“Rebel Pop R tiny”
for some fun topwater action.
This is our favorite bwca top water lure.
cast it. just let it sit after 6 seconds give it a little twitch. let it sit again. In the bwca the beds were right next to shore. even in the bushes if the water was high.

two years ago i was at a really clear lake. I could see the spawning beds for 60 ft away. 8ft depth. When the lure Hit the water. i could see the swmallmouth slowly rise and either suck it in or pop it away. They would not come back for a second look. These same fish would not even look at a crank bait swimming by. With a worm or jig, i would have to set it in the middle of their nest before they would pick it up to move it out of their nest.

I saw you 2013 post in Depth Outdoors. Tried your email but did not work.
June 18 my brother and i are doing our first fishing tip to Saganaga
And were wondering if you would like to share any fishing spots?
Our main focus will be spawning small mouth followed by some walleye fishing in the evenings. maybe some lake-trout during the day.

I hope you are still in good health , and found someone to take you up to the BWCA .
Outward Bound is another place you could go for an adventure. I went 30 years ago and we had a elderly gentlemen on our tip to the Bear Tooth Mountains in Montana. Builds team work
Thanks…
