Nice report, glad you had great time, doesn't get much better than bass slammin' topwaters.

Now that's what I'm talk'n about. Nice report!

Nice report...way to lay the wood!

Great report. Im going up to Thurdsay and Friday bay in July. Hoping for similar results with a few more walleye to boot...

that entire flowage from basswood through LLC IMO is the best fishing in BWCA on a consistent basis. Some other lakes are close,, but nothing really certain other then lakers. Throw in pies'-- and it takes the fishing crown.

Good fishin'!

Rugby, huh? You guys are tough!

Thanks for sharing. Nice hogs !!!

Hey RG,
Im going with a group of my friends up into Friday Bay leaving on Tuesday. Not asking for your secret spots, but any advice you want to offer on depths, types of locations (structure), methods, etc?

We fished the bass primarily with three different methods. In the rain we pitched tube jigs to mid-size boulders. We caught fish slip bobbering leeches rain or shine. When the sun was out, we focused on the topwater bite with Rapala Skitterpops, thrown to shore near rocks. If we saw a fish surface, that was our next cast.

The pike all came while bass fishing. Tube jigs, topwaters, and shallow running raps.
