Fishing has continued to be great.  Bass, Walleyes, Crappies, and Sunfish have all been cooperating with the anglers the past few days.  Bass action has been incredible all year.   A few anglers have seen success throwing spinnerbaits into the shallows but the best action has been with plastics on the breaks.  Cast a jigworm onto the break and slowly work it back down into the deeper water.  Green or brown plastics are working well, especially on the clear lakes. 

Leech Lake has had the best reports, nice to be talking about this lake in a positive way again!!  Walleyes are biting on the main lake on Nightcrawlers and a spinner rig.  Stony Point and Pelican Island were the spots most guys are talking about.  A lot of the fish are 20"+ and have to be released but they are fun to catch.  There are a fair number of fish in the 15-18 inch range being caught as well. 

The other area lakes have been producing a few fish each day, mostly on leeches and nightcrawlers.  Trolling in 15-20 feet at dusk would be a good bet on most lakes as well.
