    Well it gets better. 131 quality bass today and now water is 55 and they started crushing topwater! It’s real simple, pull up to a point or reef and catch 25 on almost every cast and move on. Awesome fishing!

    Sounds like an amazing trip. I’ve got a buddy and his dad that are heading up in two weeks on their annual trip. They stay in Red Gut Bay? Not sure if that sounds familiar to you. Looking at the lake map is mind numbing

    Sounds like a fantastic trip Jim. We're headed to the glacial lakes in SD tomorrow morning. If we catch 100 for the week we'll consider it a good trip
