Lake Minnetonka

I never Have much luck threw the ice but I saw a lot of fish! If i didn't have an under water camera I don't think I would make the effort. There is a lot of work involved in Ice fishing, but it was a beautiful day to be out on the Ice!

Fishing Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota

Catching Crappies              2023 fishing opener is in how many days?

Thanks for the welcome! And I too would be fine with that one guy who likes Ayahuasca heading out of the Midwest...

Anyways, I've fished Minnewashta and Waconia a few times each, and they're decent lakes no doubt. But I'd love to get out on some of the structure on Minnetonka for an overnight sit. 

You're probably right though. I know the lakes up north are better walleye destinations, but I'd like to get out closer to the area. 

Thanks again, and tight lines!

Welcome to Minnesota,

I am hoping we don't buy another has been quarter back from Wisconsin. I have not looked at any on the Wisc. lakes on Lake Link but having grown up in Minnesota I find most people are afraid to say where they fish, thinking someone is going to catch millions of fish in what ever lake they are keeping secret. With the 14,300 acres of lake in Minnetonka, and about 20 different species, in about 35 different bays, I would guess a half a million to a million fish in each bay, it would take a lot of people fishing to put a dent in the fish population! I only keep and eat 1 meal of Crappie every year, but I catch and release more Sunfish Crappie Bass and Northern than I can count! If I am going to fish for Walleye I probably would just go Leech or Winni. But it's cheaper to go to Lund's or Jubilee and save $150.00 in gas. There is GREAT fishing in a lot of lakes around the Twin Cities, just pick a lake near by and get started. If your fishing for Walleye check out the lakes up north, in which case you might want to fish your old haunts in Wisc, It may be closer!    GOOD LUCK WHAT EVER YOU DO 

Hi all, 

Moved to the area from Wisconsin, and I see that Lake-link isn't quite the hub of fishing info like it is over there. Is there a different site that people use for reports? Otherwise, I'm wondering if there are any bays that are good for winter overnight fishing for 'eyes. Was thinking of walking out for an overnight on Diamond reef (or nearby). Good idea? Bad? Been researching trying to get an idea of where to go for an overnight. Any help/insights appreciated! Thanks all!

Happy New Year to ALL the people that fish and participate in reading or posting to LAKE-LINK. If anyone has fished Lake Havasu AZ please post any Insight you have, especially for shore fishing.
