That makes sense. I was fishing with a crankbait and spinnerbait over weeds last year in my kayak and caught a few Northerns, Didn't really catch on to the pattern just thought it was random hookups. I wasn't prepared being that I had never caught one and reeled in a 5# pike on my kayak. It was fun but a pain to get the hook out being that we don't have a lot of fish species with teeth like that in Tennessee. I also actually just got some dropshot hooks and sinkers in from tackle warehouse so I will definitely try that. I'm not experienced with the technique so I'm excited to have the opportunity to work on it and catch fish. You guys might not need it or may have already found it but I have learned a lot watching BassResource videos as I feel like they break things down very well. Just thought I would share that with you all.

That was kind of what I was thinking too. I've been stocking up on plastics and weedless jigs. I also got some chatterbaits and plan on trying them out to see how they work as well. I think just being patient and learning what techniques work best will be the biggest hurdle. In the little time I've fished there I couldn't agree with you more about the lack of interest in bass fishing. When I would ask guys at the dock about bass they looked at me like I was crazy. I was trolling for walleye with my father-in-law and we kept catching nice smallmouth and he didn't seem to enjoy it one bit. Oh well though that's more fish for those of us who chase the funnest fish in the lake! Thanks for the advice and welcoming a newcomer.

Hello Minnesota bass anglers. I am new to the area and will be living in Wilmar which is in Kandiyohi county. I'm from Tennessee originally so Minnesota is going to be quite the change. I know bass are bass wherever you go but was just curious if there is any advice you guys could give this newbie. I have only fished a coupe lakes while visiting last year but it was always for Walleye (In-laws don't like bass fishing. The major thing I did notice was how deep and thick weeds are here so I will def have to adjust to that! Also one last question I have done my research and it seems like Green Lake in Spicer is a pretty popular bass lake. Anyone on here fished it before and if not recommend any lakes within an hours drive?
