Spirit Lake report

I stayed at the campground from the 18th of July till the 23rd. The perch bite is still going on and there are some sizable fish being caught on wigglers. I fished along the old footbridge at the north end of the lake and caught a bunch of largemouth bass. On my 3rd cast with a double #10 bucktail I hit a big bass that was around 7+ pounds but he flopped at boat side and came off. It was the biggest bass I have seen here. I also hit a 2.5 pond smallmouth on a jig. The bass fishing was great they seemed to hit everything I threw at them. I was fishing for muskies and pike mostly but never seen anything at all.

Nice job, did you try perch’n over by Stoney Point?

Who is the guy walking on water over your right shoulder?

Muskies have been tough this year in the IGL’s, I fish them almost daily and have 3 to show for it, just seeing one is a good day this year and even thats tough…

There was a guy and his son wading in the water and fishing for smallies and they were catching a bunch of small 1/2 to 1 pounders so I have them to thank for this fish. I gave them space and stayed off the rock so they could fish and I caught it on slightly deeper rocks in the water.
