Fishing here has gone downhill big time. Beautiful lake though!

All these metro lakes are crowded and overfished lately in my opinion. The DNR FiN program is getting bad. They can’t keep up with stocking, don’t stock a lot fo the FiN lakes anymore. Especially, in the east metro. East metro still has some nice smaller good shore fishing lakes with piers. But, unless you have a boat, pier fishing leaves a lot to be desired in the metro area. DNR complains they don’t have enough help……..HIRE PEOPLE! Plenty of money with that $19 billion surplus!!! Minnesotans need to start complaining! We should have the best FiN program in the country.

Big Marine huge bass!

Thanks guys!
We hit Big Marine fishing pier this evening! Pier was way too crowded, usually it’s dead. But they all cleared out and we stayed until dark. My friend hit a huge northern on a leech lol but broke the line. I swear right around 830 ish the bass start biting! Pulled in 3 nice size largies. Kids had a blast! I bet the boat fishing is great!! So far Big Marine is our fav in the area. Pulled in 2 nice sized flatheads Monday night.
