Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersSmallmouth were not interested in chasing jerkbaits or fuzz. Switched to the mooch pitching to rock piles and isolated boulders triggered bites. Walleyes were also liking this combo.

Yellow PerchTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSummerStructureReefThe bite on Leech Lake was tough this past weekend. There are a lot of bait fish and insect hatches in the lake right now. Work the deep weed edges and rocks for Perch, Walleyes and Northern Pike. They all seem to be in the same areas. Our best action came with reaction baits and trolling. All along the deep weed lines and rocks.

Fish in the thick of the reeds with a flipping jig. Try to find isolated clumps of thick reeds as those seemed to produce more fish.
