Thank you both! I'll be sure to let you know how we do when I get home.

I'm taking a week long trip to Lake Kabetogoma in September. Does anyone have any good spots to try? What has been your "hot lure" in the past? Thanks in advance.

Lol! I didn't even look at the date of your post when I replied. I'm glad you had a good time on your trip. I will post my report after I get back from my trip. I'm really looking forward to it.

Granola bars, sunflower seeds, lots of water.

Im going up in late May. I cant give you any help because this will be my first trip up there, but good luck and have a good trip.

I'm headed up there in late May. Going in at Sawbill. Have you ever been up there before? This will be my first trip.

We have like a million lakes up here....ok, maybe just 10,000. What part of Minnesota were you planning on taking the trip to? Do you want to go to a commercialized area, or more rural?

I second the Pork in cold water. I also use a pretty heavy jig when fishing deep.

I don't use swivels when fishing senkos etc.

Very good information from everyone. I always try to do two things when fishing the back of the boat. 1. Try not to pay attention to what lure the front fisherman is throwing. Fish the way you would normally fish if you were alone. 2. Try to cast where the front fisherman isn't casting to. Sometimes you can catch one off of one side of the dock post and nothing on the other side.

Darker colored Spinnerbait just under the surface for me.

Welcome!

That is an awesome story! My son is 1 year old and I can't wait to take him fishing.

Thanks for the quick answers. I guess I should have said, I use Power Pro when I fish with a jig. I realize it isn't like worm fishing when you wait for the tap tap. I guess I need more practice "sensing" the strikes. I am going to try the scent with a smaller trailer. Thanks again guys!

Hey all! I was fishing my local lake last week with a Jig. I was pitching into laydowns, weeds, etc. I noticed that I don't notice every bite I get. The water there is crystal clear, and I started to notice that every once in a while I would pitch the jig next to a fallen log/tree and the bass would suck it in real quick then let it go, almost like holding it in their lips. I didn't feel a thing! I don't think I would have time for a hook set even if I did feel it. Is there a trick I am missing? I watch my line every time, and never let the jig fall on slack line.
