Sunrise fishing on submerged hydrilla. First 2 hours spent at the mouth of a pocket with matted grass on the bank and hydrilla at about 6 foot in depth. Big ladies hanging in the grass pounding hybrid hunters coming across the top of the grass. Late morning in the same pocket we found shad balls in 20 foot of water and they went from top to bottom. C rigs with a super fluke or a whale swim bait with a flashy swim hook through and around the shad.

This outing was for 6/18/2025 and was our GreenHorn Wednesday Night Tournament for the week. The weather started out a bit wacky with a big pop-up thunderstorm delaying blastoff about 15 minutes. The wind and rain really picked up and was glad blast off was delayed. After the storm the weather was beautiful. Overall fishing was a bit slow for us without a ton of numbers, but caught good quality and brought home the WIN! We fished up shallow all night, primarily fishing docks and trying some frogging in the slop. I caught our kicker fish under a dock, which was big bass of the tournament, a 5 pounder! We culled maybe 1 time all night, but caught maybe 10 keepers, just happened that the ones in the livewell were bigger at the time.

Up for a few days with my Canadian friends. Was a struggle with the first heat wave of the year. Shakey heads and the Neko was pretty much all we fished. Had a hot morning on the crankbait but no size.

Despite 25 mph winds, 94° heat, and whitecaps on the lake, the fish were still willing to bite! We had a board full of northerns, a few bass, and some crappie to show for it. We tried to target some walleyes, but for whatever reason, they just didn’t want to cooperate today—which is perfectly fine, because the rest of the action more than made up for it. We tested out all the new casting gear, and it performed flawlessly. The clients were very happy with both the equipment and the overall experience. We focused on transition areas, gravel bottoms, and some clay patches, and also spent some time working the weeds. Every spot gave us something different to think about, making it a truly interesting and dynamic day on the water. The group did a fantastic job out there, and I’m already looking forward to guiding them again. Hopefully, the lake continues to fish as well as it did today!
