Members Daze Off Posted January 8, 2007 Members Posted January 8, 2007 Although I now live in the Twin Cities in MN I spent years in Lee's Summit area and fished a lot when I was down that way. Mostly crappies at the time but have become primarily a bass fisherman - go figure. Belonged to a BASS club for a few years and learned a huge amount about the sport and have become addicted. The wife tells me to go fishing not only on my "days off" but also to get the "daze" out of my eyes that forms when I don't get to fish for a period of time. Hope to learn more from reading posts and adding my 2 cents when I think I might have something to contribute. Coming down to Table Rock again in April for a week of fishing because I can't stand the wait until we can fish for bass again up here. Daze Off

RiverRunner Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Minnesota has some great bass fishing I hear, both bronzebacks and largemouths, I'd sure like to check it out one of these days.
Terry Beeson Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Welcome to the forum. Yep, I'd like to come up there and check that out as well. Hey, RR... Talk to Fred Wiseman (NEAFF member) about fishing up in that area...

Members Daze Off Posted January 9, 2007 Author Members Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks for the responses. Anytime you would like to come up to the great frozen tundra I could point you to some fish of either the brown or green color. I live next to some world class smallmouth fishing on the upper Mississippi and also the Rum River which flows from Lake Mille Lacs to the 'Sippi. Mille Lacs is also a smallie bonanza. Maybe the best LM lake in the state is Minnetonka which is jsut west of the metro area. Have to warn you though if you come up here - prepare to fish in WEEDS and lots of them - at least for the LM's. Also, we have a "season" up here - you can't fish for bass of any kind until somewhere around Memorial Day each year. Daze Off
Terry Beeson Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Fishing season? BAH! HUMBUG! Never Heared of it...

Members Growler Posted January 9, 2007 Members Posted January 9, 2007 We like to go north of Grand Rapids & fish for those toothy critters. Always get a few of those big football shaped Largemouths in doing so. Welcome G
