Hi, everyone.. I live in central Minnesota and love to kayak fish. Im starting this thread to see if anyone else loves to kayak fish and if so, where are you fishing and lets see your pics! 

 

        

 

nice video man!! I live in the western metro area, have a little 10ft jon (my version of a kayak).  Im new to the area so looking to get out here soon once I get all my stuff moved in.  Where abouts are you located in central mn?

Hi Dsidle61, Welcome to Minnesota.. I live in St. Cloud, MN

kayak I sent you a pm

Guys, we have a club for kayak fishing in Minnesota. We hold tournaments and get togethers. I have met and fished with several of the members. Great group of guys. Check it out. http://mnkayakfishingassociation.org/

 

I'm in the Twin Cities area and go out at least once a week. Hope we can get together.

Hi kingSalmon- Yes, I recently found them online and joined a couple months back. I did fish the first walleye opener tournament with them, but no luck  ..  I live an hour north of cities so someday ill make my way down to an event and meet the guys and go fishing with them.  Cant wait, sounds fun!  

kingsalmon--hey man welcome to the site!  Good to see Minnesota guys getting on here, there aren't nearly enough!  What part of the twin cities are you in??  Im not a kayak guy but my 10 ft jon is my version just with a trolling motor! 

Sounds like a sweet setup. My kayak is 10ft so very similar but you got a nicer paddle lol

Had the day off today. Went looking for some topwater bass. Found this guy waiting for me.

it has its benefits that's for sure! but you can definitely get plenty of places my trolling motor wont chew through!.  Nice video btw, my boat transportation will be arriving Saturday.  Have been eyeing up a few lakes that I need to get it on ASAP

I didn't get out, inlaws are in town for the week  .....eyeing sunday next weekend as my first trip out.  Thinking of hitting up one of the small lakes around Tonka.  Any luck for you this weekend? 

Bummer. oh well, hopefully next sunday you will get out. The bass will be waiting for you. Ya I got few bass this weekend. That clip I posted above is from this weekend. I did noticed less activity in the shallows this weekend. Thinking there deeper now on the lake I fish. Lot of nice bluegills up shallow on there beds. Pretty cool to see

Yes I have.....finally!  Ive been fishing parkers lake from the dock bc its about a 30 second drive for me so that's where my evening trips are.  Ive caught a few bass and pike so far, nothing to write home about.  This past weekend I ventured over to Ann.  Fishing was slowwwwww....except for 20 minutes of the evening.  Ended up with 4 bass in 20 minutes and that was it.  biggest went for 4lbs.  All came on a pad crasher frog.  Any luck for you lately.

Awesome man! Glad you finally got out. Even know it was slow for you, looks like you slammed some nice bass at the end. Gotta love that frog! 4 lbs is a nice fish. Good work! Last time I went out it was slow on the bass too. Caught few northerns that kept me busy. We'll good luck on your next adventure out.

Where have you been fishing lately??  I made a stop out to lake ann out in howard lake.  Bout an hour west outside the 494 beltway.  Got 3 nice bass in about 2 hours.  Two on a frog and 1 slow dragging a senko.  Pike have been the slow one for me lately.

Been busy last week so haven't got out to any lakes. Hit the Mississippi up once or twice afterwork, came up with few little smallies. Im headed out to a local lake today to see if I can find some hogs. Cool you got some nice bass. The frog came through for you. It seems to be a popular lake to bass fish down there. 

Such a beautiful fish for a beautiful fall day!

 

Hey everyone! Always love looking at Bassresource and hyped I found this thread! I live in the Twin Citites. Eden Prairie I know... semi recently moved back from school in Montana. Always been into bass fishing but just last year got into Kayak bass fishin and its awesome! Just thought I would say a few words and offer a fishing partner to anyone looking for one! Only some of my friends have kayaks and even then it's still hard to get them to go out! Would love to meet some new people and fishing partners. Have a good one!

nice to see another metro guy on board.  I live up in Plymouth but do a lot of my lake fishing in Chanhassen near you.  You should check out these guys http://mnkayakfishingassociation.org/   great group of guys there, do lots of tourneys throughout the summer. 

Hey is anyone interested in kayak modification?  I have a little ten foot (roughly) sit in kayak that i pretty much decked out. It has a refurbished stern mount motor that needed a head replacement, and has been converted into a removable bow mounted trolling motor, a removable homemade rudder system, a kayak crate with Four PVC rod holders (two mounted for trolling), a rod holder with hook/pliers holder in the cockpit, a homemade anchor trolley, and last but not least a trailer that was made from a old garden trailer and can be pulled behind my bike. If anyone is interested I have pictures and I am willing to share advice and such. O and by the way i'm located in southern Wisconsin but this was the closest thing out there.

Hey guys...I'm with the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association as well.  Without question I've found some of the best guys and gals and families I've ever fished with.  Check us out if you're not part of the association yet.  As for Minnesota Bass fishing...I live in Mankato and it's by far the best bass fishing I've ever had in my life...not even a close 2nd.  This past year, with help from my Jack Russel "Tator" who sits right behind me, I was able to land 409 large mouth bass.  And you wouldn't believe how many 4-6 pounder's I caught...roughly 50% or more were that size.  I'm hosting a kayak bass tourney next June...about the 3rd week of June open to all members of the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association.  A group of kayak fishermen will come down before the tourney and pre fish it with me...(I'm not fishing the tourney...just hosting it)...and I expect it's going to take 60" of bass to win the tourney (longest 3 bass caught).  If you're interested in joining or just interested in fishing give me a hollar and we can plan on hooking up next year for some incredible bass fishing.
