Deitz Dittrich Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Recoil- what you running for a boat now?.. Mark told me you got another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECOIL Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Juan Grande- white spider grubs on 1/8oz mushroom heads. The mayflies were going nuts but we managed to tough it out until about 10:45pm. We did also catch a few early morning before sunrise on cranks.Deitz- Found a good deal on a Triton TR21. It's no Bass Cat, but it works.

Craigums Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I was on the big lake on saturday since I got a place not to far... You are right LOTS of mayflies the little guys were on a suicide mission too, I watched hundreds crash right into the water and die... You know if any of you guys wanna go smallie fishing on the big lake I know a good place you can crash/charge the boat up not far from the SE corner of the lake Did I mention I like going out fishing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Grande Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Nothing beats an 18 hour day on the water! That would explain the racoon eyes in your pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthothand Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Actually Juan that is a birth defect that we both coincidentally suffer from. That was pretty crazy fishing smallies in the dark. It got dark earlier because the bugs blocked out the sun. Twas nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2fish Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I am not sure Juan, sounds like a fish tale to me. No fish can be stupid enough to be caught by the guy that was holding the 20" fish.....Got any pics of those 15" crappies from URL???

Juan Grande Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well, the guy in that pick wanted to fish with a 4' ultralite with 1" white Mr.Twisters for 4lb smallies. After about 4 missed hook sets he switched to a heftier rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fish Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yep, he doesn't look like the smartest kid..... Can you actually catch fish on that setup, some would say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Grande Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 He'll outfish most people 3:1 with that crappie setup, but that average bass he catches is 10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fish Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Must be some dumb fish.... Do you or him ever catch any fish when a guide it not putting you right on top of them? I fish a lake in the east metro where we do really well on the bass.... It is a devilish lake if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Grande Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 LOL, I was the one that gave you spots to fish there last year remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fish Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So you do know who this is..... hehehehe. It was fun ripping on JP for a while.Thanks alot for that spot by the way, that was a blast catching them on live bait. I am heading up on Sat. to the Battle Lake area for a week vacation with the family. There are smallies on this lake I will be on too.... Hopefully I will get some nice pics.

Juan Grande Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Sounds like fun, good luck! I'll be out on Lake Washington in Dassel this weekend. There's smallies, but I'm going with two walleye fisherman so it could be a struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigums Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I was out on the east side on sunday and got skunked. The water was extremely murky from all the wind. mixed with the bluebird sky it was just a tough situation. Did see 3 muskies and caught a PB walleye though. Im going to wait until we get a nice calm day again and i'll try bringing the little boat out there to see if i can get some of those ML smallies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RECOIL Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I was out in the hurricane on Saturday. Mostly small fish, but a few in that 19-20 inch range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 That lake is going to BLOW UP in a few years. A lot of small bass and walleyes right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Grande Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 About 90% of the smallies I catch out there are 17-20 inches. I either catch big ones, or don't catch anything. Good to hear others are getting some of the next generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigums Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I am going to try some rockpiles for some ML smallies, What baits should I pack along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Suicks, Cowgirls and Mogambo grubs...... Those smallies are huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The basics, tubes, grubs, stick worms, topwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Grande Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Not sure how fast you guys usually fish tubes, but there was a cool article in this month's In-Fisherman about snap/speed fishing tubes for smallies on big water. Combines the fast presentation of a crankbait or spinner to cover lots of water with the effectiveness of a tube. You pretty much never stop reeling and almost fish it like a jerk bait.

Cecil Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have seen Al do this with a small jighead and a 4" senko as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
