallies. I wasn't catching anything legal, so I went home to spend some time with Mom.

I did get up to Mille Lacs Friday and Saturday; we caught seven fish, two of which we kept. It was pretty miserable out there yesterday, but it sure was nice to be out fishing!!!

well fished a lake south of st. Cloud the whole weekend...ran into lots of nice smallmouth....17-19 inches with a couple right at 20 and one at 21 and a half inches 6.5 lbs wat a fish...found a few walleyes 15-18 inches fished from 7-12 saturday 4 people and it was 4 walleyes and proably 40 smallmouth....just could not believe the smallmouth fishing, sure glad the season is not open outherwise i think some people would be buchering these bigs hogs..but otherwise good weekend cant wait to finish up school and get back into the state of MN and FISH!!!!

I fished the horseshoe chain on sat evening in the rain for 2 hrs. and picked up 4 between 15 and 16 inches. Sunday, went out from 2-5 and got three, biggest 23.5 inches the others two were 15 and 16 inches. All and all pretty slow, but nice to be back on the water...

Really slow for me. I fished Grand from 8-11 Sun. and didn't get any hits. I talked to one guy that fished it Sat. with nothing to show either. The water temp was around 49.

I would love to discuss more with you.

Judging by the lack of replies, I'm not alone in saying I didn't do well.

Rice was very stained, and slow. I've not seen it that brown ever before. Green in the summer, yes, but brown at opener...no. Tried cranks, jigs, slip bobbering, but no pattern emerged.

I was out there sat. and sun. sat. was slow till 6:00pm three of us caught 15 most were 15 to 18" caught three big ones 23",22" and a 19 7/8.sunday caught three more with one at 23" but it was alot of work to get those.

I'm happy but I've been on the river

We finally had a little action last night pulling cranks on Grand. Sand and warmer water. Caught two right at dark in 4', thought we were really going to get into them and got skunked the rest of the night. Better than nothing!
