    So now that we have ice across most of Minnesota I was thinking of something fun to do. Access to lakes is made pretty easy these days and with thousands of lakes why not try some out.

    I was thinking maybe 10 lakes in ten hours? Something that would be challenging but fun at the same time. Any other ideas on doing something similar? I think it would be fun to see if a person could catch fish on all ten lakes in that amount of time.

    That’s crazy we used to do a 5 lakes in 4 days trip in March.

    Depending on the lake, you could have 10 different sub-ecosystems within 1 lake. I would rather check them all out and know 1 lake thoroughly before moving to the next.

    I think the best way to do it is get in an area with a bunch of small lakes and hop on your snowmobile or atv with portable in tow and just pop from lake to lake.

    I’ve done 5 lakes in a day on snowmobile and fished multiple spots on each lake but 10 would be A LOT! I think it could make for a fun day and it’s obviously about more than just catching fish.

    I,m with Randy on this one. I fish some big water and it,s impossible to cover in a week let alone a day.
