Smallmouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileFish were hard to come by but managed to grab a few nice ones fishing rock offshore. Swim jigs fished slowly, bouncing off the rock worked best. Could not get a fish to bite the drop shot or a ned rig.

CGrazBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth 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.

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.

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

We 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.
