Location: Lake Elmo, MN | Interested to find out where guys fish most often. List your most frequented state....that is, in what area / state / Province do you fish THE MOST ? Obviously we all fish multiple spots....just list the one you fish most.
Thanks all.
IF you fish Minneapolis Metro....that's "Sounthern MN".

| I had to check other because I fish mostly the twin cities metro area,,,which I think quite a few people on this site do. The metro is a fishery unique to itself not part of northern or southern Minnesota.

Not thinking of switching locations, at least not in the near future! |

Anything south of Grand Rapids is the cities which also makes it southern minnesota  |

| TC metro should be a separate area or central MN, given that most of the population is in the twin cities. I selected other. |

I could compromise and say anything south of Walker to Hill City and then over to Duluth |

I've caught exactly one [freshwater] fish south of that line and it was a fricken carp. |

Yeah but my town has two stoplights that can really mess up my commute. |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | I picked other because the TC Metro is not southern MN, it’s a unique area and including it in a larger overall area skews the numbers. To me southern MN is places like Faribault, Rochester, Marshal, and Mankato, and Albert Lea. |

| It's okay to be from the south, guys. No one here will hold it against you. |

Bunch of 612ers !
I spend about 9-10 months a year on Vermilion, while my wife lives in the cities (Elko)
That is a good thing for both of us.... She hates Northern MN. and I hate being in the Cities. It's a Beautiful thing.
I haven't fished a lake in the cities since 2011. |

| Can we also argue if Green Bay is S. or N., or Stevens Point, or Wausau? I don't currently fish any of them but it seems arguing is necessary about this poll. |

| I happen to live in the southern MN region and closest musky lake is at least 1 hour away. I fish all over Minnesota, every trip is an adventure and a drive. Nothing like getting up at 3 am, waking my son up and watching him get ready in under five minutes to go musky fish. (If it were only that easy when I wake him up for school). Son is 10, he can read a map and tells me where to go. Watch the sun come up and am usually on the water just before or right after sunrise. Fish all day and enjoy the ride home. Usually takes a pot of coffee and a bag of sunflower seeds to keep me awake. I wish I had a musky lake in my back yard. But I enjoy quality time in the truck and the boat with my son.
I mainly fish metro waters(not southern MN), I hit southern MN lakes early in the year and usually don't revisit them until September or October. I will take random trips throughout the year to northern MN and Mille lacs. I even visited Iowa quite a few times in 2015. Haven't fished Wisconsin yet and it will be on my list in 2017. I have my go to lakes but I love visiting new waters as well and I love hitting up lakes that are a few hours drive or so. Its great to get the kid out and on the road away from the technology these kids use today. I enjoy every minute of it.

Our state is over 400 miles "tall" (north-to-south). Twin Cities are like 100 miles from the SOUTHERN border. How is that NOT southern MN???
Central MN is Brainerd, Little Falls, Aitkin, Park Rapids, etc. Look at a map.
If you're heading to Mille Lacs and think you're going to Northern Minnesota, you might be a citiot. |
