Set The Hook Guide Service Launches New Ice Fishing Excursions

MINNETONKA, MN - November 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Set The Hook Guide Service, led by local angler Matthew Thompson, has announced the availability of guided winter excursions for the upcoming ice fishing season. Operating as an ice fishing guide in Minneapolis, MN, the company offers structured, single-day outings designed to introduce beginners to winter angling while accommodating experienced participants seeking local lake knowledge. Winter fishing on frozen lakes involves specialized drilling tools, variable ice surfaces, and shifting underwater fish locations that often present practical challenges for newcomers or travelers unfamiliar with regional waterways. Rather than focusing solely on harvest outcomes, the program emphasizes hands-on instruction, equipment familiarity, and adherence to established cold-weather procedures on metropolitan lakes. Through these scheduled trips, Set The Hook Guide Service provides residents and regional visitors with organized access to winter angling opportunities without requiring participants to own specialized winter gear.

Minneapolis Skyways Need a Better Map

Ask almost anyone working on downtown Minneapolis’s recovery about our skyways and the answer comes back as a leasing problem. Too many dark storefronts on the second level; the seemingly obvious fix is to fill them. I see the appeal—landlords desperately need that rent. But the belief that our skyways should keep doing the job they did in 1995, when downtown had a captive daytime workforce and retail with nowhere else to go, is the belief that keeps the system stuck.

They chat idly with one another from the boat’s helm, remarking on the September day’s balmy weather and the dogs that bound along the riverbanks across from them.

Bobby Durkin, unbeaten Minnesota take aim at winless Southern

Minnesota's Bobby Durkin knows it's just a matter of time before his shots start falling. Durkin will look to break out of a mini-slump when the Golden Gophers (3-0) tip off against Southern (0-4) on Thursday night in Minneapolis. Minnesota coach Niko Medved said he wasn't surprised to see Durkin in the gym early on Tuesday, one day after Minnesota edged host Cincinnati 63-61. The victory maintained the Golden Gophers' perfect start to the season, but Durkin uncharacteristically finished with five points and shot 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. "No days off," Medved said with a smile about Durkin, who averaged 10.2 points a game and shot 39.2% from 3-point range last season. "He's in here in the morning getting shots up. That's what you do. You stick with the routine. ... "It's no secret on the scouting report (that) people are going to look and they're going to say, ‘Hey, we don't want Durkin to catch and shoot a 3.' Sometimes that's difficult to do with all the other moving parts of guarding an offense. It's just been one of the last couple games where it hasn't been as good. ... As long as he keeps taking great shots,
