Minnesota Fishing

A great lake in Minnesota to go Ice Fishing!?

I live in Minnesota and I would like to know if anyone knows of good lakes to ice fish on with big crappies,walleye???

There’s a reason they call Minnesota the “Land-O-Lakes” and the “10,000 Lakes” referred to on their license plates is a conservative estimate. There are literally hundreds of accessible fishing lakes in some counties alone. Great fishing abounds and people come from all over the world to partake in the pleasure of piscatorial pursuit. You seem to have little clue as to just how lucky you are. If I were you, I would simply go to my nearest bait and tackle dealer. (They are almost as common as lakes in Minnesota.) Any bait dealer knows from day to day who’s catching what, where, and on what bait or lure. Also, be aware that crappie are one of the fish that grow in cycles. A fish of trophy size is an older fish….perhaps 4 to 6 years old. When there have been record catches during any given season on a given lake, the big fish may not come around again for as many years. It isn’t a situation where the jumbo’s exist year ’round and can be caught at all times of the season in every lake that hosts crappies. Walleye on the other hand continue to grow throughout their lifetime and where ever you can find walleye, you can find an occasional trophy fish. Usually, the bigger the water, the better chance you’ll have for knowing there are big fish in it. The problem with that is that the bigger the water gets, the harder time you will have of pinpointing just where in the heck of all that water the fish happen to be at the moment you go looking for them. You can just about look at the map of your area and see where the best looking lakes are. Crappie and Walleye can almost always be found in the same water. If you can’t find one, look for the other. I’ll betcha you will find them if you do a little persistent searching. I’d start that search at my bait and tackle dealer closest to the lakes you choose to fish. Good luck.
