Bass in the Perham area

[Flipnripem]

Any of you bass addicts fish the Perham area? I will be on Star this weekend and have not been able to put together a decent day on the lake. Just looking for a day trip I can take my nephew. He does like worming the weed edges. Flip

The Perham area is an area I really like to bass fish. Almost all the lakes are loaded. Big fish, lots of fish, shallow, deep, you name it. However, Star might be my least favorite. If it's possible, I would look to one of the smaller lakes as an alternative to Star. There's about 10 lakes within 5 miles of Star that have decent boat accesses that are much better than Star.

However, if you're bound to Star, fish the West arm reeds and rushes. There's fish there, and I'm sure on the right day you can get into them pretty good. I just don't know what the right day is for that lake.

That's just my advice. Take it for what it is worth.
