St Paul area reports?

[Lost]

Hey, what's the word on the bass fishing in the St Paul area lakes? I've got someone who wants to hit Johanna and other lakes in that area. Maybe you can point me toward better waters?

Lost,

To be honest with you, Johanna is not a very good bass lake. I'm sure it has its days, but not when I've fished it. If you want action, try Turtle Lake in Shoreview. I believe it's still C&R only on bass, but that makes it even better. I can't think of a technique that hasn't worked for me there at one time or another.

Actually, I would recommend any lake in Ramsey County with the exception of Johanna. Someone, please, tell me different.

Thanks Ray.

I hit Turtle this morning for about 2 hours. 22 bass. Some nice and some little ones. I found them both deep and shallow but the docks were producing bigger fish for me. Everything was on plastics with an ultra slow presentation.. Threw a Manns -1 for a while and only got one. Get there early. I got off the water around 8:30AM and the parking lot was full.

Good Luck!!!!!
