Weather was mostly sunny with a slight breeze. Caught 9 bass and 1 pike. Most fish were found in 3-6 fow in sparse lilly pads but I also caught a few off docks and a swimming raft.

I love this lake. I have fished it for over 30 years and it still produces large fish, a true hidden gem in mpls. Bring a kayak to get on it. Largemouth are in shallow water eating baitfish. Slow moving shallow crankbaits proove effective as well as tubes and worms off grassy ledges.

First day back on the water and it was a good one!! Me and the hunny got on a nice bass bite fishing ned rigs around weed lines, with good size and numbers!! Key to getting bites was dragging the bait rather than hops along the bottom.
