Schooling Bass
This last week we have been seeing the bass schooling up. On one of my trips my clients caught 20 bass in one location. The grandpa caught 3 bass in 3 casts. They seem to be in or near the thick weed cover. The Ned rig has still been the best bait. We are still catching a few pike on the deeper drop offs.
The ice is growing slowly, but the fish are biting on Lake Minnetonka. The underwater camera is loaded with sunfish during the day.
The sunfish bite has been good. Also catching crappies, bass, pike and walleye on Lake Minnetonka. The ice is good for driving to the houses.
The Ice houses for rent are now out on Lake Minnetonka. We lost all of the snow, so it is slippery. I recommend bringing ice cleats for a fun and safe trip.
