Matt , Tim and I met in Grantsburg Sunday for a 10 mile float. We were pretty sure the weather was going to cooperate and really liked that it was dead calm. Spring is normally pretty windy so it was nice to not battle the wind - especially when it's your first time rowing a drift boat (so I can fish).
In total we had 16-18 smallmouth with I think 4 were 16 inches or bigger. Best fish of the day was Matt's 18 incher caught on a popper. We were moving through water at a pretty good pace and then really slowed is down the last mile and worked the shoreline. We had to get half of our fish from that stretch.
We also landed 4 walleyes with Tim having one keeper. We tried out the Clackin' Minnow after Pastika's had a good report with them. It worked really well in the slower deeper stretches of the river like the shot below with Tim rowing. But once it got to 3-4 feet or shallower they snagged pretty quickly.
