        Ledges

      During a calm week of light winds and bright sun, we had to use a variety of techniques to find active fish. Biggest regret was not to bring minnows on our camping trip. Instead, we had wimpy leeches (jumbo's were scarce to non-existent in MN apparently) and crawlers. We used a minnow trap and caught about a dozen small to medium blunt-nose minnows at our campsite. We marked a lot of fish on steep ledges in 28-37 ft. A jig and minnow enticed several to strike, but it was not hot and heavy. The drop shot with crawler and a jig and crawler also worked on occasion. Jigging raps also caught fish. Fish bigger than 15 in were scarce and we caught a ton of really tiny walleye. We marked clouds of bait fish all over the place and many walleye we cleaned had minnows/small perch in their stomach. Smallmouth were very difficult to find despite scanning reefs and casting shorelines with tubes, ned rigs, and crank baits.

      Smallies are pulling out deeper after spawning. A medium sized swimbait is a great way to cover water around old spawning areas and points were they are pulling out:
