South Central Minnesota

[TJ Bauer]

Does anyone fish on any of the lakes in south central MN or does everyone go up north it would be nice to share info about lakes in the area rather then lakes I might (if the wife lets me) go to one time a year.

im from north central iowa. i like shields lake but no ice so no fishing. or i s there ice now aint bn that way sence x-mas..

[TJ Bauer]

The ice isnt great but we have ice on most lakes. Cannon is wide open, Cedar has open water, Masaska has just one little spot open, French is probally the lake with the best ice, I am sure that Shields is get and for sure in Kaderlicks bay.

Hi TJ

I'm a newbie to IS - been hanging out about a month or so.

I used to fish the Faribault area more - but the last few years I've not
had as many chances.

The lake I fish the most (and know best) is Cedar - mainly for pannies.

Have also fished Hunt, French, Sheilds and Mazaska.

Last winter I was on Cedar once - got in to crappies - but they were small.

I exclusively fish south central MN, only 'cuz that's where I live. There are some good lakes down here, if you don't mind fishing with a crowd.

[TJ Bauer]

I guess I dont know where Truman is what lake do you fish I mainly fish the lake around the Faribault area.

[zamboni]

None around Faribault, Trumans by Fairmont- I usually go to Hanska, Cedar by Trimont, Iowa by Fairmont. In the summer, my aunt lives on Amber in Fairmont, so I usually go there.

Hey TJ, thanks for your help w/ brkt. last night. Would you agree that people are driving to fast on our local lakes..........or am I just getting old and worrysome?      CU on the ICE     ICETP

[TJ Bauer]

I would agree it seems like people are getting way to trust worthy of the ice. Nice to see you joined. No Prob on the bracket.
