If Mille Lacs seems to be stumping you - head over to Borden and go after some Small Jaws! You will need to put in the time, but if you don't want to - and just want to get to fishing target reed patches for largemouth or go offshore for the bronze backs. It is a smaller lake, with decent clarity so deep finesse tactics tend to prove to be beneficial and successful if you have the patience and understand how to pattern those strategies.

Saturday, 8/13/22 water temps 71 degrees, overcast winds 10-15 from the Northeast First time out on Borden and EVERYWHERE looks fishy. We had best luck fishing adjacent to the bulrush beds, NOT the wild rice beds. Caught a few LMB but the Pike were biting 10 to 1. A couple of LMB were caught on top water baits in open pockets of the bulrushes. After donating two chatterbaits and a 1/2 oz jig (to Pike) I switched to a white spinnerbait to control the bite-offs, mission accomplished.
