Spring Fishing Red Sand Lake: Information on Spring Fishng for Bluegills and Crappies

My son and I went to the access on Red Sand Lake last night.  The access is easy to find, but has little to no parking.  It is squeezed in between quite a few properties on the lake, but the dock makes for some decent shore fishing.  No bites last night, but we only had time for a few casts before the cold rain drove us back into the truck.


Here is an informative article via the Brainerd Dispatch on spawning crappies and bluegills

Here is more information from the MN DNR Lakefinder:

Brainerd Lakes Area Fishing Report, April 26, 2016

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA
The channels, ditches, and shallow bays have started giving up crappies and a few sunfish. The afternoon and evening hours have been best on Nisswa Lake, Gull Lake, and the Highway 371 Bay on North Long Lake.

Brainerd Lakes Area Fishing Report: April 15, 2016

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA
All lakes are now wide open, but water temperatures remained cold early this week and that has limited panfish action. With warm weather expected to arrive this week, start looking to those channels, piers, shallow bays, and ditches to be holding crappies soon.

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA
Most small lakes in the area are now open, but some floating ice can be seen on the big lakes – it is limited though. Crappie action has been slow with anglers trying the Bar Harbor area on Gull Lake or the Highway 371 Bay on North Long Lake.
