We targeted wind-blown weed lines in 10 feet of water and searched for fish. Once we located a pod we hung leeches under slip bobbers. The fish were cruising and we had to move constantly to stay with them.

Caught some fish guarding fry in the cuts. Most fish were on outside edges of channels. Wacky rigs excelled but caught some fish on frogs as well.

Windy day at Tonka made it tough to stay still. Couldn't get much bite other than chatterbait in bluegill colors and shad colors. Had to stick to the proven drop shot with a heavier weight (1/2oz+) which always catches fish regardless of weather. Casting weedlines 10-15ft deep. The VMC Redline Series Neko Hook #1 size is a game changer! Before my hook-up ratios were poor. VMC neko hooks for drop shot is a must! Sharp, top of mouth, and had to use pliers to get them out most of the time because the hook secures itself in the roof of the mouth very well.

Fishing docks in 4-5 feet of water produced the most bites with the wacky rig.

We found high numbers of bass located between 3-6 foot on weed flats that were not fully grown in. Fishing docks always works on Minnetonka. The z-man chatter bait was working on the edge of the weed flats espicially with a deep edge leading to weeds.

Largies are all over the place right now, it’s a good time of year to junk fish around and try new baits. We caught fish on over 8 different lures and probably could’ve tried more. They are mostly shallow still but you can find some on deeper weed edges still!
