Leech Lake area Bass?

[Basscaster]

I am coming around June 7, What a Quality Lake we picked this year and probably the next few years(Anderson's Grand Vu).I need some good bass information. What kind of water temps can I expect(bass spawned?)& how is the water clearity on Leech.What baits should I take up there and especially plastics(color and bait). Spinnerbaits colors for(Bass & Northern). Any great small lakes around Walker for Bass incase the winds are too strong for the day to fish Leech(smallies too)? The more educated I am for my first trip the better Quality trip I will have, I have received a ton of GREAT infomation on the site by reading everyone's posts and my map is well noted.Sorry Wisconsin, I think I found a new state to fish from now on.If anyone ever needs Table Rock information, Just ask.

Get a Fishing Hotspots map for starters and look for the weeds to find the bass in early June. I would suggest Boy Bay anbd Headwaters Bay, including the area east of Bear Island. Spinnerbaits are a great lure for that time of the year. Color is not a big issue, but I like to use white on clear days and darker colors on dark days. The basics.<P>There are several smaller lakes with good bass fishing near Leech too.<BR><P>------------------<BR>Bernie Barringer's 10,000 Lakes Guide Service<BR><A HREF="http://fishingminnesota.com/bernie/" TARGET=_blank>http://fishingminnesota.com/bernie</A><BR>Call toll free 800-890-FISH (3474)<BR>[email protected]

Roy,<BR>Since your staying at Grand View you can go a short distance to the west and fish in Steamboat bay. This harbors lots of nice bass. It is shallow, has good vegetation.<BR>Also try in Kabakona bay. have caught many there too.<BR>Other bass lakes in the area would be Girl, Women to name a couple.<P>Terry Hagstrom<BR>Terry's Guide Service<BR>President, MN Walleye Alliance

Make the run to Boy Bay, fish the center rice patty with jig and pigs or texas rig ten inch worms. The cut banks on the east side of Boy Bay are awesome also, use the same techniques there also. The rice patties will not be grown up at that time and you can use top water, or swim power slugs accross the top. Leech has the largest population of four pound bass in the area, if you spend some time on leech you won't want to go anywhere else.

DITTOS ON THE POWER SLUGS OR TRUE SLUGGOS<BR>BLACK/RED IS ALWAYS A GOOD BET ON THIS LAKE.<BR>OVER THE LAST 22 YEARS OF GUIDING ON LEECH THE BASS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE MORE HARDWARE SHY THEN THEY WERE EVEN 10 YEARS AGO. WE STILL DOMINATE ON TUBES JIG N PORK OR SLUGGO<BR>GENERALLY BL/BLUE BL/RED ARE PRETTY GOOD.<BR>THERE IS SO MUCH AREA TO FISH YOU WILL BE OVERWHELMED. STICK TO THE HEAVIEST COVER RICE MOSTLY IT WONT BE UP MUCH BY THAT TIME OF YEAR. THE BOGS BEHIND BEAR AND WABOOSE BAY ARE GOOD BETS. ONCE YOU CATCH THE MONSTERS ON LEECH (AND LET THEM GO) YOU WONT WANT TO FISH ANYWHERE ELSE UP HERE FOR BASS.<BR>

another spot that i have done good at is the walker narrows in the rice its on the south side of the narrows. or lost lake its conected to the lake u go up to duck point and to the east there is a little bay. it should be pretty easy to find the time of year u will be up there since the weeds wont be so tall. a good lake to try is lake thirtteen its small and really good. i went there last summer and we were there from about 7 till 1 and we caught about 80 fish between me and one other guy. there is a lot of northerns in the lake to caught a few 10lbs. hope this helps u out
