Crooked Lake in Coon Rapids - DrownedDesertRat - 06-07-2005

I was out a couple days this past week. What a slow catch! My first catch was actually totally unexpected. I had a set my rod down, my lure was just a few inches under water, and wham! Nice little bass. So I tried it again. And here's what I caught:

Measured 18 inches.

The bass are biting. So are the walleye during a window that's lasting from about 8:30pm to about 9:15pm. All my fishing has been from the shore and fishing dock.

If anybody is heading out there, let me know when so we can meet up! I've got a couple extra BigFish Hook Safe's and I wouldn't mind passing them on. What is a "Hook Safe"? Check them out here:

Actually, I was using a small Mimic Minnow. I was actually fishing for walleye at the time. I'm going to use Charlie a lot more the next couple of weeks. Going after them small 5 lb bass that we have here in MN and a few tiny 10 lb pike.
