Golfing in McGregor Minnesota ~ Fishing on Big Sandy Lake

McGregor Minnesota Has a Newly designed Golf Course by Joel Goldsrtand called Minnesota National Golf Course and Just minutes away is connected by the lakes is Big Sandy Lake.

So now that the Golf Course is open and Opening Fishing is this weekend May 10th I think it would be an Awesome thing to do is Fish in the Morning and Golf in the afternoon or visa-versa, You can in fact drive your boat over to the Golf Course after a long day on the lake catching some of Minnesota's best Walleye out of Big Sandy Lake.

Here is a thought you can call the Big Sandy Lodge and Resort for a Play and Stay Package they now offer them to the public...

No Needing More!!

McGregor Minnesota Opening Fishing 2008

McGregor Minnesota 55760 Aitkin County ~ 2008 Opener Fishing

My name is Rick Borden I live on Big Sandy Lake and I am a Real Estate Broker in the McGregor Lakes area the reason I tell you this is I am looking forward to Fishing this year with my 2 Boys and a very good friend of mine Ken Kroll and his son Mike who is 15. Each and every year I get really excited for the opener of fishing... I really enjoy spending time with our boys on the lake and this year is no different the weather is looking like it should hold out for us and we will hit the lake with plenty of energy looking for those Big Walleye and some Slab Crappie. I will tell you some of my favorite memories come from sitting around the Fire pit watching the coal base and telling stories from past trips we have made together. Big Sandy Lake is real close to my heart for many reasons I started coming here to Big Sandy when I was just 6 years old and I am 43 now.... My Uncle Dick Borden had a place in Davis Bay on Big Sandy Lake we used to stay at a Resort called Kare Phree Pines now called Big Sandy Lodge and Resort. I thank my Uncle Dick for this because if it were not for him I would not be in Real Estate or have a Home on Big Sandy Lake I have much to be thankful for!!

Fishing on Big Sandy Lake for Walleye is a bit of a challenge the lake is full of structure and is nearly 10,000 acres of water with all the other tributaries that run in and out of Big Sandy. I will be fishing the Pier 65 Bridge and the Flowage going out of Big Sandy the Walleye like the shallow water and are just finishing spawn by this time of the year! Slab Crappie are often caught this time of the year as well.

Big Sandy Lodge and Resort has a Big Fishing Tournament on Opener weekend I think it is a great time they pay out 100% of the entry fee's and you get a real cool hat too! You must sign up by 12am the night before to enter.

Good luck to year this 2008 opener... Remember take a kid Fishing!

Fishing on Big Sandy Lake ~ McGregor Minnesota

My name is Rick Borden I am a Real Estate Broker in McGregor Minnesota and enjoy fishing and have enjoyed it since my father taught me as a young boy on my Grandpas lake in eastern Minnesota. I now live with my wife Leane on Big Sandy Lake in Northern Minnesota it is located only 2 hours North of the Twin Cities Metro area of Minneapolis.

Being in Real Estate gives me the flexibility to go fishing when I have time the weekends are all ways busy for me as most of my clients are from Chicago, Minneapolis, as well as from Wisconsin too so it seems as though my free time is during the week days and it is very quiet on the lake during the week. Big Sandy Lake has an abundant population of Bald Eagles and a whole bunch of Loons.... Not crazy weird funny people but our State Bird.

Big Sandy Lake is Awesome it has 23 Islands and has a whole bunch of structure on the lake so it is a hard lake to get used to if you do not fish much. I typically will fish for Walleye, Crappie, and Large mouth Bass up in Aitkin Lake we also are starting to get a descent Sunfish population too. I am hoping that this 2008 season will provide me the opportunity to get out and enjoy the lake as much as you all do.

Work before play..........

I have access to all the listings for sale on or around Big Sandy Lake so if you have questions on property values or are wanting to upgrade your current cabin or lake home please call me. I look forward to seeing you on the lake.
