    I am taking Monday off to give it a go for a November Sklunge somewhere w/in a hour of the metro and am open to suggestion because I haven’t connected with anything the last 4 times out. I am thinking about Rush, the St. Croix, Forest or WBL. What do you guys think? All 4 have pretty decent bigger fish possiblities. Thanks

    The Pond is only 45 minutes from Elk River

    I am looking at all three webcams from the Pond right now and that’s something I would really consider right now!!! Especially if your boat can handle some wind…

    Stay away from the Croix there aren’t any Muskies in that river

    If it isn’t too windy the pond might be a good call. However, it has kicked my butt the last few times out. Like 0 follows in the last 3 or 4 trips.

    Well, due to the extreme winds we decided against Mille Lacs. My dad and I fished Rush from 10-5 and I had 2 follows to show for it. One was a very nice fish 46-48″ range. Both follows were on magnum bulldawgs. Water temp varied from 45-47 degrees. Dispite the wind and lack of fish, a day on the water with my dad is waaaaaay better than a day at work. This should be a good week for those lucky enough to get out! Good luck!

    Yep. We put in on West Rush and the docks were out. The water was a lot clearer than I expected, which was kind of nice.

    Eagle Lake here in Hennepin Co has some pretty awesome muskie fishing I hear… one of my neighbors a block or two over fishes there when he’s not at the cabin up on the Red River and he’s had good things to say, and a few other guys I know fish Eagle for pannies and bass but have (almost literally) bumped into a monstersaurus from time to time.

    If anyone wants to hit it, let me know… I don’t have a boat, but I have some really good jokes and a decent bait budget.
