02 June 2025 ~ Lynn's Stick Bait Smashfest

Lynn and I were out in the old Town canoe on Lake Minichuck.

This typical early June northern Michigan day started out windy and in the low 40’s

and finished up a little less windy by afternoon with air temps reaching almost 80 degrees. 

Accordingly it required more layers to begin the day, than it did by the end.

 Fishing was slow to start. 

This winter’s record snow fall has left the lake quite a bit higher offering us access to areas not previously fished. 

So we decided to venture into and fish some of that.

We were not really able to put anything together in any of those ‘newer’ areas.

So, I fired up the 1959 paddle machine (aka me) and headed back over to what has been productive recently. 

Of course it was directly into the wind.

Once there, we worked the inside weedline with . . . .wait for it . . .  4 and 5 inch Texas rigged Senko’s. 

Not sure color would have mattered but we started getting bites on watermelon and just stayed with it.

I got a few fish but Lynn was just ridiculous.  I hardly had time to soak a bait before she was hooked up again. 

This went on pretty much until we left.

Lynn’s been through a lot and the smiles seen here tell that story best.

She cleverly tired you out with all the canoe paddling then gave you a paddling with the bass :)
