    For those of you that think walleye aren’t the only fish to catch I’m happy to report that the SM bass bite was AWESOME last evening on the ‘Croix. 6′-14’ rocks, rock piles w/current. Senkos, tubes, Torpedos and nightcrawlers. Had a few over 15″ and a bonus sauger to boot. Best action for me this Summer.

    Stevo,

    Nice report. You fishing north of hudson or south? I seem to catch better numbers north of hudson. I love to see the smallies hit topwater baits. I have also had good luck with tubes further south of hudson.

    Steve, I was going to send you a pm. I was out for a couple hours giving one of the mutts a boat ride. I fished a rock edge between Afton and the Kinni. If I was in 12 feet of water with my lindy rig…I had a smallied on in seconds…It was crazy! Man those smallies can pull!

    Glad you got out!

    I tried South a couple of Saturdays ago and didn’t do so well. I was North on Wednesday between Stillsville and Hudson. Once that water gets over 70 degrees those smallies can really pull. I caught a couple of 15’s that I thought for sure were 18″ plus. Plastics really shined that day and topwaters.

    Nice Fishin!!!!!!!!!

    You are absolutely right once that water gets hot they go on super charge!!

    On a bassy note – I am convinced that my best bass are now down near treasure Island casino!!
    I say next time there is a “BIG” bass tourney on the river we get together a bunch of us catch all the good ones and release them north of the tournament boundaries, catch these fish a day or two before the tournament… Because I highly doubt Bengie is going to find his way back home!

    Any way SteveoOOOOOOOOOo and all take care.

    Turkish,

    T.I. Casino? You been down on Pepin? Leaving all the ‘Croix bass for the old Steve-O.

    Heading out today after this storm passes. I’ll throw another quick repo tonight. Little over a month away from my trip with Genson. Still sure I can’t talk you into stalking the Esox with us?
