Went to Ann Lake for the first time in 2022. Downsizing our creature soft plastics really made the difference. It created the bites that we wanted. Find the healthiest and thickest vegetation, and you'll find the mamas.

Slow bite post cold front but some better LMB in the pads.

Got out a bit later last night (6:30pm) because it was so hot. Tried working a frog and flipping some grass with no luck. Got my only bites on a drop shot on the weed lines. Key was to get it in the weeds and work it out. I am still working on my drop shotting skills so I missed a few and had a few strikes as I was reeling it in.

Took the kayak for a morning outing. Used the mini chatterbait with a trailer and tossed it along the weed lines near the dock. Caught several medium size LM bass.

I caught some pike and small bass around the weed perimeter using ned, wacky and tubes. Friends caught larger bass in the lily pads using a frog. That was definitely the ticket for bass this evening.

Lake Ann holds lots of pike. Fall has always been a great time to target pike there. This past weekend, I used Z-Man Chatter baits with Rage Craw Trailers and Spinnerbaits to get excellent numbers of pike in my kayak. Burning these blade baits through and over vegetation triggered reaction strikes.

The bite was tough but managed a few bass. Side note, remember this is a catch and release bass fishery and a slotted limit for northern pike. Read the signs at the launch. This is also a non motorized gas engine lake. Makes for a very peaceful lake to fish and canoe/kayak in. The bass very very finicky, and wanted nothing but slow moving wacky rigged worms. Biggest bass of the day was a 17.75” bass and smallest was 14.5” bass. A few crappies were caught by other anglers going after bass. Also managed a couple small northern pikes using moving baits such as a chatterbait or tandem spinner baits. Water temp was around 78 degrees, water clarity was good at around 10-15 feet visibility.

Caught a ton of crappies throwing a 1/8oz yellow jighead with a matching 4” Mister Twister grub. Let it sink to about 5-7 FOW and slowly retrieve it. Biggest one was 11.25”.
