I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important but because so many other concerns of man are equally unimportant and not nearly as much fun.
Is it hunting season yet?

Born and raised in St.Paul.
Most of my outdoor activities involve me staring down a hole standing on a ice cube.

Great idea BK. I'm from Bismarck ND originally then was on the road in a band. Ended up in Omaha for a couple of years, back to Bismarck and then made the move to the cities. I lived in Eagan for a year and then bought my shack in St. Paul. Apparently I bought it about a mile away from Jethro80!   |

Oh Lord,
There he is.
Feels like a big one.
Please don't let me lose him.
I've never caught one this big before.
I'll try not to horse him.
And if I land him I promise to release him
And make a graphite replica...
If my wife says it okay.
Thank you for the Rapalas.
Amen.

You are correct sir. I love fishing Candy Cove first ice. Lots of really nice sunnies and crappies plus some nice walleyes mixed in.

Grew up in Eagan, and then moved to Rosemount. I am down in Mankato for school (I like it better down here, just hope I can get a job down here after a graduate). Parents still live in Rosemount so Im up there everyother weekend or so.

I'm from Burnsville. My usual fishing grounds include Crystal, Orchard, Carls, and sometimes Prior in the winter.
I'm a freshman down at Iowa State right now, but cant wait to come home on breaks and get some fishing in.
Ace, wanna hit carls or prior sometime this winter?

We went to Carls one time, and you would have thought we were trespassing on private property.
We didn't catch anything and got out of there really quick.

Carl's is a interesting lake I fish it all the time in the winter. Size wise the crappies run on the small side but are tasty. The Pike also run on the small side but there is the chance at a decent one. Walleye's are in there but they are tricky fish to get out there but they are there and they are big.
