Fished hard for four days on Cross / Pokegama and the Snake River in Pine City! We found big fish in all three bodies of water but they were scattered quite a bit. Natural colors seemed to work well with a neko rig or jig flipped around wood and docs. My buddy in the picture caught our biggest fish, had the body of a 6 but weighed about 4.5. On tournament day we had a few nice blowups on the frog but the big girls just didn’t commit to it putting us in 5th place overall on what seemed like a tougher bluebird sky day. Congratulations to the winners!

Went fishing for largemouth and ended up having a blast catching white bass! These things were schooling everywhere on the lake over shallow flats near the 4ft weed lines. They were hitting top water and spinner baits. The bass man compact spinner bait was the ticket for the most bites but more fun was really coming from the pop max on those explosive top water strikes! We’re still slightly within a full moon window and the weather was overcast all day which got these neat fish biting! Fun times.

Right at the cusp of the Fall season I visited Cross and Pokegama which became a heavy favorite of mine in my earlier tournament years. The fishing has been average to dismal out there the last few seasons, but if you catch it on a good moon cycle it can be an outrageous bite. However, it was an average bite the day I went out. Normally flipping dead timber, deep docks, and the Snake River can show promises during these days. For whatever reason this outing was differently. I find my most success throw or skipping a weedless Ned Rig around deeper timber and soaking it. When everything else was failing - this really shined for me and saved the day. It is a good thing to try if you are having a bad day. I highly suggest using 'weedless neds' with this type of fishing or you will lose tons of ned rigs. Fish on! Oh- if you found the baitfish (bluegills, perch, or minnows) you would find the bass.
