Hello to all that fish in the Minneapolis area.

Are there any good lakes around the metro area that are worth fishing? Looking for a new lake to try, not having any luck around my area.

Thanks for all that reply.

Depends on what part of the metro you're in. Obviously Lake Minnetonka is a must for any bass guy in MN. Many lakes in Carver county are really strong bass lakes, like Eagle, Pierson, or Steiger (7 of the Top 10 Bass Fishing Lakes in MN are in Carver County, including the lake where the record was caught in '05).

Look at Prior Lake, Waconia, or WBL (White Bear Lake is like a mini-Lake Minnetonka, and it's a very solid bass lake). Calhoun & Isles actually have some big bass as well (6-7 lbers). Chisago Lake has the quantity (you can catch 50-60 bass in a day no problem)

Thanks! some of those lakes i have not tried. I am in the SW part of the metro. Will have to hit those up. I appreciate the help.
