I've never kept and eaten a small mouth and have only kept 2 large mouth my whole life. One I mounted and the other I eat just to see what they were like. But that just me. Well, I've never eaten a rock bass or dog fish either! 😆 -

After 15+ yrs going to pike bay lodge every June I have noticed many more bass anglers in the resort. Also notice many 15-18” smallmouth in the cleaning shack. I would estimate on a daily average 4 of 5 buckets of entrails are of smallmouths vs walleye or pike. Not sure how it is at other resorts but if folks are taking the larger fish for fish fry it could explain the smaller average size of smallies being caught. Just my 2 cents. Largest smallie brought in my boat this year was 19” but fewer 17-18” fish than past years. -

Sounds like it's time to start keeping the smaller smallies for lunch. -

With two muskies under my belt, my best advice is to fish for pike and bass and then let a giant muskie come chomp down on said pike/bass as you reel it in. 🙂 Unfortunately I have no other good advice. -

The guys in that tourney aren't permitted to use live bait though. That makes a substantial difference. Clear water and pressure with nothing but artificial lures makes for a difficult bite. I don't have a theory as to why the average size of smallmouth on Vermilion is declining. The common explanation would be too many smaller fish are gobbling up resources and there isn't enough for bigger ones, but that doesn't seem like a plausible answer in a big lake like Vermilion. Certainly people aren't keeping plus sized smallmouth either. That far north, it takes a bass about 10 years to reach 5 pounds/20 inches in size. -

St Cloud has a good access at Wilson park, Sartell has a nice access off NE River Rd, another access above Blanchard dam on East side off Hilton Rd and at Lindbergh state park...Little Falls has a access right above the dam. Water is pretty high and dirty. Crayfish colors have been good again this week. Smallies have been using anything available that breaks the current so finding them most days has been pretty easy -

Interesting... You're doing better than most. The biggest bass weighed-in during the recent MN Bass Federation tourney was only 4.33lbs. The winning bag was less then 20lbs. To have several over 5lbs during your trip is pretty special. Congrats! -

Question. I have guests coming who may want to fish for muskies. I've cast for them in August along shorelines and at rock piles. Do I fish for them that way in June? Should I troll shorelines or drop offs for them? Thanks.
