Tossing a mix of flashy swimmer keitechs, spinner baits, and a teckel qlinker tight against laydowns and banks with fast drops. Fish had a tough time getting the teckel in their mouth and would not comeback for another shot at it or any follow up baits. Lots of dinks on the flashy swimmer but it did get big fish of the day at 4.60lbs.

My son caught two 3+ pound smallies and this 4+ pounder. It was 80 degrees and blue skies, so the fishing wasn’t great, but our top five were still close to 17 pounds.

Sep. 14th. Starting cloudy, cool, and calm - transitioned to sunny in the 80s with 10mph breeze by the afternoon. Very stained green water here, so needed to stay in the 6 ft or less range. More numbers could be caught near reeds, but the better size bass I caught skipping a jig under docks.

Temps are cooling for fall. Bass are starting to scatter. When you find one stick around there is another. Fish 8-10 feet of water submerged grass. I find that I start there and move shallow until I find the “right” depth. White Jack hammer with a Hog Farmer Spunk Shad white. Keep casting until you find them and cover water and grass flats. I’m

Generally slow fishing on a hot day. Caught 7 Walleye on Jig and crawler combo. No schools at all. Each fish was on a different spot requiring me to move around. Fish glued to the bottom tough to see even with FFS. Tried reaction baits periodically but Jig & crawler ended up the success pattern on this day. One bonus Smallmouth and 1-14" bonus crappie

I was fishing an MN Kayak Fishing Association Bass Tournament and found a stretch of shoreline that had submerged weeds. The area was LOADED with bass and pike. I fished the weed line and just inside the weed line and found lots of fish in ambush mode that couldn't resist the thump...thump...thump of the chatterbait.
