Thanks much. So Sunday could be rough. Cool, sunny

Great report thx

Is it worth it to hit the Mississippi with the waterflow this high?

Well, we know of one 6.28 pound bass caught yesterday

Congrats!

Agreed. Had to go deeper, near drop off with big jig. Nothing shallow

Sunday gonna be nice day- low winds, warm. I can’t decide: Mnpls Chain or North Arm Bay. Might save the chain for a windy day.

Good point. For example I’ve been on ULTRA clear water this week but NOT doing well on traditional natural colors. Instead the dark color of black and blue large jigs was consistently all they wanted.

Great bite today on swim jigs- when they’re going like this it’s really good for confidence in large jigs. I’ve been too light for too long! Also upped to larger Chatter Specifics? The traditional cold water susp jerkbait?

While I like the Slither Jig, I do not like $8.00 pike bite-offs....so back to 4.5 inch tubes. Hard to tell if it matters anyway.

Switched from stained to ultra-clear water today- totally a fall pattern. No wind, high sun mid afternoon and the shallow bass bite was on! Chatter over the tops. Larger northerns in 6 feet confirms fall

Yesterday the fish waited til low light. Not fall yet I guess

I bank-fished the west side with a fluke and a swim jig. I have used my kayak there before...nothing

How are Harriet and Calhoun these days? Tried Cedar to no avail

Congrats- I got me some slither now!

I see your profile mention Mnpls Chain. I cannot figure it out! What's the secret - it's your favorite

Well I tried Medicine today - nada. I did lose a couple swim jigs on pike. Not a good day.

Favorite color? Favorite color for metro?

Yes but don't you need to know which lakes contain 5 pounders?

Watched it live stream. Was cool to "be in the boat" with the leaders as they fished

Whopper Hopper crushed on the river today

Yes, I did best on the shadow side of rock islands with crayfish crankbaits

I'll stay away

What is smallmouth fishing on Mille lacs doing these days?

Today the fish mostly said no thx
