MN Lakes Area 14

love the baby d bombs!

Tournament on Rush (chisago) 6/6. Fishing was real slow. Most guys found theirs West side, southern bay. Deep in grass. Cold front came in and really kept em tight. Wish I had better news.. next tournament 6/14 Green. I'll try to let you know how that goes.

Interesting. I may try that sometime

Hey congrats man!

Which Pelican do you speak of BIG SKY?

What's the good word gentlemen?

The rivers can be good also!

Maybe a football head jig, or could I use just a plain 3/0 and dig up the worms myself?

Sweet video!

I prefer the full cork handle. So I'd go with the Crucial. However, the I've picked up the Zil, and it sure seems sensitive!

The fishing hall of fame in Hayward has all kinds of old lures from the past. It's really fascinating. The one that stood out the most to me was an actual stuffed chipmunk with hooks on it... it was pretty crazy!

Try to pick up what your lake has to offer most. My lakes have abundance amounts of craws. Reds, oranges, browns, and blue too! Or maybe they feed more off the baitfish.. Once you know, base your colors more off that. And when you do figure it out, it's gonna change the way choose all your colors on your home lake!

Hologram Shad.. I bought a pack of these at a sportshow 2 years ago, and last summer I had them out in my box. I tried one just to give it a shot, and the smallies tore them up! Only problem is, I cannot find this color at all locally.

They're just being real picky. Plain and simple. You put a lindy and plain hook with a live minnow and you'll nab every one of em up!

I love catching the bronzebacks! I was into the smallmouths before the bucketmouths, mainly because our lakes don't hold largemouth, and i'd have to say my biggest is somewhere around 21''. Never had a scale..don't even want to try and guess the weight
