Minn, Detroit Lakes fishing report, windchill in effect

[throttleplate]

Went fishing tuesday afternoon, cold, wind blowing into our face from the bank at 15-26 mph, cloudy, rainy. Temp was only 60 and with the wind it had to be in low 50s or hi 40s as my nose was even running. I put on a sweatshirt and then a heavy jacket with winter knit hat.

Threw out a square bill and caught a few bass 2 lbers working a channel by a small culvert and along side the weeds dragging it down and letting it pop up and sit repeat.

Wife on the square bill caught a 5 lber grrrr. After the square bill bite ended went with a tr rigged rage menace got 0, then a tr rage craw 0, then put on #956 senko and first cast on tr rig got a bass, then a few more. Why do i even bother with the creature baits as the senko just does it all as i use broken senkos for trailors on jigs also.

 

After the senko bite it was now 8.30 pm cloudy and drizzly and gettin cooler outside i put on a rapala rip stop and caught a couple more just jerking it 2x and let it rest repeat. Then for the heck of it i put on a storm swimbait caalled the walleye and it caught me 1 fish which was my biggest at 4lb.

 

I tried a frog for an hour in the pads and had 2 very weak hits maybe even sunfish and then tried spooks with no hits.

We also went out fishing july 3rd and it was super hot and wind into our face from the bank at 25 to 30 gusts, jet skis and boats made waves  worse crashing over my shoes. I had bad day as i was running around trying all different lures and caught 1 dink and 1 northern.

Wife caught a 5lb and a 4 lb along with 4 dinks all while patiently sitting in her favorite spot and casting out tr yum senko in copper crush and working it in her secret fashion which she ummm taught me on tusday so when i caught all those bass tuesday she now claims its because she taught me how to fish the texas rig to catch fish.

I will go along with her on this one because if she did teach me 1 thing its to be more patient and let it sit a few seconds more than i usually do.

no pics of wifes fish, why? she has caught so many 5 lbers last year and this year allready that its no big deal to her but to me it is when i catch one. I like to hold the fish and show the lure i caught it on. Her best last year was 7 lb mine was 6.

 

She has a uncanny knack for always catching the biggest and the most and she uses a $60.00 pflueger reel with braid and a $10.00 rod and will not use any other rod. I put her reel on another rod and she hated it.

 

Here again is her best fish of 2020
