quote PurpleHeartPaddle: "I'm not sure how many pounds yet, I will probably be fishing an average of every other day. I have used artificial "live" baits but haven't had much luck with them. I can barely get a few casts in with casting lures without snagging a rock in the BWCA, so I have been mostly jigging up there for the last few years. Are there some good putty/fake "live" baits that work for anyone?"
Call the bait shop in the morning, and we can fix that snagging you speak of.
