Adrift

Probably my best day of 24! Hopefully those fours turn into fives for 25.

Out yesterday west of the metro. Ramp docks were pulled out of the lake. 47F water temp. Fish were aggressive but I couldn't get any big girls. Caught most fish on jerkbaits. Probably the end of the bassin season for me. Lots to do around the property before snow flies.

Yes, it would bother me. My last megabass P5 rod came with a "made in China" sticker on it. They're great sticks but I'm slowly moving to all Loomis and St Croix rods.

Got out for a few hours today with a buddy from Iowa. South metro. 50F water temp was a nice surprise. Was expecting mid 40s after the rain. Caught em on the jerkbait, jig minnow and jig. Probably 15 fish in the boat including four 4#ers.

Got out for a few hours today. West metro water temps were 55F. Didn't seem like the fish were schooling up yet. Caught em everywhere on everything except for the flatside. The pike loved that one.

I had the same temps today South of the metro. Caught a couple strolling but the fish were really hammering the jig in about 10 fow. Weeds are dying but there's still plenty of green if you take the time to look for it.

Thanks. Rapid Marine is only about 20 minutes from me.

Anybody have any recommendations for shrink wrap south of the metro? I usually get indoor storage but this year I'm thinking of wrapping her and sticking her outside.

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.
