Still putting fish in the boat.
The wind made it feel a little chilly this last week on Lake Minnetonka. We even fished in a cold rain Saturday morning. This time of year, you need to dress in layers. If you're out of the wind and in the sun, you might need to take a layer off. If you're in the wind layers keep you warm.
This last week we caught bass, pike, musky and sunfish. Casting spinnerbaits have still been putting fish in the boat. Just pull them over the tops of the weeds and the fish come up and smack it. And also watch your spinnerbait all the way to the boat. The pike and musky tend to hit it close to the boat. If you see a follow keep the bait moving the worst thing you can do is stop. If you stop the fish stops. Do the figure 8 if you need to keep it moving. Most of the fish are still being caught in 6' to 12' of water. But on Wednesday we did catch a few fish in 2.5 to 3' of water.
