The largies came out to play while their smallie cousins played chicken with a ton of follows…Milwaukee River still runnin crazy glad the lakes been producing tanks

We were crappie fishing right after the water dropped, I wanna say last Monday or Tuesday? Didn't do the greatest but it was a slow day with the water settling out. Caught 15 or so crappie, nothing huge. Looking to get out this Sunday again! There should be more fish up shallow now!

Water temp - 57-60°F Water depth - 16 fow to 3 fow Lure - 2 inch red and chartreuse tube jigs Tactic - vertical jigging fallen timber and lay downs

Thousands of these suckers in this part of the river for spawn migration. I couldn’t keep them off the ned rig if I tried! Some nice smallies to boot as well.

The last two mornings have been calm and gorgeous. This morning, I managed to catch seven decent bass in under an hour.

Thanks to the MN DNR for looking at the evidence and listening to angler feedback to allow year round (currently catch and release) bass fishing!

My buddy had another 5lb 5oz the same day. If he had caught it a month earlier may have been closer to 6lb frame of it was huge just a bit skinny.
