Took the weekend off from fishing to do some deer hunting up in the Battle Lake area.

The walleyes are biting pretty good right now on Tonka. At dusk look for the fish to be on steep breaks and weed lines in 16 to 20 feet of water. A jig and minnow combo is always a good option this time of year. After dark grab a 5"+ minnow style shallow crank bait and start trolling the flats and inside weed lines. Look for areas with hard bottom and try to stay in 5 to 7 feet of water. We've been getting a few fish each night the last couple of weeks including a 40" muskie and walleyes up to 27". The first blast of really cold air should bring the bigger fish in for one last chance. Good luck. (This 27" fish was caught last night around 11pm on a black/silver x-rap in 6 ft trolling at 1.5 mph.)

This was Casey Zeik's first tournament and he caught several nice fish including this 19" smallmouth. There were about 15 boats in the tournament and we won with 20lbs 8oz for five fish. Our two biggest fish including a 5lb 8oz kicker were released before this photo was taken. We had a great night and caught a lot of fish on several different baits. Most of our good fish were caught on or outside the weedline in 14 to 20 feet of water. We caught fish on texas rigs, rock jigs, crank baits and jig worms.

Fished in Denny's Super 30 tournament on Monday and it took over 27 lbs for 8 bass to make the money. We ended up in third place with 29 lbs even and made a nice move up in the team of the year standings. We got all of our fish on jigs and texas rigs in 7 to 14 feet of water. There were three good schools that we got most of our fish from but the 5 lber was a loner on the way in to one of the spots. The fishing is really good right now and should only get better as we head into August.

The bass are starting to load up in their summer locations. The winning weight for 8 fish on Monday, June 21st, in Denny's Super 30 was almost 32 lbs. We were well off the pace with just under 23 lbs but we caught a lot of fish.
