Chatting about the opener, showing off some new rod/reel setups, and recapping another great week on the water.

Water temps are finally warming – and staying that way. Crappies are moving up and the bite continues to get better. And a look at the Minnesota Fishing Opener.

Crappie action improves a lot in last week. A look at Minnesota’s statewide fishing report ahead of the May 13 opener.

For the opener, most anglers will be going after the walleyes anchored up and vertically jigging with a jig and minnow along the south shore of Lake of the Woods.

Last weekend’s wind did a number on ice across northern Minnesota. A look at the statewide fishing report for May 3, 2023.

Various reports of pike in the bays. Most bays are now open or almost open for open water pike anglers.

Finding some biting fish, just not where we might want them. Crappies are snapping, water temps are cold, but we’re going to finally see a warm-up.

Ice is still holding on throughout much of the state. A look at the statewide fishing and hunting report across Minnesota for April 26, 2023.

Baits for pike this time of year – a live minnow under a bobber, dead minnows laying on the bottom, slow moving spoons, spinner baits and crankbaits.
