manitoubass2 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 After a few slow weeks, the bite picked up big time!!!! Yesterday I went out and fished the shores and shallows from shore, went 17 for 21, in 5 hours. Those fish had bellies too!!! That doesn't usually happen until mid september, so now I'm all excited, hehe. 7 of those fish weighed over 3lbs, which is great considering I nabbed them in the rapids, biggest one was 19.75" and at 4lbs. Tomorrow, the goal is to take pics of at least 20 fish, from shore. Might go out in the boat too for an evening bite? I'll keep you posted. The plan is grubs on heavy jigs burned through the shallows, but we'll see how it goes. I just have that need to hook fish's Hope you all have a great night and a great day tomorrow! Great fishing OFC, and as always, I'm jealous of those who fish lakers, salmon, carp, musky!!!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 So are you catching bass or walters? Bass. I did catch a few small walters running the rapids though. Just came home for some lunch, then heading back out for the afternoon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Quick update. All in all 32 landed bass yesterday. I took a few small breaks throughout the day when the bite turned cold, then I'd return an hour or so later to the same spot, and the bite was on again! Very fun day, was great weather wise, about 24 no humidity and barely a breeze. Water temps were actually fairly cold, about 70 degrees, down from 74 the day before. Lots of fish, but most were in the 2-2.5lb range today, no real monsters. Also lost about 5 fish. Heading out again here in about half an hour to the same spot. Weather looks calm and partly sunny, water temp a cool 68 degrees. I'll be interested to see how this affects them this am. And on a side note, Jeff Gustafson took home the International Falls bass tourny yesterday, fishing right beside me at one point, and bagged a healthy 19.66lbs of smallmouth bass!!! Nice job Gussy!

Haha that's crazy good fishing Yep, the bite was on hard and heavy, all small fish though. Today was alot slower, but I had two good smallies, 3.5-4lbs, and a bonus 33" pike that fought like a ton of bricks in the rapids! Though it was gonna be a monster, lol.

manitoubass2 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 A few more dinks from the 2 days ago. Lots of 15-17" fish, but the bite turned off compared to the previous days. Water temps are fluctuating way too much, as much as 12 degrees up and down. Even bass arm cant make this one look big! lol, pretty colors though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Good stuff! Looks like a good place to wade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Good stuff! Looks like a good place to wade too. I wish! It's all slippery rock and weird drop offs. I'm just too chicken to wade at that spot, lol. There is a great wading place right around the corner though that holds big walleye in the spring and fall!

manitoubass2 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Got out today as well but only for an hour. Weather was interesting and the water went down again, so so shallow right now. Managed a 27" pike and a 16" smally, and four other small pike. It's funny, every year when the night cools off and the water is low, those pike surround this little rock area of the rapids and pin all the bass in there. Inside the rock formation, all bass. On the outside, all pike! lol A lil' walleye on a DT crank Edited September 1, 2011 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
