Hi! My name's Mark...new to this site, but an ol' well-seasoned fisherman. Live in southern Minny, but ice fish mainly up at White Bear Lake and Centerville area during winter season, with an occasional trip to Pepin for walleyes. I soft water fish at Lake Pepin in Lake City, and also on the Zumbro River by Oronoco, Mn. for crappies/stripers. Still do the McGregor area tournament the 1st week of June at Lake Minnewawa & Big Sandy for waldos & northerns. Now I prefer to relax a bit more and find the panfishing is actually more fun for me. Gotta love those stripers!!
Hi, My name is Terrie, I am 48 years old and live in Randall. Ice fishing and spearing has always been a part of my life. I am the current President of the Minnesota Darkhouse and angling association Brainerd Lakes area chapter. In my spare time I carve fish decoys at a rate of between 60 and 120 a year. My favorite lake to spear is Whitefish being the big one North of brainerd. My favorite lake to angle is where ever the fish are biteing!.
Welcome all new members of ice shanty.com !My name is Jim and have been fishing and hunting since I was a kid. From north metro area my whole life with lakes everywhere in the state. Just joined as a member but have been checking this site out for quite some time. I think ice fishing is my favorite and do have many boats for the lakes and rivers being I fish all over the state and sometimes Wisconsin and Ontario. One of my favorite places to icefish is LOTW on snowmobiles and otters not knowing what you will catch but mostly fish around the metro area and Mille Lacs.
My name is Nate and I live in Moorhead, MN. I fish the Detroit Lakes area most of the time but also fish up by Thief River Falls and a couple trips to LOW per winter. Been fishing since I was little but just scored a finder this winter and an awesome gf who bought a boat last summer! As you can see by my login name I don't claim to be any master angler but love to go out and catch whatever is biting.

Hi everyone! My name is Josh. I live in Wisconsin and spent a day last week fishing on White Bear Lake, this was my first time fishing in Minnesota and I didin't do too bad.
Hey ya'll, I'm Jon, and I live in Shakopee. The most of my life. I have fished pretty much every lake in this state. The ice is treating me pretty good. Just yesterday I caught some crappies, sunnies, perch, and a decent northern in about four hours. Hit up Carl's Lake (aka Mc Mahon). I guess join the rest of the crowd, because it does get busy out there. Just use up those crappie minnows and fatheads. Good luck and catch ya later.
Hey Guy's,Name is Keith, I'll be 63 in May so I guess I be considered an "Oldtimer", still not used to that! Love fishing both hard and soft water, took my son up to LOW for first ice, I think he's been ruined for life we had our limit just after noon both days that lake is awsome!! Got a lot of good info from this site on tricking out portables, bought a Canvas Craft Magnum and put a carpeted lid with rod rack and such. Hoping to get out and get into some Perch on Leech next month. I live in Brainerd but thinking of moving further north, getting too busy around here!
Hey Tommy,That's what I keep telling my kid, he calls it "Dadvice", he says some of it is working though
Originally from Woodbury, MN now in Coleraine, MN up on the Iron Range. I fish Grand Rapids area lakes mainly. Just started ice fishing this year and it is very fun. I have been fishing from a boat since I was about 6, just never thought about ice fishing I guess. I love the sport and being outdoors! I especially love living up in northern Minnesota.
