    Fished the croix for eight hours today with good success. Pulled cranks all day ended up with 10 keepers all between 16 and 20(three people). Threw back 18 small fish and some really nice white bass. The bass have HUGE guts and running in the 17″ to 18 ” range. Their fun to catch , but terrible on the plate.Water temp is steady at 55 fishing should only get better as the weekend progresses. The fish liked anything yellow / chartruese.FISH ON!!!

    White bass are good for fish fries. Just “zipper” out the red tainted meat and use your favorite walleye recipe.

    Gotta agree with Leo Kam,the whites are okay. This past Aug. on Pepin it was whites or burger king,at least that was all I could catch for about 3 weeks. Zipper out the red meat and I leave a thin layer of meat on skin-also red meat. Get the grease hot and the Busch COLD! YUM-YUM.
