Great ending to the 4th!

After a beautiful 4th of July weekend, Sunday afternoon/evening offered to be a wonderful time to find some footballs on Ten Mile lake in Dalton, MN. We started out in shallower water pitching tubes, stick jigs, and marabou jigs. Then moved to find weed beds in 8-13 FOW. This is where we had the most success catching large and small mouth as well as a couple of walleye. A slow retrieve is what really got them going, jigging every so often. Most of our bigger catches came off of the 5″ tube jigs with a rattle hook. This setup was almost automatic around feeding time. Our fish were in that 16-19.5″ range and boy did they fight hard! We threw any sort of color and it seemed to pay off. Can’t wait to get out again!

Until then, Fish On!

Water Temp: 70’s
Clear Skies
Jigging

Any advice on adding pictures?? I have tried the attachments < choose file route and I may not be doing it right. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Dan – try editing your reply and see if you can add photos to your follow-up post versus your first post. There’s a lingering bug that keeps some people from being able to add photos to the first post in a thread but everyone seems to be able to add them to replies. Obviously we’ll get that straightened out ASAP.

There we go. Thanks, James!

Yes they do youngfry! I’ll take a sore wrist for a nice fish any day! I’m hoping to get out again on Ten Mile here in the next few weekends.

Great looking fish. Sounds like you had a fun weekend.
