Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
Tgis happens every year near the end of ice fishing season. I get really anxious to get back out on the lake and hook a big one. Anyone else anxious for it?

I can think of nothing more boring than fishing, except maybe watching paint dry.Allenfreak69 wrote:Tgis happens every year near the end of ice fishing season. I get really anxious to get back out on the lake and hook a big one. Anyone else anxious for it?

However, I am anxious for baseball season to start.

Re: Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
Have you ever tried it and actually caught a decent sized fish? If not then you should give ut another try. It just gets my adreniline going when i hook a 20lb fish or more. (i fish for pike and muskie mainly.) as for the baseball season i am anxious for that as well. I am a pretty big twins fan as well.

Re: Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
Nothing wrong with fishing, thousands of people love it but I am not one. I like tearing it up on some skis in the water, on a tube, flying around in my speedboat or carving it up on the jet-ski. Everyones different so whatever floats your boat...*groan*Allenfreak69 wrote:Have you ever tried it and actually caught a decent sized fish? If not then you should give ut another try.

I've been out ice fishing several times so I'm not quite as anxious as some. Although I'm anxious enough to want to get the boat out.

Being from Texas, I have been killing the catfish the last few weekends. I should be back up to "the land of ice and snow" around July. Can not beat fishing in Texas in the spring. Fishing and and the Vikes thats what I do.

Re: Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
I mainly catfish here in Texas, some Sandbass and Crappie though. When I go up to Brainerd MN area I will mainly fish for Pike & Walleye, last year we cleaned up on Crappie. The last few seasons I have been trying to get my first Musky with no luck. I just like to fish anything that will take a hook, even tried bow fishing for Gar couple times.

Re: Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
I cant wait for fishing. Glad to see the slot and bag limit upped a little on Upper Red Lake after June15th, early you catch all the fish you want, 90% of them were in the slot, going to 20inches will help a lot. I HATE SPRING, friggin muddy and wet.

Re: Anyone else anxious for the fishing opener?
no kidding. Its the worst season of the year imo. The walleye slot will help the population a bunch. Out on Green lake near wilmar, They had decent largemouth fishing but then they put a 21 in. slot on them. Now thats the best laremouth spot that i fish. Every time i head up there i get at least 1 5lb largie. The pike are also very good there. I caught 2 10 ponders in the same day.purple guy wrote:I cant wait for fishing.
