Location: Prior Lake, Minnesota | Anyone been out on Waconia in Western Metro Minnesota lately? Or has the heat and skiers kept everyone off? Weeds or water clarity would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!! |

| The water is dark and if it is a nice day there will be boats and jet skis everywhere!!!! Get there by 4:30 a.m and be ready to get off the water early on the weekends. Weekdays I am sure will be a little better. I was out there at 5:00 a.m this weekend and there were already a dozen other muskie guys out there chucking baits on the better spots. I know that some fish have been caught, but that lake, like ALL the metro lakes (Tonka, Independence, etc...) is getting POUNDED. I would recommend fishing during the week to avoid some of the pressure.
Lake Independence has been hot from what I have heard. You might want to give it a try. Good Luck. |

Location: Prior Lake, Minnesota | Thanks for the info. I went out Tue. night and battled the wind. The only good thing is that there were no skiers and only about 6 boats out. Never saw a single fish. Dont know if you could see a follow anyway the water is pretty dark. Managed 1 mid thirty's fish in 18 feet of water on a depth raider - go figure. No other blow ups or swirls. |
