We just leave things unlocked all day long and have no problems. Minnesota people and fishermen are good honest people.

Panfish are definitely fun to catch. They put on a good fight and then most of the time they are too small but it's still a blast. I dont waste too much time going for the big toothy fish because I'm out there to have fun and catch whatever is biting. I usually end up catching a pike or two during that time but I mostly target the panfish.

@ndyakangler6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Ryan! I mostly fish the western part of the state but there’s no shortage of water to fish no matter where you are in MN. I’d check out google maps and find some lakes close to you, then look those lakes up on the MN DNRs Lakefinder website. There’s tons of good info on lakes there including maps and DNR test net results so you can see the species, size, and numbers of fish they sampled. That’s how I go about looking for new water to fish. There should be fish biting just about everywhere now though, bass and panfish are getting ready to spawn so they’ll be in shallow water. There’s also a couple groups on Facebook you can check out if you’re on there, “Fishing Minnesota” is where a lot of people post reports and if you have a kayak check out the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association. A lot of that groups members are from the cities and they meet up and fish often.

I envy you that you're able to hit MN and ND waters for great fishing. I will be up in MN for 2 weeks at the end of July. In your vid, was there any structure the crappie were laying down by, or just off the reed/grass? Surprised no northerns came in for an easy meal, that is if there are northerns in that lake. As always, another great video! I am always looking forward to your vids!
@ndyakangler6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jonas! There wasn’t any structure other than the dead cattails and reeds from last year. Crappies like to spawn around those. I think that one spot was holding the majority of them because it was closest to deep water and the wind was blowing directly into it. I did some stand up paddling around the shallows yesterday and saw several nice pike and a ton of crappies about a foot deep in some of the thickest reeds out there. Lots of big ones but the weeds were too thick to try to work anything in there with my 4lb line.

@ndyakangler6 жыл бұрын
It’s never too late to fish crappies, you’d probably just have to look a little deeper now that they’re likely done spawning up shallow. Some lakes do have a ton of small ones and that can stunt the population. Sometimes only a certain area of the lake seems to attract the big ones. I noticed that at this lake when I went back a couple weeks ago. Little ones everywhere but a couple points seemed to hold all the 11-14” fish.
