Bass on Maple Lake; me no find them(yet)

[Mark Christianson]

Anybody have any sure fire hints on where to get some bass on Maple Lake(west of Buffalo)?

I have league there this week, and I am concerned about my chances.
I really stink on that lake.

[SluggoMaster]

Try the point on the northeast end of the main lake. There are fish there most of the time, albeit, deep sometimes. Else, find some isolated vegetation around the lake, and flip/pitch it. Also, the outside edge of the weedline seems to produce for me. Good luck!

[Mark Christianson]

Any specific techniques?
I am going tonight to try again.

Its funny how some lakes are so hard.
My friend in the DNR says that Maple is an awesome bass lake for numbers and quality.

[SluggoMaster]

I used to struggle on that lake as well. There are many toothy critters, so be prepared for that. I would use crankbaits on the deep weedlines to find fish. After you find them, use tubes, senkos, or pig-n-jigs to find more inactive fish. Depending on the weather/conditions, I have been know to catch a few on topwater frogs/rats, and such.

[Mr Special]

You'll have a Ebass with ya right? He can catch bass in a toilet.

[Mark Christianson]

Well, I have considered Maple to be a toilet with the success I have had out there, so it should be perfect!

Senkomaster,
The toothy critters are OK by me too. We can measure those in addition to the bass.

I filled Ebass in on Maple. Enjoy...

We found some bass, but they were all small. Oh well, blame it on the high pressure. Not to mention two fishing leagues were out there to. It was a nice night to be out weather wise. Thank BLB for taking me.

[BigMike]

WHAT!! BLB & Ebass went out without the smallie magnet?

[Mark Christianson]

There isn't any smallies.

Actually my son came with too. I have not forgotten about you.
With you on vacation for the last 3 weeks, the planning sessions were already underway.

Ebass
They weren't all small, they were "scorers" man!

[BigMike]

Ebass, to us they would be considered small... but to BLB, they were probably the biggest bass he's ever caught! LOL Just teasing BLB.

Speaking of big fish, Ebass said he had a picture coming of that 21'' fish he "supposedly" caught but I haven't seen it yet. But then again, I said I caught a 21.5'' (I had a bad picture with my cell phone cam and could only make out the shadows). I'm starting to see a trend, BigMike always gets the BIGGEST bass.

Why have the emails been so quiet lately? I have all of Saturday to fish! My lady is leaving on Saturday AM (dropping off at airport at 7:30am) then I'm heading to the 'sippi! What are you guys doing?

[EBass]

I keep fogetting to call that guy to get that pic. I WILL though. You better believe that.

I'm going to Wisconsin with my Mom and Bro to visit my Aunt and Uncle on the WI river. It's muskie heaven over there, but I want smallies or eyes. It'll be cool as my Bro and I haven't fished together since I was like 12. I'm 30 now. So yeah long time.

Good luck tonight BLB and if it's all about the points then so be it. I do have a suggestion for you though that I won't put on here. So I'll shoot you an email.

Later,
EBass

[Mark Christianson]

I am headed north tomorrow morning too.
Not for much fishing though.
We have thistle problems at my Dads farm, and the county is now involved. Cripes.

Ebass,
No email yet. Where is the hot tip??????

[EBass]

You've got mail BLB
