Some where on Youtube there is a video from DTro who used to post on this page, where he and another guy pull in some Sturgeon from the Bayport area.  

 

Here it is:

Spent yesterday afternoon wading the upper croix. Water actually seemed a little low. There was lots of floating grass, so my traditional approach of using a fire tiger jointed rapala was unusable. Tried a whopper plopper for a bit, which avoided floating grass better, but I just didn’t have confidence in using it. So since it seemed like the crayfish outnumbered the rocks, I decided to use a weightless Texas rigged plastic craw. Caught 3 smallies, and a pike.

Was planning on bass fishing a small lake today. But as soon as I pulled up to the lake, it started raining ☔️ Waited for a little bit, to no avail. And the forecast didn’t look promising.

I actually target days with inclement weather.  Bright sun and bluebird skies are the exact opposite of what I am looking for.  I don't fish in a thunderstorm, but rainy/cloudy days are a blessing, especially if they fall on the weekend.  Keeps a lot of people off the lake, including all of the recreational boats.  Plus the fishing is almost always better too.

 

Nice sturgeons BTW

That’s commitment.  Love the look on your daughter’s face. 😁  That’s admiration right there.

Dad Word: Harbor Freight 

Emergency rain slicker is compact enough to pack in your glove box, brief case or tool kit.

$2.99  😕

I have plenty of rain gear…nobody wanted to use it 🤷🏻‍♂️

When it’s hot out, sometimes there’s no point anyway.

Nice crappies.  And I think I lean toward muskie too but it would be an easier call to see if the tail was forked or rounded and the pores under the jaw.

That’s a juvenile pike. Light pattern on dark background is ALWAYS a pike. Muskies are ALWAYS opposite.

Soaked some crawlers at interstate park. Lots of bait stealers. Caught my first catfish in forever! Otherwise just a little smallie, and a mooneye.

Slow weekend. Soaked crawlers at various spots above and below the dam. Only a couple mooneye and little redhorse to show for it.

I knew the river was low, but holy cow! I launched at William O’Brien and I couldn’t even make it to the main channel with my little boat!  Decided to take the opportunity and use a Ned rig for the first time ever. Caught 3 little bass. Definitely a win win day! 😁
