StarTribune.com Mobile | News, weather, sports: "Lake Mille Lacs: It was a slow opener on the big lake, coming just three days after the official ice-out on May 7. The spring night ban has been extended and will be in effect until Dec. 1; anglers may not possess fishing gear on the lake from 10 p.m. through 6 a.m. daily. According to Lundeen’s Tackle Castle, anglers should seek warmer waters in the sandy areas on the north end, around Vineland Bay and Big Point. Walleyes still are spawning and won’t be so aggressive, so try to fish slow, small and shallow using medium-sized leeches or minnows.
Alexandria area: Many smaller lakes produced fish during the opener, and anglers were also having some luck in locations with current. According to the Minnesota DNR, walleyes in the area are mostly spawned out. Anglers should slowly fish minnows on jigs or Lindy Rigs at 10 to 15 feet in sandy gravel areas during daylight hours. In the evening, try fishing shallow waters from shore or in moving water."
