Loon 9/17

[winnebasschamp]

Got done with work early, finished chores early, decided to GO FISHIN! Wasn't sure where to go, maybe Deep? Maybe the Chain? I did need some redemption after last night of no bites! Got halfway to the Chain and turned down Grass Lk. Rd. to go to Loon! After a heads up from Mr. Crankbait, I went out there with, well a crankbait! Tried some spots he told me about, but the fish I did see seemed slightly molested.... :rolleyes: They were just coming up and swirling on it, not taking it. Heard lots of gillies poppin in the pads, so fished a froggy and got some action. "Ran" to the other side of the lake, and flipped my jiggy under the colorful dock (zach will know) and got a 3lber, fished the next X brace, another 3lber, fished the shallowest X brace, got 1 close to 5! Missed her the 1st time too! Why do I not bring my camera?? :furious3: It would've been an ok day to have 1.... Got a mid 30's muskie as well... Fun few hours of fishing even though it was tough! Best 5 around 16lbs.

I'm not a pro at crankbaiting, but next time you're having follows, there are a few different things you can change to get picked up. down size, throw a crank with different wobble, and or change color. Some times this helps. but way to go ryan its a shame you didn't have a camera though.

Tried it man! Mann's, Storm, Bandit's and Cordells! Silver, white, bluegill, chartruese, blue, pink, purple, black... Those fish were harassed by some Mr. Crankbait guy before I could ever lay my hooks into them! Thanks for the tips though man. Just a tough bite I think.

Donkey dock- No dude, it was the colorful tag dock! The one to the north, I fished donkey and didn't get no bites?! You'd think with 3 nice fish on one dock, they'd be all over the few docks out there, but fished em all and only found one other with fish on it!.... :crazy: BTW, fished West Loon on the way in as the sun was fallin, topwater, in the "topwater spot" (walkdogs will know :D) had two fish come up, but didn't take... :furious3: I think they were bigguns 2.... Til next time

very fun lake, wish I would'nt have been so blind and went and fished out there a bit more. Had great times out there, the times I was there. Did you have blowups or did they just roll on the bait?

Those fish were just rollin on the bait. They wouldn't take!
That's the dock! :) There's 4 cross braces and there was a fish on 3 out of 4. I want to go back out there soon, probably sometime this week.
