Fished Minnetonka for the UPL panfish tournament Saturday.
We went out to a point with some good grass on it that was loaded with fish, that we found two weeks before.
It looked like it was recieving little or no fishing pressure, so we were pretty confident we would do well.
When we got there in the morning, some of the top teams were already cutting holes on it, haha.
One spot was still open where I caught a nice slab before, so we cut our holes and got to fishing.
We found loads of crappies just waiting for us, the hot lure in the morning was a two inch plastic tube with a 1/32 oz jig inside. They would come in as you were lowering it down, then I would shake it a bit and they would hit pretty hard.
We had our 8 specks in the bucket in 15 minnutes, then worked on upgrading size.
The bite started to slow and I downsized to a gold 4mm tungsen with a glow nuggie, and put a couple of decent crappies on the ice.
I decided to let Jack continue to chase the slabs, and start working on bluegills and they were stacked in the grass and ready to bite. a 3mm heavy metal tipped with a red J&S ice mite gave me constant action, as long as I moved every 15 minutes or so.
After a couple hours, the plastics bite waned, I switched to larva and started rearing on more gills and a couple of bass. We ended up with 7 # foe 15 panfish, not a bad pail of fish for tonka!
