Small mouth presentations in spring


Recommended Posts

A buddy has a cabin on the west side and while we have always had decent luck on the walleyes, I was wondering the best way to go after the smallies, as this might give us something to do during the slower parts of the day. Is pitching plastics onto rocks the best way to go? Should I be looking for mid lake structure, islands, rock piles ect or are docks and shorelines a better bet? Thanks in advance and see you on the V.

Time of year is the key---

Need more info----

Plastics is always good and topwater Oh' my can that be just awesome.

Time of year is key to location. May/June is not the same as July/August

if you are talking may...i would say you are on the right track...but even early in the year if its been warm....they will get up on the rocks ecspecially when there is a good wind....points and midlake reefs will work....it will depend of cours on the weather when they spawn....but they can still be catchable....the largemouth seem to be biting real good around that time also....if no bass....go for some big pike with a sucker minnow...there is some fine northern fishing to be had in may...........i like the grandpa analodgy.....heck with everything else to see, hear and what...now a guy can get fake weeds!!!anyway...good luck and fish hard...

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
