August 27, 2008 on Leech Lake

Today Joe and I decided to do some panfishing together, so we started down by the Birches in 12 feet of water and drifted toward shore with the aid of the 5-12 mph wind out of the west. We used jigs tipped with 2" Gulp lime-green grubs and caught numerous perch, crappie and rock bass. Joe even hooked a pike.

After an hour or so of catching panfish, we moved our Lund 1800 IFS to the reeds and grass in front of Norm's cabin to do some bass fishing. We switched to 4/0 offset hooks and 5" Senkos rigged weightless Texas style. We each caught a nice largemouth bass in the neighborhood of 18".

The temperature today was 72 degrees and the water temperature had dropped to 71 degrees.
