ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!!!

   If you like catching rock bass and lots of them, Bay Lake in Minnesota should be your next vacation destination. Bay Lake is located in central Minnesota just northwest of Mille Lacs Lake.  It also holds quality largemouth bass, pike, and sunfish.  The water is so clear its like looking through a window. I could see structure seven feet down.  The bottom was made up  primarily of gravel and sand.  It’s a large lake but it is broken up by islands and canals so it fishes like a small lake.

  I skipped senkos and french fry worms under docks. Topwater was productive around the weed lines in 6 to 12 feet deep.   The rock bass and northern pike liked everything I threw  that day: senkos, french fry worms, buzz baits, and poppers.  Those little buggers just wouldn’t give up. The largemouth bass preferred the worms.  If your looking for rock bass I’ve found heaven on earth for you. 

Great place to stay

If you need a place to hang your hat for the night in central Minnesota, check out the Deerwood Motel.  I stayed there recently for a tournament.  The rooms are comfortable, there is boat parking and they have electrical hookups.  They allowed me to check in early so I could get out and pre-fish without having to come back to check-in.  The staff are the kind of people that make you feel like you’ve known them for a long time.  Just down to earth good people.
