Bass fishing
August 11, 2025
The bassin has been good!
The bass fishing has been the best bite lately. When you find a school spot lock the trolling motor and keep casting at them. On Sunday we caught close to 20 bass at one location. The Ned rig has still been the best bait for us. We are still catching a few pike but not as many of them at this time.
The weather has really cooled off the last week. The water temps have now dropped into mid to upper 40's on Lake Minnetonka. The full moon we had last week did help put some walleye into the boat. The biggest one was this 27"er. But we are still catching fish that are good eater size 16-19" too. Trolling crankbaits in 4-8' of water is still working, but minnows under a float will work too. The best time for us has been just before it gets dark out or just after. Put those headlamps on. This might be the last week in the boat, but we will see what the weather brings us. I have been booking quit a few fish house rentals this last week. So, if there is a date you are looking for do it sooner than later. The corporate groups are locking them down to make sure they can get most of my houses for their big groups. Or if you're just looking for 1 house on a weekend my Saturdays fill up pretty quickly. The ponds are starting to get a little ice on the edges, so we know it's a start and won't be long before old man winter shows up.
The fish are still hungry.
Still putting fish in the boat.
