Meh.....that sums up my morning of fishing

[RumRiverRat]

Felt more like October 2nd instead of June 2nd.

Post frontal plus post spawn and extremely clear water does not equal success.

Started out with a swim jig shallow around docks and clumps of Curly leaf trying to locate any fish still up shallow. That resulted in 1 small bass and losing 2 jigs to Pike, also landed 3 upper 20's low 30" fish.

Spent the rest of the morning fishing a rock point. Fished 3 feet 20 feet. Shakey head and a 4" finess worm got me bit and put 2 small bass in the boat. Drug a 3/8oz Football jig and chunk trailer all over the rocks. Lost a jig and had a nice bass come unbuttoned at the boat.

Slow rolled a big spinnerbait down the point and put a 33" Pike in the boat.

Need the weeds to grow and the water to warm so I can start chuckin frogs an cranking weed flats.

Hey, Everybodys definition of success is different but when I hear of a guy catching a handful of small bass plus a few quality pike - that doesn't sound like a bad day to me. I question my abilities and the lake I fish when I hear of a lot of folks having 50 bass days. Maybe I just don't have the mojo but that has never happened to me. On the other hand, it is always a thrill to be out there and I feel thrilled with a 15 fish day. Since my second favorite fish is pike - landing a nice one can make a day!!!

Post spawn bite can be tough. Switch lakes for awhile. Lots of lakes are just getting good right now and will be crazy good as the bass come up and spawn.

Yeah, Sunday AM was a little chilly. I had a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweatshirt and a jacket on and I was still cold.

I actually had an OK morning in the metro. Fish definitely did not start doing much until the sun came out though. Got a few fish on swim jigs in some emerging pads and along a couple inside weedlines, but it was definitely tough getting them to chase anything most of the morning. Ended up catching most of my fish on a straight tailed worm on inside weedlines. Some of the fish were *really* shallow (pulled a couple out of about 8" of water).

Lots of fish on beds too. Could have caught quite a few if I'd been bed fishing...

Considering the post cold front and that it was my first bass trip of the year so I spent half the morning trying to remember how to fish it wasn't too bad.

Got out there for our first tourney on a NE metro lake and within the first hour had our limit of fish in the locker. Found a nice shallow area with a 20' drop off, threw a Yum Dinger shallow and just dragged it down the drop off, most of them were 12" to 13" but we had our limit so now it was time to find the biggin's. Got back into some lilly pads with a brush hog, my partner stayed with the worm and we proceeded to replaced the small ones with a few 15" and 16" and then he picked up a nice 19". Weather was a little chilly in the morning but by 10:30 it was perfect out, just a little breeze and the sun was shining. Ended up in 2nd place with a couple of biggins and the rest aroun 15"

Just a different perspective of how lakes can differ, fishing was good

I was on a camping trip up by St. Cloud.

Friday night fishing was lights out.

Saturday/Sunday was dim. Still managed fish, but far and few between for having 4 lines in the water.

I wore shorts and a cutoff t-shirt all weekend - I think i was a little optomistic friday when i packed my clothes - or lack there of BRRRRR

Just got back from the Chisago Lakes area and did fairly well. Fished for about 3 hours and boated 17 fish. Mostly small males 1-2 lbs. in 5-6 ft. of water. water temp was 67.4 degrees and lots of weeds all over the lake. Tried the first drop off at plus or minus 10 feet and found the girls. 3 at 4-5 lbs. Overall a really nice first time out. Really surprised at the warm water and weed growth.

i was suprised how fast the curyly leaf had come up on chisago. were the girls pre or post spawn? i went looking last week and saw very few on beds with lots of crappies on beds;

[TR21HP]

All post spawn and the beds were full of crappies and sunnies.

I agree. Was on Chisago Saturday, don't know how many we caught...100+ by 2pm. Biggest, maybe 3.5lbs. Once the sun came up, they were biting baits on the bottom a little wierd...tied on a Prop Bee 2 and it was lights out!!! If I went 3 casts without catching one, I was surprised. When the wind picked up, switched over to a noisier NipIDidee...and had the same results...as well, they were pounding PopR's.

I think every bass in the lake was looking up!
