Last weekend was the Minnesota walleye fishing opener. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON and discussed where the fishing was good and where it wasn't.

Fishing season is officially underway in Minnesota.

The Minnesota walleye fishing opener is Saturday May 14. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON today. He says walleyes are done spawning and are looking to feed.

The Governor's Fishing Opener has been a tradition in Minnesota since 1948. Governor Tim Walz will be fishing Saturday May 14th on Cut Foot Sioux Lake near Lake Winnie. The Leech Lake/Lake Winnibigoshish area is hosting this year's event.

It's time to load up the boat and hit the open water for the fishing opener in Minnesota.

Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON today. He says he's already excited and looking forward to the Walleye Fishing opener in just over 2 weeks on Saturday May 15. He has these suggestions to make your experience better when it's time to get out there; make sure your boat is ready, batteries are operating, tackle is fully stocked, jigs, and get your live bait a day or two prior to May 15.

Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON today. He says the Minnesota Walleye fishing opener is one month from today on May 15. Schmitt says the reason for the later than normal fishing opener is the fishing opener always need to be 2 weeks away from the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
