    My BRO is coming up from St. Louis and would like to catch and release a big bass in a pretty lake or river.We are going to fish the Croix but where to put in is the question. Got some good advice about the lions park access-sounds like I could use my heavier boat with the 25hp. Or we could put in at the Snake River access with my Jon boat and my 3hp-so what is better for big girls?
    Thanks

    I like the Lions Park launch in St. Croix Falls. Much quieter and more peaceful on that end of the river in my opinion.

    I don’t think you can go wrong with the Upper Mississippi or Upper St Croix. Pick a stretch and pick it apart.

    I like fishing flukes and swim baits when I am not throwing top water baits.
