Got Bass?

Tim, Rachel, and myself ventured out for an evening of bass and walleye chasing.  The largemouth action was decent but the walleye action was a bit slow.  As the water continues to warm two things are going to happen.  First the bass are going to move into the shallows and spawn very soon.  Second, the walleyes are going to get more concentrated on there favorite post-spawn summer reefs.  We are catching the walleyes on jig's tipped with either a minnow or a leech. 

 

The theme to this spring has been a late ice out and a cool spring.  This results in numerous things.  One of the most notable is the lack of weeds.  The weed growth is behind just like the water temps and the fish.  If you can find good green weeds you will find bass close by.  Many of there usual haunts have no weeds yet.; therefore hold no fish.  I am at Mille Lacs while I write this report, I will have more to come soon.
