Me and another MNKFA member were out from 10:45am until 4pm. The weather was great, but the bite was tough. We started in the shallows(<10ft) and could actively see bluegills/baitfish, but I wasn't able to catch anything on the Sleeper Craw or Gantarel Jr. We moved out to where the weed line and drop offs were(8-15ft) and wasn't getting any bites. I switched to a drop shot using a Roboworm and OSP minnow, which ended up being the most successful technique for the day. I also had some bites on the Hover Rig and Rhythm Wag. "Largest "fish of the day came on a wacky rigged Slender Scat as in the shallow weeds near the launch.

Finding 15-20 ft weed edges with hard contour was key. Slow and patient with semi long casts to identified rock or brush or isolated grass while dragging back to the kayak was key. Also found Dt 14 and dt20 was helpuful in less grassy areas.

Early morning, no wind. Fished the east side where the trees were casting shadows over the water. Caught a couple bass on the Whopper Plopper. Most of the rest of my bass came fishing close to the non motorized launch area. The water is very clear, but has lots of submerged weeds. I used the Z-Man Big Blade Chatterbait in blue gill color with a green pumpking craw trailer and picked up more bass.

Working deep points with the drop shot. Bite was slow and had to fight off the aggressive panfish.

Little bass were hitting this almost every cast. Fun night of fishing…nothing big but always fun when they are biting that much.

CrappieTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsBuddy and I were catching a little of everything with this rig. 3 bass, a northern, and a crappie in an hour. Once we changed baits…nothing. If you want to catch fish, use this rig!
