Largemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationBorden lake is covered in eel grass which can be difficult to fish. We found the first spot where there was no eel grass and it paid off. There is a marked buoy that’s surrounded by cabbage, we flipped brush jigs and were able to catch small mouth and largemouth.

Northern PikeTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureReedsSaturday, 8/13/22 water temps 71 degrees, overcast winds 10-15 from the Northeast First time out on Borden and EVERYWHERE looks fishy. We had best luck fishing adjacent to the bulrush beds, NOT the wild rice beds. Caught a few LMB but the Pike were biting 10 to 1. A couple of LMB were caught on top water baits in open pockets of the bulrushes. After donating two chatterbaits and a 1/2 oz jig (to Pike) I switched to a white spinnerbait to control the bite-offs, mission accomplished.

The bass were in small schools on small rocky points where the point stuck out of the weed line. The jig worked in the edge of the weeds and the ned rig worked out on the rocks just out from the weed line.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureRock PileIf Mille Lacs seems to be stumping you - head over to Borden and go after some Small Jaws! You will need to put in the time, but if you don't want to - and just want to get to fishing target reed patches for largemouth or go offshore for the bronze backs. It is a smaller lake, with decent clarity so deep finesse tactics tend to prove to be beneficial and successful if you have the patience and understand how to pattern those strategies.
