First off, as promised here's a picture of our prize catch from Memorial Day Weekend: A 35" Northern Pike from one of Minnesota's 10,000+ lakes!With water falling from the sky on nearly a daily basis, and temperatures hovering around tolerable to mild at best, many of Minnesota's outdoor enthusiasts have dubbed this a wasted spring.Not so for Minnesota's angling population.

You should find some luck along the weed lines in 8'-16' in most lakes in the state. Also look for some action fishing the rocky shallows.Most seem to be having good success with jigs and shiners.
