belak00 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Hello everyone and a big thank you to all the members and admin's that make this site great. Well, I'm from the north which in most cases is considered walleye and northern country. I started fishing around 4 or 5, not sure. I've fished mostly walleye, with the occasional northern/musky. Living so close to the St. Louis river it's hard not target wallys. Well long story short my in-laws have a cabin on a chain of lakes. The lake there cabin is on is a shallow lake, 8' max depth, and thats very generous. I take my son out in the pontoon and fish for blue gills. I' ve noticed in the channels between the lakes there are many Large mouths. So recently I decided to try my hand at bass fishing. I've come here to extract the wealth of info from the dedicated members. I've been out once this year(for bass) used a in-line spinner and caught a small sm it looked more like a rock bass to me but not sure. It had red eyes and was very light in color, and a couple of small northerns. Not having the right tackle yet, what would be a good direction to start. Should I start with plastics, or a spinner, or both. I think I will accumulate my tackle slowly, but just wondering what opinions are out there as far as tackle. the waters I will be fishing. St. Louis river.... I have heard there are no LM but SM can be found. This is a large dirty water river flowing on the boarders for MN and WI Birch Lake, WI.... This is a very shallow lake with very clear water, a weedy, mucky bottom. Lots of lilly pad areas and two small channels leading to other lakes. The channels are only a couple of feet deep and I can see the bass in there. They spook when the pontoon goes past them. They look like large mouths from the surface but I guess untill I catch one I won't know. Robbinson.... Small deep lake with very clear water, big drop offs 20-30 yards from shore. two small inlets with a lot of weed/lilly cover. It has a weedy bottom. Any advice would be more than welcome. Quote
