Finally got someone to haul my boat out It's been a month since I was last out, thank you Gilbert. We caught around 75 total and kept 45 so we split the fish haul. Several species were caught with most being Yellow Bass and Bluegills. The water temp was 73°.

Yellow Bass/Bluegills and several other species were feeding in the afternoon as predicted during the afternoon major after being biteless in the morning. Caught around 50 total in a 3 hour span with half of that being travel time.

After an extremely hot day at the fair thought I’d try my new swim jig and within a half hour this guy decided to take the plunge

Had a busy day reeling in rough fish, carp and several bullheads plus 8 channel cats, 2 to 5lb range, was able to find a few nice crappies two 12" and an 11" best crappies I've caught in 5 years lol crappies are mostly small in my lakes most under 9 if you can even find them so happy with these. My partner Bruce and I were trolling for walleye as a friend of his has been catching some recently but a no go for us though we had some light hits and Bruce lost a big fish that ate his lunch, he fought it for 5 minutes until it the lure came loose, never did see his fish but a fun busy day. Fish on my friends and tightlines for all.

Bite has been very slow in the Fairmont Chain, mn. Water in pretty good shape except George lake which is green with algae. Trolled and cast for 3 hours looking for bigger gamefish but no hits so decided to hook some panfish and got some keeper gills and tiny yellow bass.
