Hi Hckystud,

If you are shore bound, your bass fishing options are pretty limited for the N St. Paul area. I will however provide a few suggestions although they are not all in N St. Paul. If you have access to to a boat these lakes are fairly close and should offer good bass fishing; White Bear Lake(large and Smallmouth bass), Sliver(Not a numbers lake but should have good size), DeMontreville, Olson and Jane. If you are shore bound then try these lakes; Lost (in Mahtomedi) and Beaver. Most lakes in the Metro area have Largemouth bass populations and can provide good fishing at times. If you have any other questions please feel free to give me a call.

Hi Dank,

Sorry for the late reply but I recently have logged on as an active member of the IDO community. Check out this link for shore fishing opportunities in Hennepin county. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing/fin/index.html
Most of the lakes listed are managed for shore anglers such as yourself. The lakes listed have a fair amount of information about them that will help shore fisherman get on fish. Some of the info provided includes, the types of fish found in each lake, lake survey information and amenities such as rest rooms and playgrounds for when the kids have had enough fishing. If you have any questions please give me a call.
