Up at my new place on Rainy Lake. Never fished open water there before so not sure of presentation, imagine rigging.

Working as Mothers Day falls on the opener again.
I will be on Gull Lake Wed and Thurs after opener.April 25, 2007 at 11:33 pm #564750You guys can have that lake at midnight. I’ll be at D’s talkin with the locals. Actually the wife doesn’t fly in until 10, so I probably won’t be getting to the lake until well into the morning.
April 26, 2007 at 1:13 am #564818Going to red, gotta catch some before the natives get them all!
rigging, jigging, slip-bobbering

jhalfenPosts: 4179April 26, 2007 at 11:53 am #564980We enjoy fishing on a small lake south of Alexandria for opener every year…it’s only 15 days away!
April 26, 2007 at 7:38 pm #565211If luck has it, i’ll be up on Mille Lacs watching the bobber on the SE rocks.
Otherwise, will probably be up in Alex with the lil bro.
Have to finalize the arrangements this weekend
**only 15 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes, 1 second and counting!
April 27, 2007 at 4:34 pm #565564Gonna shift gears this year…
I’ve waited for many years to start the tradition of fishing with my kids on opener. Opening day will be spent with the kids chasing bluegills or crappies in the Chisago area
Then I’ll try to take a day off later during the week and hit the St. Louis or Mille Lacs
Good luck to all!

April 27, 2007 at 5:09 pm #565573Madison chain. Probably Monona for skis and then Mendota for eyes. I am not very good at either but what the hay.
April 27, 2007 at 9:54 pm #565698One of my best friends is getting married in Winona and the reception is at Holmen. I therfore am draggin’ the boat to Trempeauleau!!! I ain’t missing the opener for a wedding, so look out P7. Then back home to work over Trout Lake & and the Flambeau Chain. Some of the smaller lakes could be on the post spawn feed with the water temps here. The big lakes will be in the spawn.
