Outing was for June 3rd, 2026. Temp was in the low 80's with winds out of the south at 10 to 15mph. Water was very clear. Very bluebird sky. Overall, we struggled this outing. We lost two fish in the first 30 minutes that really put us behind. We mostly tried to fish reed spots near docks and had some action, but not enough. We only caught 4 keeper bass all night. Had several good fish roll on a frog, but no real takers. Caught fish on a mixed bag, one on a spinnerbait, one on a frog and two on a senko. On to the next one and hope for a better day!

White Bear Lake continues to be good for bass fishing with a drop shot. I caught 4 bass and 4 pike. Most of the fish were in 14 feet of water.

I competed in a local kayak tournament this past weekend and took home the win. I caught all of my fish on a frog and flipping outside edges of isolated reed beds. The water temp was mid-70s and the bluegills were actively spawning. There were wolfpacks of bass hanging inside of the reed beds and they would move in/out throughout the day. The frog bite was hot in the morning and then the bite switched to a flipping bite by 11am. Long pauses (3-4 seconds) on the frog worked best in the morning to elicit larger bites.
