Adrift

Congrats!

South metro lake I was on this morning was 68-69F so Omnia isn't too far off. More summer fishing today. Couldn't get anything to chase. Caught a whole bunch of 2# fish on jig and t rig. Lost one decent one at the boat. I'll get her next time.

I was out the other day. Had a few blowups on frogs. Caught a couple punching. Caught the bigger ones out flipping deep grass.

On a related note; my pb muskie was 50.75" and had 3 perfectly healed prop slashes down its back. You aren't kidding about them being tough!

I didn't measure it. Wanted to get it swimming again ASAP and I wasn't sure where my tape was located. I would guess it was mid to upper 30s.

Fished a metro lake today. Fish were scattered but fairly active. Water was 72F. Caught this muskie and it had what looks like a burn behind its gill plate. Anybody seen this before?

Looks good to me.

I'm a fan of the Spunk Shad. A lot of the time I just raw dog it though.

Anybody been on Borden lately? We're in the area for a couple of days for a family get together. The kid and I might try and sneak out early and fish a bit. ETA: The kid wanted to sleep in so I got out solo this morning. Total dinkfest! Caught fish on deep weedlines with wacky worm, swimbait and fluke. Water is 78°

Took the kid out the other day and she got her pb. The only fish we could get to bite were shallow. Could see fish on the graph out on the weedlines but they weren't buying what we were selling.

I haven't fished one but I've handled one. Very light in the hand. Butt length is good. Maybe a touch heavy in the power for me. The Scheels in Eden Prairie, MN had a couple when I was there a week or two ago.

Nice! Just bought a new jerkbait rod.

Finally got out after having to work all last weekend. Was just gonna go for 2 hours (and then again today) but ended up staying out 6 hours. Frustrating beginning to the day with two very good fish shaking loose and then a 3 hour struggle to find anything biting. Had all the rods and baits put away and on the way back to the ramp decided to try one more steep weedline. It paid off! Caught 4 fish over 18" with the best being 19.5 and 4.3#. Second fish had this crazy gash. Still swam off strong. Water temp 64F.

Was out for a bit chasing crappie today. Small south of the metro lake was 59 degrees today. Fishing was excellent! Lots of aggressive fish of all shapes and sizes.

I was on Crystal down in Burnsville today for an hour or two getting the new trolling motor squared away. Water temp was 53.
