A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Wow Windy spring days are expected each year. You could say it's a right of passage most anywhere in the country. Pegs the winds today at 3o mph with gusting winds reaching 41 mph. That's the type of wind that becomes dangerous on the lake. A few years back I caught a 5.5 pound walleye out at Buckmaster Bridge with a stiff wind in my face. I also watched my buddy...The f...

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Friday, May 14, 2010. As I sit here to type out a few thoughts, the fishing opener is three minutes old. And while there is still a short-night's rest for this angler before I test out the 2010 fishing opener, I'm breathing a little easier. It's pretty simple. e-mail Tanner. Until then, good luck, and may the fishing gods work in your favor. Labels: largemouth panfish anfish. In terms of family...

Bass Connection: Some observations from a morning of fishing
http://mankatofreepressfishing.blogspot.com/2010/07/some-observations-from-morning-of.html
A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Thursday, July 15, 2010. Some observations from a morning of fishing. There's always a few things to observe on an early-morning trip to the lake. Pulling up at Buckmaster Bridge at Madison Lake early Thursday morning, I noticed how calm the water was. The wildlife was the only thing giving off sound, which I found to my liking because this meant I owned that little spot by myself. They looked ...

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Monday, April 26, 2010. Well, it's that time of year again. The angling license you bought for the 2009 season will expire on Friday. While it's hard to imagine many anglers will forget abbout the April 30 expiration — this is only the second year since the angling license expiration moved from February to April — stranger things have happened. You can renew online or find a list of licensed.

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Most invasive species of all? About two northern Minnesota minnow-farmers breaking the golden rules of invasive-species management got me thinking. In this case (which was widely reported in the media) a pair of licensed minnow-farmers used equipment from Lake of the Woods - which had possibly been infected by the lake's invasive species, such as the spiny waterflea.

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Friday, July 16, 2010. Your weekend fishing report. Sunfish action is the big draw on area lakes right now. Madison Lake continues to kick out sunfish in roughly 8 feet, and bass action remains strong along the shorelines and in weedlines under 10 feet of water. Bass action on Little Jeff remains strong along docks and overgrown shorelines. Concentrate on weedlines in 5 feet. River action is sl...

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Saturday, July 3, 2010. Well, I told you John Cross had something up his sleeve for the Belle Plaine Cat League in Sunday's print edition of The Free Press. He went out with a couple of the guys from the league and what he came away with was some pretty good stuff. I've never caught anything over about a 5-pound catfish, so seeing a guy hoist a 40-plus pound cat. Check out his audio slideshow.

Bass Connection: The tale of three bass
http://mankatofreepressfishing.blogspot.com/2010/06/tale-of-three-bass.html
A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. The tale of three bass. The bass action on area lakes has been excellent, to say the least. If it hasn't been excellent, then you're probably not fishing for lunkers anyhow. I've caught my fair share of largemouths already this year, but three of the bass I've caught, from three different lakes, have boggled my mind, slightly. Well, Monday I took to the shores of Lura Lak...

A laid-back take on fishing in south-central Minnesota by a self-proclaimed bass addict. About Doug and Tanner. Friday, May 28, 2010. Well, my friends, bass opener is almost upon, which to me means summer is almost truly upon us. I have a few places mapped out for Saturday's opener, but the place I'm most looking forward to is Lake Ballantyne, mostly because I will be fishing with a friend who has never caught a bass before, but is awfully excited to get after 'em. Taking this approach might make your da...
