Anyone been out lately? Catching anything, haven't got much chance to get out myself, I'M DYING to do some fishing, Just looking for any reports. Prior lake , spring lake, crystal, orchard , Marion (the dead sea )Carls?
I hit Spring lake for an hour last week, mostly to test out my new prop, spent a little time crappie fishing caught three all about 6 inches, marked a bunch, didn't quite figure them out in a hour and called it a day, In the water at 7:30pm out by 9pm, befoer the rush of people decdied to come in....
I did however have the nicest guy help me out at the launch, seems I'm a tad rusty for a shallow launch like Spring lake, and I was rushing a bit a got a little sloppy on the boat prep.... and nice fellow fisherman help move my truck back for me, and was even kind enough to then park it for me. Nice to meet some class acts out there
Ugh bad day for catching on Spring was tough today, again didn't have much time, really I didn't care all that much either, it was nice to be on the water.
I was out Friday night for a couple of hours on Prior with my little fishing buddy and he certainly showed the old man up(I obviously taught him too well).
After dodging some clowns with 7-8 guys in a boat, we got away to a quiet shorleine and started catching fish.
The irritating part about some of these boats is that they have absolutely no etiquette. I was cut off on more than one trolling pass and had them drive over my line on the last pass longlining raps before I picked up and moved. It's a big lake, do they have to sit right on top of you? I might as well have had them hook onto the D-Ring on the back of my boat and charge a guiding fee.
Anyway, the bite is sporatic but there if you're patient and avoid the circus
Nice, Yeah I tend to avoid prior during the daylight hours if possible for that reason. Been tempted to go out at night, but I wouldn't be on the water until after 11pm sometime, Then I just talk myself into staying home, I know the night bite is decent, but I don't care for fishing at late night alone so much.
Nice report Thanks
I'm going to keep bumping this thread all summer, try to keep it alive with some report we I do get out. Hopefully we can get a bunch more people to join in, It's too bad the lake report are so sparse on here, may it'll help spur some more posts
Well, I can provide a report for Orchard Lake. The weeds out there are incredibly thick and all the way to the surface in water as deep as 8'. With pleasure boaters cruising around plenty too, the weeds are chopped up floating all over the place and just making the shoreline real nasty. I would avoid that lake till these early weeds tone down and its more manageable.
As far as the fishing went, things were rough. I didn't get anything but a few panfish once I gave up and pulled out my microlite. Fished from 5:30-8 Sun afternoon. Air temp: 80º, Water temp: 69º. Started shallow fishing 4' of water with spinnerbaits, chatterbait, Mepps #3 & #4 and a Xcalibur rattlebait. Missed one fish all day and it was shallow. Fished deeper weed edges (sort of... it was really sporadic weeds in deep water) with a DT10 for a while, and also some slightly shallower cranks outside of the weed edge, while the 2 others in the boat kept spinners hitting the shoreline. Ended up giving up on shoreline and the big flat on the NE corner, and tried fishing the 2 submerged islands. Lots of boats hovering around these but I never saw anything but a sunfish pulled off of it. Tried shallow into the reeds with the same stuff (no luck), and threw a shakey head with a skirt grub in 10-17' of water crawled/jigged real slowly and still got nothing. I'm not sure where the fish were Sunday, but I couldn't find em. We fished 75% of the shoreline on that lake and midlake structure as well, so that just got frustrating.
The lake really wasn't much fun, cause no matter what you were using, you somehow would be dragging in weeds (mostly floating/suspended) just wrapped around the line or on hooks. Beautiful day on the water, rough day fishing. I'm curious if the weather Sat night had something to do with the rough fishing. Anyone else experience anything similar?
Did anyone have a chance to get into Marion this weekend or Monday? I'm curious what the water temps out there are and how the deeper weeds are coming along. If its anything like Orchard, the weeds will be going strong, but a much larger lake with alot more traffic may be reacting differently. Who was lucky enough to squeeze into that ramp before it filled up? (man the lines out there are rough!)
I fished Marion Lake last night for a friendly church league, and things were slow but I guess I can't complain too much. I didn't have any luck fishing shallow, but I know a couple guys were catchin fish in 2-3' of water with plastics REAL slow. I didn't end up trying to many presentations, but fairly quickly we found a good pattern. 5:15-6:15 was our magic time period, getting 6 fish 17" to 19.75" in the boat. Every fish came out of a 100' area and off the deep weed edge. We tried several areas of weed edges, drop offs, and inside turns, but only this one spot produced for us. It dropped quickly from 5' to 16' and the weeds end around 10-11' deep. Fish were hitting a shakey head jig, with a skirt grub (watermelon color). Fairly slow presentation, just pulling it and lifting it through the weeds. Fish were very tentative with the baits, after having 3-4 more tugging at it, but not gettin the hooks in their mouth. Was a slow night after 6:30, boating only 1 more dinky fish before 8:30. Pretty much heard the same report as far as when the fish were caught by everyone else as well. Average night for myself getting all good sized fish, but nothing spectacular for sure.
Location: Marion Lake Water temp: 65º Air temp: 58º Weather: Windy & very cloudy Fish: 6 Fish (17-20") 5:15-6:15pm
Most people weren't as lucky as us, but I know not many people were trying slow plastics, and the ones that did got rewarded for it. Good luck out there in this weather!
Nice report! Haven't had a chance to fish Marion (AKA the dead sea) yet this year, more or less I only fish it when I'm short on time and I just want to get out. Seems to be a decent bass lake, but I'm not a bass fisherman, so I call it the dead sea, cause I don't catch much else there but bass, and small sunfish. Though I keep hoping she'll suprise me yet with some walleye or crappie, but I won't hold my breath on that one
Wish I had a little more time and the weather cooperated a little more this week. I'm dying to get out fishing. Thinking about hitting either Spring lake again or maybe trying out Fish lake, if the access looks ok.
Sorry Chris, been offline awhile with some nasty computer problems...
The launch is actually pretty decent right now on Spring I'm able to get in and out without any real issue with my 19' Ranger. As far as the boat launch goes out there, this is probably the best I've encountered in some time, lake level is up a bit and it really helps. Still a bit of a crooked washout, but since the level is up, I don't need to back as far in, and don't get near as crooked. I still keep my motor trimmed way up until I see a good 4' of water, and that a ways from the landing.
Overall it's still the poorest launch in the area....
Has anyone been out hitting Crystal for bass? I'll be out there Tuesday evening hopefully haulin' em in. Curious if its anything like orchard or Marion. Crazy weeds right now?

I was out on Crystal last week, they had two milfoil "cleaners"? tried the bay with little luck, saw a couple but wanted nothing to do with anything. pitched topwater, jerkbaits, spinner baits, worms. . .nothing. . .I did get out about 11 i think it was so I'm sure they had seen a few boats comin through. Had a few "joy riders" fly by my 16' northwoods aluminum with fricken wakeboarders/skiiers comin 15' from my boat, love that. . .so after dealing with a few passes from them and a few other boaters flyin by me I gave up on the lake. they scared me right out of there. As for the weeds, it was starting to get more and more, but not quite a true Crystal weedline.

A guy really needs to invest in a paintball gun........Sherrif won't do a anything about it......
-------------------- Wow, that was really scary and if you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath will certainly get the job done.
I only wish i had one then. . .Well made it back out to Crystal last week with no luck, until we got 7 fish in about 25 minutes before dark. Couldn't get really any fish going right up until the sun was going down. we were in the bay by the launch doin some bassin. Got a few 15-16's, one 19" that was eating well. Then to top off the night, in a foot and a half of water in the milfoil "balls"/weeds my buddy pulls a 15" walleye on a jerk bait out. Definetly didn't expect that coming out of the there. But it was fun finally getting to hammer a few at the end.
Was it a walleye or a sauger? I seen the lake report, reports Sauger being found, and walleye's IIRC were never stocked by the DNR, seems like someone's doing some private stocking...
I'm heading out tomorrow, probably going to fish Spring, maybe Fish, I'll have a report tomorrow night.
Nick, You know I never knew of any sauger in there really or walleye. But now that you say it, I actually did tell my buddy that there was a "sauger spot" on its top back. So yes, you could definetly be right on that. . .I am an avid eye fisherman, definetly not on Crystal though.
Spring was pretty quiet, I spend the afternoon drifting around the lake lindy rigging, and spent some time slip bobbering, with nothing to show for it.
hit spring lake for the first time last wednesday. fishing was slow, but consisted mainly of 6-7" crappies on bright jigs tipped with a lively minnow. not much action on leeches. Fished off the two southern points and did some trolling along the western shoreline with stick baits snaging a few small eyes. Traffic began to pick up a bit with jetskis and tubers so i called it a day after 5 hours.
Was out on Cedar (between prior and new prague) and had success with the panfish. Had the neice along and we were along a weedline on the west side going after some sunnies when i decided to cast a few rapalas out. I threw the line out and hand it to the niece to hold onto it while i bait her line with a worm when all of a sudden she started reeling in and stoped because she couldn't pull the line in, (i was expecting some weeds), but when i grab the rod there was a fish on the line, get it to the boat and to great surprise a 5lb largemouth. That made her day and a few stories to tell at daycare for the 5 year old.
-------------------- Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
I was bass fishing on Marion last Friday afternoon/night and I only caught (1) 10" bucket mouth. I fish shallow and only ended up seeing a total of 3 bass. The ones I saw were sitting under small pacthes of thick weeds hiding from the sun. I fished deep water and still no bass, I did have two northerns follow though. The weeds are getting thick and the water is very high. I have no clue where the bass are on this lake. Going to either Waconia or Pokegama in Pine City this weekend. Good luck everyone. --P.S.-- Water temps are 79+ in the shallow areas and 76+ in deeper water.
Was on Waconia today and it was really slow. We only got one bass in the boat off of the rock levy. We tried different depths, baits, and locations with hardly anything to show for it.
Funny story though, I spotted a bass in the shallows and threw a bomber crank bait at it. It swimmed away but a 12lbs carp took notice and went after the bait. He hit it and it was a fun 5 mins landing him. Kinda strange though.
Best luck for bass I've had on Marion has been fishing the weeds with weighless tubes, I suspect in warmer water deeper is much better, fish the outside of the weededges, with some deep diving cranks, I heard rumors of decent bass caught this way. I've also had the aqua-vu out and running and had multiple bass swimming with the camera in the 12-14 range.
I should note, I'm not a bass fishermen, but if I spend time on Marion, I eventually end up bass fishing because that's all I can find and catch out there
I was on Crystal last Thursday, it was only my second time fishing the lake and it was slow. The weeds are thick and the slime is even thicker. Caught a few bass shallow in real heavy cover on tubes. Didn'y get anything off the deep point. Also tried casting crankbaits, spinnerbaits and bucktails for muskies and northern with no luck. Is anyone fishing in the Pan-o-Prog Bass Tourney on Marion?
Has anyone every fished Byllseby for things other than bullies for cut bait? Going there this weekend with the wife's family for our annual camping trip. Looked at the map on the DNR site, and it's got to bee one of the oddest lakes I've ever seen. Not sure what to expect. I may be selling bull heads on monday from the looks of the last survey.
-------------------- When I'm not fishing I'm on IDO wishing I was fishing.
Oh I think there are some game fish in there, I fished it with Mark Stefes, haven't seen him around in awhile, not sure he's getting much fishing time in. It would be helpful to have GPS and a mapping chip, luckily mark was driving his boat and knows the lake, it's pretty dynamic, I'd be a bit scared without a gps map chip myself, though I'm sure it's 100% doable without. We went cranking for eye's, it was slow and ended up with one nice one. Seen a ton of channel cats. I believe if you searched a little you could find some info on here.
Thanks Nick. I'll see what I can do. I think this will be my 3rd time out this summer. Having a kid it turns out really puts a crimp in the fishing situation in the beginning. Hope I can finally start contributing to this thread.
-------------------- When I'm not fishing I'm on IDO wishing I was fishing.
I'll be hitting Prior Lake (upper mostly) either tonight or tomorrow in case anyone has anything to report there. I'll throw in whatever I can once I get back.

I was hoping to get out today, but it doesn't look likely.
I'd love to hear a current Prior lake report I've been thinking I should head out there one of these nights. I been wanting to night fish proir.
Well, I hit prior last night, sort of a relaxed trip, didn't fish it insanely hard but I did well I'd say (compared to other recent trips). Put 7-8 LM in the boat, 4 of em were 12-13" dinks mostly from shallows, but the other four were bigger (16"+) all coming off rocky points in a little deeper water(dead giveaway ) Best fish was in the 19-20" range, but as I had him at the side of the boat I decided not to just lip him and tried assembling the net and he flopped off right as I got the stupid net up in my hands!
The top water bite seemed be doing OK at first in anything from 1' to 5' of water, but I only had blowups and no hookups. Was very strange, to say the least, especially since I slowed down from a buzzbait to a jitterbug and they STILL weren't getting ahold of it. I've never had the problem whenever the fish are actually going after the baits. Maybe they were just pissed off. :-p
I did catch all the smaller fish on 6" Gander Mountain brand worms (trying out this brand for the first time) wacky style, so that was a blast. The fish weren't really aggressive though while I was using plastics, but that may have just been due to my presentation.
I really just had to adjust to depth to keep my bait near the bottom, wherever I was fishing. The fish were just piled in some places (on the depthfinder at least), and always right on bottom. Most success was casting cranks and the bigger fish loved em. DT10s, Xcalibur XR50 (rattlebait), Shad Rap 7. Just make sure wherever you are fishing, that your bait is running RIGHT near the bottom or top of weeds (if not through them!). If I wasn't bumping something, I wasn't catching fish.
I'll be out there again tonight with a buddy this time (he can net for me ), so hopefully I can give some more good results. I'll be slowing down w/ plastics in some of the places I found to be hot-spots last night.
Oh, and right at dusk was when 4 of my fish were caught. I'd say there was a 30-40 min time period when they just really got hungry. Keep that in mind if you feel the urge to get out of there early. It might be in your best interest to stay until dark!
Well, I hit Prior again last night w/ a friend this time and we did better than the night before, which was expected. 90% of our fish were caught on worms, either shakey head or texas rigged w/ a sinker at the hook. All in all it was a nice steady night. We put just over 20 fish in the boat, average size was probably 14", but we had 6 or so fish just over 16". Nothing huge, but it was a much needed quantity night for both of us. Fished deeper weeds near the rock hazards. Some fish were caught in 6', but the majority were probably around the 9-10' mark.
Definitely hit the obvious mid-lake structure if you're gonna be on that lake, and don't be afraid to switch things up quickly if you don't get a bite. I started w/ a shakey head/skirt grub combo and only got one fish, with minimal bites, but as soon as I tried a worm, texas rigged, the fish just honed right in on it. Nonstop action for the most part, but the fish were VERY tentative, taking the worm slowly and getting to the hook took some patience.
Near dusk, the crankbait bite was on again. Xcalibur XR50 was the ticket for me, putting 4 fish in the boat within probably 10 minutes a short bit after sunset. Those fish were caught over the top of weeds on the shallow part of a rocky hump.
I'll be out there a little more often the way this bite is going. Now I just need to find those 17"+ fish more often. Good luck guys!
Great report, not much of a bass fisherman, but I've spent a little time fishing them, got into some nice numbers before, never found the size myself, though I'm sure there are some nice fish in there.
Well I got out fishing (sort of) FINALY! Went camping at Lake Byllesby with the wife, son, and her Family. I think between the wind and a 5 month old, mainly the wind, I was able to fish for a total of 2 hours in 2 Days.
I'm glad to report that there were fish in the lake. I managed just 2 7" Hybrid Sunnies, that had some of the neatest coloring I had ever seen. looked like a typical green sunnie, but the fins were all whitish, yellow tipped. Hope to have a picture up soon.
Because of the wind taking a boat out wasn't an option for one person this time, I would have been up in the rocks quicker than I could have dropped an anchore. So I was mainly casting from shore. I tried Cranks spinners, and Jigs. I was hoping to be near the camp fire with a bobber and a leech at night, but even after dark there were white caps blowing right at me.
I hope to get back down there some day though looks like an interesting lake to fish. our camp sites were right next to the campground landing, and it sounded like everyone was having the same type of luck, the best report I had was 3 crappies a Walleye, and a Small mouth, The walleye couldn't have been more than 14"
-------------------- When I'm not fishing I'm on IDO wishing I was fishing.
Has anyone been out on Orchard in the last week or 2? The last I saw of that lake was just awful, but that was probably 4-5 weeks ago. I'm wondering what has happened to the weed growth. Everything was so overgrown on my past visit that it was very unenjoyable to fish. Finding fish deep in there yet? I always enjoy fishing the shallows and the 2 mid-lake humps, but I've been getting into deep worming a little more recently. I'll be heading out there tomorrow afternoon, so if anyone's got a heads up for what to be prepared for, that would be great!
No idea really, but the weeds come and go depending on the time of year, they seem to peak earlier on, then taper off. I got one more day of work, and i should be able to get out and fish some
Well, the good news is that the weeds on Orchard have tamed down to a normal level. The bad news is the fish were scattered at best. I think alot of this had to do w/ 82º water temps. Fished the lake pretty hard last night with my church league and I did alright, but alot of guys didn't have the same luck. My boat got 6 fish, 5 of which were over 15", and every single one of them came on worms drug along bottom in 8-12' with good weed cover laying down. Most of the other people that did catch a bass or 2 caught them deeper as well, and only in heavier weed beds. The shallow areas didn't even give us a swirl or hit to speak of. The majority of our fish came out away from the 2 submerged islands, but make sure you don't get out past those weeds. Certain sides of the islands seem to be completely lacking of weed beds once you're out past 8' but other areas are good to 14' (the better bites for me).
One good thing to bring up is that one boat got 3 tigers (32, 35, 37) just cranking over the tops of these same weed beds, and I saw another muskie 3 times swimming w/ its head out of the water just sucking air it seemed. I've heard of it and seen videos, but that was the first time in person. Pretty neat to say the least.
Not a bad time of year to be on this lake, but w/ this recent heat the fish are getting lazy or something. Another guy in our group had been on the lake Sunday night and boated 40ish fish in around 3 hours, so its producing but you've just gotta find the right time I guess. We fished 5-8:30 yesterday, and I know this other fellow fished 8:30pm to 12:00 on Sunday. Good luck! Tight lines
Not too bad at all I have caught a small musky or two out of there, I was tossing swim baits one day and got the crap spooked out of me when I looked down to see a 30+ inch musky darn near within arms reach, I know there in there, I guess I just wasn't expecting to see one, let alone that close.
I was in the boat that caught 3 skis - mine were the 32 and 37. Last Saturday, I caught another 32 and lost another one near 40. Plus, lost a very nice Bass at the boat. I found a nice little transition area in around 18 ft.
Been awhile since I've been able to get out on the local lakes here, but I did get a short chance to fish Marion tonight, IMHO there are three tyoes of fish to fish for in the lake, Bass, Northern Pike and Carp... My 14 year old cousin was in town so we thought we squeeze a quick trip in, Tonight we went for bass.
We got on the water about 8:45pm off by 10pm so we didn't get a real chance to do much else than fish a couple baits on one stretch of shoreline. Tried some Bomber 5A cranks, nothing to show on those, and a white spinner bait with nothing for the effort there either. I ended up switching to the one thing that consistently produces for me, espcially on Marion, a weighless worm (or tube bait), We pitched them up to 3-4 fow and brought it back real slow to the 12-15' or so we were sitting in, we fished a piece of shore with a good break on it, I was marking a good amount of fish under the boat, but didn't fish for them. We ended the night with only 2 bass one a nice healhty 18 incher and another around 14 inches, one fish each . The fish came in about 5-7 fow.
I hope to get the chance to take him out again tomorrow, not totally sure where we'll go yet...
Fished Fish Lake (scott county) Last night, for a couple hours again right before dark, caught a couple bass pitching plastics to the weeds, all small, there appeared to be a fishing tourney of some sorts local weekly club? so I'm sure the fish were a bit pressured, marked a bunch of fish outside the weed edges couldn't get anything to go.
Hah, my church's club (Celebration Church in Lakeville) was fishing Fish Lake on Tuesday. I was actually out of town until late that night, but I know they were out there. Sounded like some guys did well and others really had trouble finding em. Must've had to be pretty deep. Shame I wasn't out there to meet ya.
Cool, Yeah, Don't be shy, Stop by a chat with me. that's my boat in my Avatar (Ranger 190VS Reata), got an "Indepthangling.com" sticker one the windsheild driver's side, not super noticable but it's there.
Anyone planning on gettting out this weekend? Looks like we got a sitter for a couple hours on Sat night, so I'll try and drag the wife out with me, not sure where we'll go yet, Either Prior, Spring or Fish. Open to any suggestions Probably looking more for a panfish or walleye bite, but we'll fish bass too.
Hit up Prior yesterday from 8:30am to 8:30pm to do some bass fishing. Deffinately had quantity and not quality. Managed one 18" and 16" the rest were cookie cutter 8-11 inchers. Finished the day with 64 in the boat. Fished mostly shallow 10 feet and under on Lower Prior. Spent about an hour on Upper and couldn't get much going. We casted all day and didn't troll at all. I know the bigger ones are out deeper off weed breaks, but the guys I took out don't have the opportunity to get out as much as I do. I figured they would enjoy the numbers instead of deep cranks and jiggin on structure. We caught the majority of them on Skitter Pops, DT6's, and Rattle traps. Also got a few on Carolina rigged stick worms (Baby bass color) with red hook. A few on scum frogs and also small jig and plastic combos. All in all a great day on the water with great weather and lots of laughs. Here is the two of the bigger ones and also the smallest
-------------------- Thats why they call it "fishin" and not "catchin".
Killer pic Yeah, I don't fish for bass much, and never spent any real time looking deep for them.
Nice report thanks I'm kind of leaning towards prior, but it all depends on what time we have to get out, if we can get out and stay out late, we'll hit prior, if not we'll shoot for something with less traffic.
Got out to Orchard Lake last night (last league night of the year) and boy was it tough. That cold front we've been having really changed the fish's patterns. Anyways, out of 7 boats I believe only 5 LMB were caught. I actually got the biggest fish at 17" along w/ a little 12.5"er. Pretty slow night altogether obviously, and the only pattern I could come up with was to use a fast and noisy crank. I got that bass and a nice 28" northern on rattlebaits, and the other fish on a chatterbait. All of my action was in 4-8' of water just casting over the drop is sparse weeds. There are still green weeds out there but the algae bloom is AWFUL at the moment. Either way, nothing on plastics, and a couple early misses on a buzzbait in the NE corner shallows. Wish things weren't so slow this week!
I tried every TYPE of bait in my box, from plastic worms, jig-n-pig, buzzbaits, walk-the-dog, frog, spinner, chatterbaits in shallow areas to cranks, dropshot, rattlebaits, and jig-n-pig in the deeper areas near weed edges. Like I said... only one style produced.
Sure is quiet in this thread... Anyone fishing? I haven't had much chance myself, looking like we'll get out tomorrow, we're either going to hit spring or fish. Not sure yet, mostly crappie fishing.
I hit Marion (the dead sea) today, I spent some time dragging jigs around with ringworms and nothing to so or it, I also trolled some cranks for a bit. Weather started to look a bit iffy, so I decided to call it a night, spent about 2 hours or so out there, no fish . Marked a lot of fish, starting in the 15' range, both suspended and on the bottom. Suprised to see water temp almost 70 degrees.
South Metro Lakes
)Carls?
and nice fellow fisherman help move my truck back for me, and was even kind enough to then park it for me. Nice to meet some class acts out there 
Re: South Metro Lakes
I was cut off on more than one trolling pass and had them drive over my line on the last pass longlining raps before I picked up and moved. It's a big lake, do they have to sit right on top of you? I might as well have had them hook onto the D-Ring on the back of my boat and charge a guiding fee. 
they scared me right out of there. As for the weeds, it was starting to get more and more, but not quite a true Crystal weedline.
), so hopefully I can give some more good results. I'll be slowing down w/ plastics in some of the places I found to be hot-spots last night. 
Re: South Metro Lakes
