Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSummerStructureReedsCass Lake is a beautiful fishery that is full of fish, Walleye, Pike, Perch and much more. It has a moderate population of Largemouth bass, they may not be overly abundant, but their size is definitely better than average. Team tourneys often take around 20lbs or more to win. Think of this as a smaller version of Leech lake with a lower population density of largies. But you can fish and attack it very similar to Leech Lake. Your best bet is Frogs, Buzzbait, Jigs and soft plastics around shoreline cover and emergent vegetation in 4ft of water or less. The water is mostly clear so natural colors are a great place to start.

WalleyeTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsFished for walleyes out here one afternoon. Caught most in 8-12 FOW. Just in sandy points. Was using the scented jerk Shad as I didn't have any of my walleye gear with. So I pulled out my smallmouth stuff. I just let it sink to bottom and then snapped it back to the boat. Worked Well!

We got a limit of walleye in about 90 minutes just trolling the very irregular drop off along the east shore. We back trolling in 12 plus feet of water. We liked being a hundred yards or more off the white sand shore. Two of us were running different size and color of Flicker shads. The other guy was running a deeper lindy rig with a leech. On this day we got more on the cranks than the spinner rig. I did pick up a nice surprise 47 inch musky. So a limit of walleye and this lunker made for a great trip

Northern PikeTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonFallStructureReedsWas on Cass Chain for a Bass Tournament, however the Pike were very active in the shallow areas. Found good numbers of pike include some bigger ones in shallow reeds with a mix of cabbage and rice on the edge. light colored Swimbaits, spinner baits were best. Orange also worked as it was very overcast and rainy.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonFallStructureReedsWas on Cass Chain for a Bass Tournament. We did best for bass in areas with Reeds and a mix of rice and cabbage nearby. Had to move around and find areas with less active Pike to find the bass. Conditions were really tough, but the fish were definitely in the fall feeding season, pick the right day and the fish will be easier to catch and locate through the fall season in the shallow reedy areas.
