First time on this lake and it’s interesting. I spent an afternoon pitching a drop shot and cracking a tube jig around weedlines and caught a fair amount of largemouth, nothing crazy. Weed lines were in about 12 feet. I wish I had a bit more time to explore, but given that I only had an afternoon, I stuck to weedline fishing just to put some fish in the boat. This lake is clear, but not insanely clear as you may read online. The pike have sharp teeth here, so you’ll be cracking a tube and then all of a sudden it is just line and no weight. I did end up getting one of my tubes back from a pike (as pictured) on the next cast after I was bit off. That’s a first for me.

Catching largemouth on deep weed edges with senko’s wacky rigged with a Gamakatsu 1/0 finesse wide gap hook, 10 lb pline floroclear on a Shimano Nasci spinning reel attached to a StCroix Victory medium fast spinning rod. Bass were eating small bluegills on deep weed edges.

The reel, line , and lure were matched with a 6’8 mhf St.Croix legend x casting rod. I positioned the boat on break lines near deep water and fished the jerkbait over deep submerged weeds. With the water being so cold I had to fish the bait really slow. I never felt a bite, just felt weight when I went to move the bait.
