Minnetonka Smallmouths?

Has anyone ever had any luck with smallies west of the main lake??? You don't have to say which spot, just a general location. I find it interesting that all the fish are located on the main lake side.

I talked to a guy at the North Arm ramp a couple weeks ago and he said he fishes smallies mostly on the west end. It surprised me as I have never stumbled into one on that end either. He said he fishes deep weedlines for them. Claimed to have landed a 4 1/2 that day also....for what it's worth.

I myself have never done squat on the west lake.. but say east of Narrows channel I have done quite well on smallies.

I once caught 2 four pounders on consecutive casts on the west side. Haven't caught a smallie there since then. I caught them on other spots but not as big. Fish very sharp drop offs with milfoil.
