The crappie were biting on Minnetonka this weekend.  St. Cloud isn't that far away, so I assume there are lakes there with biting crappie/sunnies.  You just need to find a back bay, channel, cattail type area with 3-7 feet of water (hopefully stained).  This early bobbers usually are the ticket.  Be sure to slowly "jig" the bobber and/or slowly reel it in.  The fish are still a bit lethargic until the water warms into the mid to upper 50s.  Try waxies and SMALL crappie minnows.  Good luck.
