Hey- Grundy Bassman here. I hammered em today out on old Heidecke. Bass were biting the orange colored rattle baits today. I normally charge $49.99 for this info but I’ll give it out free today. The retrieve was a simple yo yo. Cast out, let the bait hit the bottom, let it sit for 2-3 seconds, then a quick snap up and repeat. The fish hit on the fall and you’ll set the hook on the next snap up. Try the RAT’L trap first then mix it up and see what works best. You’re going to catch some walleye too. As always, good luck and until next time I’ll see you in the woods and on the water. The Grundy Bassman

Solid ICASST tournament today! We finished 10th out of 40 boats with 6.9 pounds of largemouth and smallmouth. In the morning, we tried for largies in the reeds but found they hadn’t pushed up yet since the water was only 50 degrees. We then picked out a deeper rip rap shoreline where we caught smallies with a dropshot on the rock to clay transition line. As the day progressed and the sun warmed up the water, we went back to the largie reeds to find that the water was now 56 degrees and a few had pushed up into them. I picked a couple off with a flipping bait and got our limit with 10 minutes to spare. Overall a great time on the water!

Hey! GrundyBassman here. With the weather warming up I went out and pounded them today. The new Chatterbait EVO got it done when nothing else would. Smallmouth were hammering the EVOs listed in this report. Best bait I’ve used in a long time. Had the place to myself again, no one was at the boat launch or in the parking lot. Bass were eager to please me. I focused on sun drenched areas where the water was warmer and a stop and go retrieve. Until next time, I will see you in the woods and on the water. GrundyBassman

Had the place to myself today. Colder weather has really scared the folks off, but that’s their problem not mine. How did GrundyBassman do, you ask? Well the bassman hit ‘em hard today. Ole Johnny Smalljaw was on the prowl and I crossed his eyes and dotted his tees with the g finesse special. The bait? Berkley MaxScent Flatworm Gobiyashi. The line? 6 lb Seaguar 100% flouro The hook? GFinesse! #2 The weight? Woo Tungsten When the temperature dips the GrundyBassman still rips lips! Until next time I’ll see you in the woods and on the water. -GrundyBassman

Smallmouth were on fire today. Colder weather and open water has this place unpressured. Shout out to Damiki for making an incredible blade bait. Find the bait find the fish!
