Largemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonSummerStructureReedsFished Vineland bay for largemouth. Mostly cloudy, south wind blowing a bit and a storm rolled in mid morning. I found several good fish at the edges of the reeds all along the bay. Buzzbait with a gold blade was the only one I threw. No skirt, toad trailer. Water clarity was fairly dirty for Mille Lacs. Anywhere the depth was closer to 5ft at the end of the reeds was better than the reeds that end in shallower water.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSummerStructureBouldersCame up from Nebraska. The bite was tough on community stuff. Moved to the secret sauce and locked up on two schools of the old ugly beat up ladies. I mean these girls were worn out grannies…AKA the bigs. Had back to back 5+. First time that’s ever happened for me. Great trip and will be back on the big pond soon.

Mille Lacs is on fire. Fished some new water and caught some really nice fish this morning. Focused on 15ft rock reefs and boulders. Drop shot produced the most fish this morning and it is by far my favorite way to catch them. Maxscent flat worm is the best drop shot bait i've ever found, so definitely give it a try.

Drop shot on the edges of the rock reefs was the ticket today

WalleyeTechniqueBobbersSeasonSummerStructureOpen Water/BasinWe were power fishing mud flats on the northeast end of the lake. Most fish were positioned right on the edge of the flats and would hit immediately after dropping on them. We would only drop on suspended or multiple fish. Leeches were the ticket.

Smallies love a tube, was on the tail end of the mayfly hatch and had a pretty good alge bloom on the water witch made it hard to see cruisers. Was getting bit on the fall and just duplicated it all around the shallower water areas.

Fish are kinda all over the place but they are pretty bitey. Just have to find the active schools and its game on!
