Fishing Pics June 23rd

Yes, I know it's been 2 weeks since I've posted any fishing pictures, but the fishing has STUNK since about June 5th, when I last posted to THIS blog.


This 13 inch smallmouth was caught on a Texas Rigged Gulp Floating Crawler. I really like the floating crawler with a 1/8 oz weight texas rigged. It falls slow and stands vertical in the water.



THIS one is caught on a 6 inch jerkbait, I don't remember the brand bait but it really hasn't caught any really large fish, just these 10-12 inch smallies



THIS guy fell off the Reed Runner spinner bait I threw soon as I lifted it out of the water. The camera was right there next to me so I just clicked then let the fish go back to hopefully grow larger.

I caught a couple other small smallmouth bass, but when I say small in THIS case, I mean around 7 inches.

Fish, storm, more June 7th

I went down to the river before the storm, it's one of my favorite times to fish, besides the fishing there's always some great pictures of the clouds/storm rolling in. There's also a couple pictures from the EVENING of June 5th, I went out again after the earlier June 5 post. This will be a LOT of pictures:





The first 3 pictures were 'leftover' from June 5th (Tuesday). The Trains are common in Northern Minnesota, BNSF comes through town a lot.



















The clouds came in on the storm from the previous post with the weather channel's storm warning.. you can see the marble size hail that we got int he first round about an hour at at 3:25 PM. They forecast golfball or baseball sized hail so I hope it stays farther south!

Weather Forecast Today the 7th

Holy crap.. this is the first time I've ever seen a forecast like this picture from the weather channel.

June 5th Fishing Pictures

I ended up sorta 'hiking' to a pool of the river, where this time of year you can catch a variety of fish.. today I caught 1 Northern, 2 Smallmouth Bass, and 1 Crappie. See them below








The last photo, of the sky.. I actually took before catching the 4 fish. I don't really know why but I like pictures of the clouds and stuff like that.

June 1st Fishing Pictures

I got out today for the first time in a few days.. and caught a a few smaller Northern Pike and one 24 inch Pike also. The GEESE have finally brought their young out onto the water so there's a few pictures of them also!

First the GEESE pictures:






The baby geese are already getting large and getting rid of the fuzz they're born with.




Both Pike were caught on Rapala Shad Rap after they were following but missing a gold colored "Silver Minnow" weedless spoon. I caught a couple other really small pike but they really weren't any bigger than the little tiny one in the first picture.
