Maple Lake Fishing Report
Maple Lake Fishing Report: -near Mentor, Minnesota Name: Fishmaster K Maple_LakeIt has been awhile sence I have been up there, say about two weeks. I was just wondering what's happening up there and is there any fish near the culvarts or coves. Are there any docks in yet? Name: fishmaster K Maple_LakeI fished Maple Lake about two weeks ago( when the ice was off) and totally took the panfish right out of the water. I was fishing near the bay on the south side. The crappies were even bighting a little but I think you should wait awhile or fish deeper water. I also fished near the culvert but don't hang around in that bay where everyone goes, just fish left of it way back into the shallows. I garantee you will catch a panfish and the water is probably warmed up by now, so good luck. just a tip from me to you by the Fishmaster K Name: Felix C. Maple_LakeAny updates from Maple? Any fish at the culverts? Good or bad.....let us know. Felix C. Name: Ted Marshall Maple_LakeFished in a few different areas on Thurs. No crappies, just bullheads. Tried minnows and plastics but it didn't make a difference. Name: fisher guy Maple_Lakeis there alot of fish up there and if there is Where? Name: bay guy Maple_Lakewhen you fish you will notice you either catch small fish or large crappies. please release the large ones to help the lake recover from the winter kill of crappies from the winter of 2001. all of you know that this winter was not that good. take what you can eat and throw back the larger ones. there are plenty of smaller ones to keep and it will help the lake recover faster. Name: PETE Maple_LakeFISHED THE CULVERT ON SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE. AND ONLY CAUGHT TWO CRAPPIES AND THREE LARGE MOUTH BASS. BUT THERE WERE TWO GUYS ACROSS FROM ME WHO WERE DOING PRETTY GOOD. LOTS OF WEEDS FLOATING ON TOP THAT YOU HAVE TO FISH THRU. BUT I THINK THE WATER TEMP JUST IS NOT WARM ENOUGH TO BRING WHAT IS LEFT OF THE CRAPPIES INTO THE SHALLOWS. I FISHED WITH MINNOWS AND SOFT PLASTICS. (COLORS WHERE YELLOW AND PEARL,GREEN CHART. AND WHITE.) Name: Roger Satter Maple_LakeStopped at Maple off the culverts yesterday. Crappies were slow but Einer told me that the sunnies are biting on Clear Lake. Smoked about half a pack of cigarillo's. Went home to fix the furnace at three. Name: EGF fisherman Maple_LakeIs the ice coming off maple yet or atleast the culverts. If not when do you think a person can fish for crappies in the small bays like lakeview, and the culverts. Name: mark h Maple_LakeI was one of the last houses off sat. Other people were out ther and only caught a few! If any one knows if it is still favorable to still fish maple and the srounding lakes please let me know. Today me and a buddy are going out and trying a smaller lake not to far from their north of hwy 2. Ill post our results. Name: tony L Maple_Lakehas any body been fishing union.need a good report please.sunday march 9. Name: fish johnson49er Maple_Lakefished breezy 3-3 caught 3 11" crappies and 2 bullheads marked a few fish that wouldnt bite. the lake has one year class that is getting fishe out. we had a wintekill in the bay 3 years ago that took the half dollar fish ou this will leave us a void for a few years. take what youy can eat and try throw a few back. the bucket full will be a thing of the past for a few years. dont be alarmed this is typical of maple Name: fish johnson49er Maple_Lakefished breezy 3-3 caught 3 11" crappies and 2 bullheads marked a few fish that wouldnt bite. the lake has one year class that is getting fishe out. we had a wintekill in the bay 3 years ago that took the half dollar fish ou this will leave us a void for a few years. take what youy can eat and try throw a few back. the bucket full will be a thing of the past for a few years. dont be alarmed this is typical of maple Name: maple bay guy Maple_Lakefished breezy point 3-3 7:00-9:30 2 bullheads and 3 crappies the crappies were 10-11" glowing red seemed to be the best. marked a few other fish but no takers. There is one main class of crappies left in maple right now so fishing will be slow. 3 years ago we had a lot of dead crappies and bluegills that were a half dollar size from winterkill this is verified by my underwater camera. the areators are very important to this lake and we need to try and be sportsmans and limit our crappie take in the spring. the 5 gallon buckets in the spring i hope will be a thing that we dont aim for. This boom and bust of age classes is typical of this type of lake. we can limit the extremes of this by taking what you can eat and fishing for fun by releasing a few short of the limit. Remember 10 years ago how the crappies were small we will be going thru that again for 3 years so be ready. Till then enjoy the 6-8 nice crappies and dont expect the limits. Name: Guns Maple_LakeI went out saturday and i got two big crappies but it was so cold that I didnt stay long. However, the prime time is from 3 to about 8. I plan on going this weekend so I will let you know how I did. Guns Name: BULLHEAD Maple_LakeAnyone catching anything at maple?

Name: BULLHEAD Maple_LakeFISHED THURS. PM. CRAPPIE WERE MORE ACTIVE THAN PAST FEW WEEKS. Name: Sharon R. Anderson Maple_LakeAugust of 1967 I fished somewhere in Minnesota, I thought was called Maple Lake at Alexandria. Everyone else is deseased that I was with. I remember my in-laws Ann & Bill Turnbeaugh rented at cabin there almost everyear, also a school teacher from Roxana, Il. and her name was Florence Dinwiddie also desceased. I was only there that one time but it was the most enjoyable fishing trip I have ever taken and would love to try and repeat it. I know things have changed throught the years but if any one there could help me with such a wonderful memory I would appreciate there help. Before I retire to the big sky I would love another fishing experience like that one. I was pulling 2 crappie at a time on my crappie rig. I wasn't using any fancy baits or lures just worms in an old john boat with trolling motor. Great!!! My e-mail address is andy1942@msn.com please send mail if you know where I am talking about. Name: RedChev Maple_LakeFished in the middle of breezy and trinity and had some luck about 4' off the bottom on glow blues and greens. About 5-10p.m. o'clock seemed to be the best. Good Luck. Name: Big Tuna Maple_LakeWent fishing on Sat off Breezy Pt. with Ev "darn it got off" and Bruce "is the ice thick enough?". Catching fish was very slow, marked many fish but very few takers. Ev and Bruce each picked up one nice Crappie each while I am waiting until the fishing heats ups and a guy can catch more than one at a setting. Still a very nice day to be out on the ice, fry up some fish and sit back and enjoy the outdoors. Name: Jim Maple_LakeThanks Pete and Geato I went out tonight and from 7-9 I cought 5 realy nice crappies and a nice perch. Green Glow was working the best at about 2 1/2 feet off of the bottom.

I was just wondering what lake he was talking about? If anyone knows what he was talking about, please email me.

SO SAVE ME SOME ACTION ON THE ICE AND IF NOT LET ME NOW HOW YOU DID Name: Geato Maple_LakeI have noticed there is 12 to 14 inches of silt on the bottem of the lake try keep your bait above that silt on Maple Lake. Has anyone been driving out on Union Lake yet. Name: Jim Maple_LakeI need a little help. Fished at Breezy last 2 saterdays from 3 till 7 and have only cought a few perch. Any little hints or tips would be nice. Name: rmattingley Maple_LakeFished breezy point from 2 till 7, caught 5 crappie, all about 10 to 12 inches Funny thing, fished 3 to 4 foot off bottom Name: Jake Thelen Maple_LakeFished the southeast part of the lake last night. We saw many walleye and caught our limit of bottle bass. Also three 19 inch perch at 12:37 pm. Mom called at 1:00 and said I had to come home for "the feeding". Plan to go back out again tonight Name: Travis Maple_Lakehas anyone tried Union or Sarah? Name: Ringer Maple_LakeFished Breezy Saturday from 4 until 7pm. The kid and I caught 2-four inch perch, a three-quarter pound walleye and a decent crappie. It was a very slow three hours with very little action. We marked a few fish, but as always, we took very little home. Thank God I don't have to feed my family on my fish catch- it would definitely be a famine. Name: rmattingley Maple_LakeFished Breezy point 12 to 7:30 on friday, 5 perch Name: John Maple_LakeFished Maple 12/29/02 at the public fishing area, we caught 4 crappie by 8:30 pm. Marked some other fish but was pretty slow. Good ice, few fish! Name: Wayne P Maple_LakeHas anyone been driving out on maple? Like to try breezy this weekend. If so, going out by the inn again? Name: Big Tuna Maple_LakeFished Breezy Sat. afternoon/evening I got the usual-sore buttox and a wet arm-the other guys a few crappies and one walleye. Ice seemed pretty decent. We walked down from the road by one of the Resorts that was closed for the season, when we got back from walking off the ice there was a note on two of the three rigs that were parked there asking us to not walk/park by there again because they were "closed for the season". Makes a person feel pretty welcomed with those types of messages. I'm sure the county sherrif would just love to answer that call and cite some people walking off the lake in the dark for trespasing through a closed for the season boat launch area. Name: tony lowell Maple_Lakedec 15 has any body been on union lake.how much ice.are they getting any fish. Name: R Mattingley Maple_LakeQuestion, I have a vexlar, but I was wondering if anyone has ever used a "regular" Fish finder when ice fishing, I have one on my boat, Just wonder if I would be wasting my time bringing it.
Name: R mattingley Maple_LakeI went out last weekend and caught 3 perch, but no crappies. Ice was 8 in. and people were driving on the ice. I was still a little weary and carried my stuff on. Any one gone out in last few days? Just wonder what the warm weather has done to the ice? I plan on spending the weekend up there,
Name: Deon Maple_LakeThere are actually people driving there trucks off of Breezy Point. They have been doing that since 12/6 Name: SlipBob Maple_LakeI was just wondering if the ice is safe yet to at least walk out and set up a portable out of Breezy Point?
Name: Pete Maple_Lakefished tuesday from 400 to 645 and caught one crappie but marked alot on the vexlar. and some boneheads came out on the ice in a car doing 360s around our icehouse if only they knew how thick the ice was at breeze point. 6inches. And WAYNEP there is maps for the lake go to lake finder and it will show you everything . Name: Wayne P Maple_LakeFished on Maple on sunday night about 100 yds of of the boat ramp at breezy point. 7-8 inches then. Caught a few fish. Not to many people out and all left fairly early. don't think the bite was real strong. give it a few weeks and i'm sure it will improve. Name: R Matt Maple_LakeWondering about Ice conditions?? What's biting Name: Waynep Maple_Lakeanyone know if a guy and find a countour map of maple lake at store or web. Name: Bouncing Bobber Maple_LakeI was at maple on Sat. morning 8:30 to 11. Caught one perch by the rock pile missed a couple. Fished 9 to 11 feet. The ice was 6inches. It was great getting out on the ice again. Cant wait to get back on the ice this weekend. Bouncing Bobber Name: Big Tuna Maple_LakeWent to Maple Lake with Ringer on Sat. The ice was about 5 inches, we fished off the rock pile-where they have the fishing dock in the summer time. Fished from 4:30 till about 6:45. Ringer caught 1 nice size crappie. Those around us were having simular luck. Oh well it could pick up next week. Name: Nick Maple_LakeHey Tully, There's enough ice on Maple by the Polk County Park for fishing. It varies anywhere between 3-5 inches as of last weekend, but you can probably add another 1 to 2 inches for this weekend. Not much action to report, but I was only out for an hour and I suspect it will pick up soon. Hope this helps. Name: Tully Maple_LakeHoping to get out Thanksgiving weekend. Any report on ice thickness on Maple or lakes in area? Thanks, Tully Name: Joe Nordlie Maple_Lakec-ya out on the lake boys i will be the one catching all the big fish. Name: Sam Nordlie Maple_Lakec-ya out on the lake boys i will be the one catching all the big fish. Name: Sam Nordlie Maple_LakeMaple lake is the best for notheren pike i am out there every year and i must catch atleast tree or four everytime and i lover there big tornement i mean the lake is just pack and it the best time you will every have. Name: Perchjerker Maple_Lakefished UNION last night from 7 to 10. fishing was decent from 6-12 ft of water picked a few nice 18 inch walleyes trolling spinners with a minnow. caught a few smaller snakes also. over n out Name: Rob Mattingley Maple_LakeFished the lake last night and only caught bull heads and 1 small northern. Fished till 4 am Name: Wiskers Guiding Service Maple_LakeHey foks, it's the fishing opener!!!!! Unfortunatly the fish do not know that. The weather was a real misshap for Maple Lake. Our boat got one perch, :-( We spoke to about 20 others that did not even get that. The water temp was about 46 degrees. That is just still too cold. I only know of about 12 walleyes caught on Maple and that was before 5:00 am. Lets hope the weather warms up soon. See you all on the water. Rusty Name: cateyepike Maple_LakeWell I finally got my boat in the water. Decided to check out some Crappie action on what turned out to be the only nice six hours of the past couple of weeks. The first spot we tried we didn't get as much as a bite. Some shore fishermen were near a culvert and killing the fish but we had no go even within 20 yards of them. The second spot we found was a pretty popular spot. Both boats and shore fishermen seemed to be doing well. We caught a nice meal of Crappies in about two hours fishing in 3 feet of water. We had the best luck with a 1/16th ounce jig tipped with a minnow and a slip bobber. The best bite came keeping the lure about 18" from the surface.
