My daughter is coming down from the twin cities this weekend and wants to fishin. Anyone haveing any luck in so.mn bass,pike or panfish thanks everyone.

I haven't been out there for awhile, but Lake Frances is usuallya good bet for all three of those species. Trolling cranks in 10-15' would be a good bet for northerns, target the remaining weeds and the grassy islands for bass, also look to the point on the west end of the lake. I haven't fished for panfish out there in the summer, but the east bay has been good in the winter time.

the bite around here has been slow slow for me . went out today and yesterday and it was bad . small bass shallow nothing deep and nothing inbetween. i spent 2 hours today just looking for fish! once i found them they didn't wanna bite! i'll be on washington sunday with side imaging looking for things. then french on wednesday. but take a gander at the astro tabels and this whole week is bad until the 10th .

Astro Tables?

ya they are in the bass master mags and some other places too .

JD If you have a salmo hornet 4f gold/metalic orange try trolling it at 2.3 mph in 8-13 fow.If your fishing shallower put on a salmo shallow bullhead.In the last week these 2 lures have produced crappies like crazy. Northerns 9lb,6lb 3@4lbs and 3 eyes 16-19 inches.Also catfish galore with 2 of them being around 9lbs. 2.3 mph is the key to the bite.Good luck...hope this helps you catch a few.

Don't feel bad JD, I was on Tetonka today for a couple hours & didn't really even see anything & caught the same. There were some crappies & sunnies to be had by those looking for them, but not my target for the day.Those are some messy weeds/slime to deal with. Went over to Francis & marked fish all over in the weeds, but were all sunfish from what I found. I did manage one bass & a fish that got off from an area I saw minnows skittering around on the surface. Thought it was big but it was 1 1/2 lbs. & alot of weeds with it. Tried many areas & many techniques, but to no avail. MUCH better water conditions though. Water temps were 70-71
