Pool 4 - Redwing Dam (WI)

Reported by
Ben Nelson
Mille Lacs Lake (MN)
Ben Nelson reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.8" on Mille Lacs Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Great time to get out on Mille Lacs! Could not find the usual offshore fish, so I switched things up and went shallow. I targeted reefs and rock piles in 6-8 feet of water with a small swimbait on a jig head. Many fish had pushed up onto the tops of these reefs, and were using the wind to their advantage to feed heavy! No giant fish found up on this structure (biggest was 4 lbs). In addition to the swimbait, I also pitched a dropshot around the larger boulders I saw as I worked around the structure. Pitching to the shaded side produced the most consistent results."

Sam Rardin Fishing
Little Rabbit Lake (MN)
Sam Rardin Fishing reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.8" on Little Rabbit Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Fished the Mississippi that drops out of Little Rabbit yesterday (Nov. 8) and found some pretty big schools of smallmouth. Focusing on areas with rock next to vegetation and a good edge made for good fishing. Marking them with down imaging then positioning the bait 20 ft away was the most productive. One thing I didn’t put on techniques was blade baits. The biggest fish that I caught all bit the blade bait (1/4 fire tiger) . Then I could finish the school off slow rolling a swimbait and dragging a ned across bottom. I could tell the fishing pressure has picked up big time in the areas I like to go. Have an open mind and move around. Really slow down and be methodical in your approach. When working the blade bait barely move it. Understand the fish are wintering right now and trying to really exert minimal energy to feed. Depths I was fishing was 16ft-20ft with rocky bottom. Good luck guys ! One more outting to go!"

Megabass Spark Shad Swimbait

Reported by
Brian Jœ
Pool 2 Mississippi (MN)
Brian Jœ reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Megabass Spark Shad Swimbait on Pool 2 Mississippi. Additional comments from this report: "When the water is hovering around 50, smallmouth can be found in the eddys as they move upstream to spawn. The 3” spark shad can really produce at this time. Adjust weight of jig based on current. "

Reported by
Katherine Field
Pool 9 Lake Winneshiek (WI)
Katherine Field reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Megabass Spark Shad Swimbait on Pool 9 Lake Winneshiek. Additional comments from this report: "Smallmouth are crushing shad on shallow flats near the main river channel. Look for areas with lots of current, flats and ledge drop offs or sand bars. Work your swimbait along the flats and over the drop offs into deeper water. Smallies are going to smash it!"

Reported by
PunchFishing
Chequamegon Bay (WI)
PunchFishing reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Megabass Spark Shad Swimbait on Chequamegon Bay. Additional comments from this report: "Smallies we're located in the Sand Cut Slough. They were in shallow water that was less stained. Fish were caught in 5' or less. The hot bait was a 3" Megabass Spark shad on spinning gear with a light weight head. Making long casts and swimming it back briskly triggered bites. "
