Largemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSummerStructureDocksFished Minnetonka on a busy weekend. Started on the weedline and caught numbers of fish up to 2.25 lbs. When the sun got high and the traffic got bad, we went shallow and fished a lot of docks. Noticed the weedline was very shallow on the docks we were fishing with sand bottom. Switched to a medium diving crankbait and ground it on the bottom between docks. Ended up with 3 nice bass, 2 over 4 lbs. A very fun day with friends for a good number of fish.

WalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Deep (20'+)SeasonFallStructureRock PileWe drove around to a lot of different humps that topped out around 22’ with access to water over 30’. Be sure to find the best rock on any given hump before you start fishing. Also be sure to look for clouds of perch and baitfish. Snapping a #7 jigging rap on deep rock seems to land some big fish.
