Welcome to FM Lucky!

I dont fish them at all, but im sure there is going to be some people here that will be able to help you out.

lucky,
just bought a place on the chain and the last 2 years fished in your neck of the woods(green and nest) for sunfish. will be out the next week trying to find them, and will keep you posted. although you might want to rethink, went out last night off my dock and made 3 casts and caught 3 kitties in 1/2 hour. a 3,5,9 pounder, what a blast on light gear!

have had good luck on ceder island ,becker and schnieder other years but last year really had to look for them, but once you found them, it was a blast.. Green has nice fish if you can find them, nest is alright but north long diamond and norway are good

Rookie do you spear and fish bass, By your name it sounds like it
I used to spear but now with the crazy slot on northerns I have not been out

you shoudl get out to other lakes and spear it. Spearing is to much fun not to do it

lucky,
went out yesterday for some panfish and had some luck on deeper weedlines on bolfing and schnieder. not used to "river" fishing so stuck with more lake environments. nice thing was that at least was able to fish this weekend, would have been blown off of green. no, have never gone spearing, not to sound like a wussie, but that usually means there is ice on the lake, which means it is really cold which means i am cold.

does anyone have any thoughts on what size hooks to use for cats in the 5 to 10 lb range, i guess that goes for bait as well. have been using #4 and a larger 3/0 with a 9 inch or so dead sucker. had a problem hook setting last night ended up with a lot of heads of the minnows.

try the north end of the channel going into schniedre at the drop and on the point to the left at the edge of the weeds thanks for the info.this cooler weather should turn the bite on

any action on the panfish on the chain this past week, will be up thursday and want to take some rookies out for a good trip

what are the good spots on the chain for panfish ..Iknow you central minnesotans fish them

i dont get out there much to fish pan. I fish bass out there a ton, so i cant really help you out.
