I am looking to go out somewhere in the north metro area for some good tip-up fishing?  Anyone have any good lakes ....I don't want to drive too far.  Thought I'd check as you guys always have good information.

Thanks

If you want alot of Pike action go to coon you should pullup 20 in a day.

lake owasso in roseville is an awesome tip up lake for northerns and if you know where to go you can find some decent eyes as well..and right across the street is lil,owasso if you can find them there is crappies...good luck

I just was looking owasso....the north end of the lake looks like a good spot for northerns....close to the public access and little east.
Any other tips or locations for this lake...I am going to be using med suckers and some shiners.

thanks for the tips...I am headig to owasso...

mud lake is really good for pike right now ... off hwy 94

Twin Lake in Robbinsdale/Brooklyn Center is very good for Pike.  There are actually 3 lakes.  The middle lake just north of Hwy 100 on the north end is excellent.

PSE... I second the notion for Coon lk.  Hit Vado's bait on 65 on the way up they'll tell ya x-actly where to go.  -thunderpout

What lake would anyone suggest for size, not numbers? I used to fish rush but since the slot it is tough to get a meal. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are looking for Big Pike or at least a shot at them I would try WBL ... There are some good ones in there along with alot of eaters
I prefer to eat the little ones and let the big boys swim !

Just to clarify, I am not looking to keep 6+ pound fish, I just do not want to get 1-2 pounders. Thanks again

Pretty Good advice.  I wouldnt expect to many people to give there spots away either.  I am going to the Isles tomorrow for the Big Walleye!!!

You can get those out on WBL. I have gotten a some 8+ fish out there and last year a friend pulled 2 15lbs
You will tangle with the the 3-5lbs quite a bit but the big boys are there too

Owasso is also a good choice it has been a while since I have been there though

[Cousin Kyle]

I have stayed away from WBL.  I have fished Owasso 4 times this year and all I caught was a few crappie and a nice buzz.  I will take you up on WBL this week.
