Bass pics & trout out of Crow Lake « Result #1 on Jun 30, 2007, 11:49pm »
June 28, trip. Boys from Chicago. I took these pictures this day.
The boys landed upwards of 80 smallies, one lake trout. All fish were released except for the lake trout which was eaten. We also fished Lake Of The Woods which provided some good pike & bass action.
Smallmouth Bass Early Season « Result #4 on May 4, 2007, 10:25am »
The smallmouth will be in the shallows and on the nests in Lake Of The Woods in early June. You can catch a good number of bass working over logs and rocks along shorelines with a drop off depth of 14'- 25'. A little later on they can be found more prominently in shallower bays and sand beaches. I use shallow running rapalas, rooster tails, meps spinners and beatle spinners. Also a variety of top water lures. Crow Lake bass come to the shallows near the end of June. These bass are fantastic to fish. I site fish them and can remember were many a log and bolder lies. This allows the fisherman to immediately target a known hole because the smallies are territorial and will frequent they same structure each season for the most part. For a highly active fishing trip these bass are a great option. They can be caught in large numbers throughout the fishing season. Different methods for the different times of the year.
