Visited the Lake Today

[rps]

I caught one heavy fish. A drum. No picture.

I caught a small but nice smallmouth around 12 inches. I had a small largemouth on for about 10 seconds. That was it before the wind came up.

My positive take? In the last few trips I have caught smallmouth and a walleye. I must be in Minnesota.

The negative take? I have not figured out how to take advantage of that. Do you suppose I need to buy some Daredevil spoons?

You need some northern pike for the true Minnesota fishing experience.

Tie on a Spoonplug and power troll. Sooner or later you'll find some locational patterns, then you can work 'em over. Best way to whip new water.

Wow. A spoonplug.

I haven't heard or read about those in many years. Fishing Facts often featured Buck Perry. Thanks for the memory.

Yeah, I didn't mean a real spoonplug of course, but I knew you'd understand. 🙂
