little north of brainerd-bass fishing

[st.crioxfishin]

I'm heading 45 min north of brainerd tommorrow for the next week. I was just wondering if anybody had been bass fishing up there in the past few days and how you have been doing. I'm wondering if the bass are still spawning or if they are into the postspawn now.
Any info on how the bass fishing has been and where they might be at would be great.

I'll be up that way to for this weekend. I'll be in the Atkin/Deerwood area. I think we are going to hit da sippi which will be new for me. I can't wait!

Memorial weekend the bass were still very shallow about 30 min N of Brainerd. The first weekend in June the bass in Alexandria were in 6" to 6 feet of water. My guess would be that the bass up north will be heading toward the inside weedlines...probably about 6-8 feet of water depending on the lake. I'll know for sure after this coming weekend. Check the Brainerd Lakes forum also.

Thanks for the info. I just got back yesterday and you were right. The bass were in about 6-10 ft of water in the weeds or on the edges during the day. In the morning and afternoon they would move up shallow (1-4ft). I was also able to get a few bass on a slop frog in the lily pads and the rice patties that are beggining to come up.
Overall I caught around 100 bass, 20in. being the biggest(it only weighed 3lb 8oz though). On the best day up there I caught 25 bass 15-17.5 inches.
