I do a lot of shore fishing within the isles of Phalen Lake. The smaller creek has a lot of 1lb - 2lbers laying underneath the heavy vegetation. A weightless senko or dinger worm works best. I haven't had much luck fishing on the dock of Phalen Lake. I've tried senkos, dingers, dropshots, and also swimbaits without much luck of any strike during the summer months.

First time fishing at phalen and was able to catch some decent bass with a biggun of 4.12 lbs. Jigs outside of weeds were working for me. Also caught a couple off the yamatanuki and dark sleeper as well.
