So I'm in nothern minnesota at a very small lake (4 point lake) and can't figure out the bass. Were usually up here earlier in the summer and never late summer. The lake is very weedy and the entire shoreline is lily pads. Usually we throw frogs in the morning then spinnerbaits and jigs when it gets hotter but they just are biting this year.. Any suggestions?

Lot of that going around right now, it's that time of year.  

 

I plugged it into DNR lake finder and only come up with Five Point Lake near hackensack.  No Four Point Lake showed.

Yeah thats the lake. The name bounces around depends on where you look.

Have you tried going deep with drop shots and ned rigs?  Texas/carolina rigged craws and bigger worms down deep too. Also, try a popper over the weeds late in the day or early instead of frogs. I slammed bass on poppers early and late last weekend in like 8-10 feet of water over weeds. 

 

I've had luck with DT4's lately too, casting and trolling them on the deeper side of the weedline. My point is I think you're probably going way to shallow for this time of the year. Start in the 10' range with bottom contact stuff and work deeper. I was catching bass in 25 feet of water just a few days ago with t-rgged worms and the Ned rig. 

 

I caught fish with wacky senkos in like 8-12 feet too. Letting them fall all the way down then twitching them in. Nothing shallow.. all deep sides of weed edges and points.

Ran into a few throwing a strike king 5xd into some deeper water.

Where you found those fish with a crankbait mark where you caught them on a GPS or a marker in the water and slow down and fish it with a jig or soft plastics such as a drop shot or shakey head or t rig.
