Bass Fisherman Liberation Day Has Arrived (3/1/26)

 

I went to Beat Trax, bought my licence around noon, and headed to Erskine around 3 PM. I caught one dink bass on a Cubby.  Today is when catch-and-release fishing is officially legal for bass during the closed season. 

Liberation Day Has Arrived!

"Opening Bass To Year Round Fishing," Amen!

 

It certainly seems like 2026 is going to be the year that MN will finally go to catch and release fishing allowed for bass during the closed season.

It looks like we have one more year of a closed bass season in MN before the state does away with a completely closed season for bass in favor of allowing catch and release fishing for bass year round.
