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!
