Annandale-Buffalo-Big lake
June 25, 2009
Went out to Lake Ann in Sherburne County this afternoon and had some good luck with Crappies, the biggest at 11 inches. Threw them all back though. Two nights ago me and a buddy hit Eagle Lake near Big Lake and had okay luck with some small northerns and crappies and one nice Largmouth.

Bemidji Area
June 25, 2009
Fishing has been steadily picking up in the Bemidji area. I've been out everyday for the last two weeks. Fish on Bemidji have been scattered in just about every depth possible. I've caught them in 4ft-40ft. The shoreline breaks are holding plenty of fish, with my best two bites coming off the south end of the pines and off Reese's(sp) point. If you have the lakemaster chip, there are quite a few fish up around mandy's bar on the north side.

Well,I managed a couple small 12 inch walleyes last night in 30 feet of water pulling a leech. I started out with the crawler to no avail. I marked quite a few fish in the 25-30feet range, maybe I should have gone with the chubs. Next time!

Cass Lake
June 25, 2009
Cass is starting to pick up quite well now. Where most people had been fishing walleyes in Andrusia and Kitchie, there are more and more boats showing up on the main lake. The breaks and holes in the flats are holding walleyes in depths ranging from 12ft to 30ft. Jigs and minnows are still working with the leech bite picking up. The Crawler bite is also picking up. Crawlers however on a lake like Cass will bring you just as many(and sometimes more) perch bites as walleye bites.

A beautiful week of summer weather is taking its toll on anglers this past week. Sweatshirts have given way to shorts and tank tops. Sun lotion and bug repellent have become a necessity as does lively bait.

Deer River-Marcell
June 25, 2009
With the weather warming up this week we finally had a week where we can take off the ice armor and get into some shorts. I fished Sand and bowstring this last week and a day on Pokegama. The fish have moved deeper in both those lakes down to the first drop to the main lake basin and the humps. I have stilll been using jig and minnow and I have been able to get away with a 1/8 oz since we havent had much wind.

Marked suspended fish in 25+ feet. Ran a "Wolf River Rig" 3 way swivel. Ran a 3 foot dropper with a 8 foot leader to a large colorado spinner with a lot of thump. Night crawlers were the ticket but I had to have at least 2 hooks on the spinner. First hook never was in their mouths.

The river temps have climbed some this past week, and the flathead bite I would expect to turn on this week with the warmer weather. I was out last night and had several good runs, but I couldn't set the hook into any of them.

We didnt do that good...only 11 walleye and a few crappies. Hey where did you catch that 28 incher? I saw a guy next to me get a 28 on ottertail opening night and was wondering if maybe it was the same guy that would be kinda ironic.

Anyone who thought the the April run was slow, which was most of us, should have been here the past three days. A buddy of mine and I fished from Silver Creek to Timbermill landing and boated 192 walleyes with ten over 28" and a ton of them in the 24" to 27" class.

Rain fall continues to be quite timely for this area, although more wouldn't hurt but there was still plenty of opportunity to get out and fish this past week. And the walleyes are definitely biting.

St. Croix River
June 25, 2009
St. Croix River fishing is looking good, and shaping up into its fine summer time form with multi specie fin friends looking to tug on the line. First I’ll talk about the river conditions, the Croix is clearer now than I can remember, clearer than previously discussed a few weeks ago. Despite the recent rains the water level is not going to budge and is staying firmly put at 675.5 feet above sea level

Lake Vermilion
June 25, 2009
My wife and I have just returned from 3 wonnderful weeks on Lake Vermilion. We arrived 5/30 and left 6/19. The first week of our trip was as cold as I can remember in recent history. I'm sure the season opener was much colder but early June lows in the mid 30's and highs in the upper 40's is plenty chilly. The first two weeks of the trip was pretty much a minnow bite. We caught the occasional walleye on a leech but the leech fishing was mainly a dock thing. On June 13 the whole thing changed for us and leeches became our bait of choice.

A buddy and I hit Winnie at the crack of dawn yesterday morning. We tried the weeds east of Tamarack Pt. and had a few bites w/ jig/minnow, but weren't impressed. We headed out to the north humps and immediately I had a 22" crush my blue spinner/leech combo.
