Jack Griffith
Steamboat Lake (MN)
Jack Griffith reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Topwater (Prop) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Steamboat Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Incredible holiday weekend for catching big bass. Saturday morning i fished for a few hours and caught 7 fish over 18 inches as well as two back to back 20 inch fish. Seems like the bass are starting to beef up for the winter and are actively feeding. I stuck to throwing a black buzzbait with a twin turbo black and blue trailer and they were crushing it! It was an extremely productive way to cover water and target big fish! I stuck to throwing the edges of shallow reef beds and finding isolated patches of Lilly pads produced every time. Drop the lure about 1-3 ft into Lilly cluster and work the buzz bait right off the pads and it was almost guaranteed bite! "
