Chuck Hasse has been on the ice hauling fish houses to the hottest spots (figuratively, of course) on the Lake. Leech has had a strong year and Chuck has the story.
Dick Beardsley with a harrowing tale of the dicey ice of 2023, plus updates on how it’s looking now. There are fish to be caught, Brady and Dick discuss. Plus an update on cool outdoor happenings with Visit Bemidji and much more!
Mike Frisch is a busy dude! So busy, he hasn’t even had a ton of ice fishing opportunities. Nonetheless, he’s a veteran and has some great hard water wisdom. We get caught up on what we’ll see on “Fishing The Midwest”, talk about the School Of Fish, and even throw in a Fast Five.
It’s been a very spotty winter for ice. And even where there’s good ice, there’s often slush and snow piled on top of it. But there are a couple places that have great ice and fairly good access…Red and Lake of the Woods. And who knows more about Red and Lake of the Woods than Carl Adams? Well, probably somebody…but I don’t who they are.
Garett Svir’s business name says it all: Slab Seekers Guide Service. With ice finally firming up on Otter Tail Country lakes, Garett is finding fish and action while dealing with the slush that s prevalent throughout Minnesota this year. Plus, the new panfish regs effects on slab sizes and much more.

John Hoyer has had another amazing year. He captured his second Cabela’s National Walleye Tour National Championship, he was part of Team USA at the World Predator Classic in Czechia. On top of all that…he got his deer, Robin Hood style. Great stuff from John Hoyer on the latest podcast.
We have a Lake of the Week Doubleheader today, learning about Lobster Lake in the Alexandria area (no, we don’t know why a lake in Minnesota’s Paul Bunyan Country is called “Lobster”) and Pine Lake in Walker. If you want to learn a little more here are some links from the MN DNR LakeFinder:

Pine: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/lake.html?id=11029200
It’s a Lake of the Week doubleheader as we discover a couple of gems in Paul Bunyan Country. First up we check out a lake in the Alex area that definitely does not contain the marine life it’s named after…and secondly, we check out Pine Lake, which could be…well…pretty much anywhere. Listen to find out which Pine we’re checking out.
