Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureLaydownsDuring a league night here we were able to secure our limit by fishing the line of bouy's/ emergent vegetation that is between the white bear beach boat launch Ordway's Bar. We fished the the far west side, staying strictly on the north side of the bouy's.. See photo. Cast drop shots as close to the vegetation as possible, bounce slow reel ect, back to boat.. Roboworm worked best. We caught our limit here and lost a few decent ones. Not super easy to catch quality here from my experience, one or two kickers and you got a shot to win. 12-14 lbs.

Drop shot deep (12+ feet) weed edge, coon tail patches. Find the hard bottom to weed line transitions. Utilize your electronics to find those transitions.

Northern PikeTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationActually had this northern follow my bait back to my boat while I was reeling in, just messing around using the shakey head to go just over the tops of weeds like a swim bait. He turned around when he saw the boat, but I cast again and did the same thing and he took it. Might try this again in the future.

Slightly slower than my usual crank bait retrieve, but after thinking about my day of fishing... I'm wondering if I would have gotten better results if I had fished faster. Varied intervals of retrieval with occasional pops over the weed beds and holes in the weed beds
