Northerns were hammering spinners in 6-8 ft of water around heavy cover. They were hitting green/white and red/black. Landed 10 and had another 4 shake it including a couple right next to the boat in about 3 hours of being on the lake.

Fishing was a little slower this past Sunday but got a few good ones to bite on the All-Terrain tackle football jig. Very slow rolled over the old bluegill beds worked the best. Blue black or natural craw were the best colors

Four decent fish fairly early, but the bite dried up around 10am. Fished the grass line about 20yds out from docks. Lots of pike, but the bass that did bite put up a fight. A weightless Fat Ika won the day, falling slow on the edges of vegetation.

When Coon is going it's a really fun lake to fish. You have to move around a lot and try different things to see what is working. In the summer I will typically start on offshore points keying on rock transitions. I have had my best success with neko rigs. Z-Man product have been good for me this year a neko rig. If the off shore stuff is not working I will pick up a frog and try to cover water till I run into them.

Fish were eating good out there this Sunday! Better fish were coming off the outside were edges on clumped coon tail. The bigger fish seemed to be just into the weeds and they wanted it slow with little shakes. But lower the better seemed to be the key!

Cover water shallow with the buzzer, don't be afraid to throw right up against the bank.
