        Lake Minnewashta is my favorite metro Minneapolis lake. My fishing buddy cancelled because it was raining at 5:30 AM. boy did he ever miss a great day, however i skipped fish selfies as they never turn out well.

          This was not my fish, but I had Google-Earthed the crap out of the local coastline and found an area that I thought looked good.  It does require wading through waist deep water to get to some of the shingle banks.

          I went with a mate yesterday and we had six between us (he had 5 and I had 1  😃 ), so I'll be back.  I think we have cracked the best state of tide too…

            Hence the bigger smile?

                Nice Giles! Google earth is the best for finding honey holes.

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Not exactly large, and miles off being keepable, but it's still a fish.  Had one a tad larger later in the session, but still not past the age of consent…..

                    Love those paddle tail soft baits. All I use here in the river. Can’t wait to fish it with my kayak

                        What size is it? Unweighted hook? Looks good

                          11.5" Crappie. That's pretty big for MN.

                          The bass have eluded us so far this year, but the hammer handle northern pike kept our rods bent and hands slimy.

                          I'm taking my nephew out Saturday morning, will report back.

                            4.5", but they also do a 6".  I fished unweighted today….

                              Took the middle son out for a day of fishing yesterday, and as @Giles knows the worlds strongest maelstrom is just over the fjord from me. If you hit the tides right it is great fishing.

                              I knew from the almanac it wouldn’t be one of those days unless we went very early or very late, but the lad did alright in the quiet water in by the rocks. I was casting long and going deep and didn’t get a bloody thing [emoji1]

                              And yes, the boy is wearing my IHC-15.

                                  It was great. One not so great thing that I’m trying not to dwell on is that I got to use that great real with one of those 85g lures you have me, in my brand new rod. It was an absolute pleasure in terms of casting and control. Seba slammed the car door shut on the rod at the end of the day and snapped it. Fml.

                                        Definition of  fishing rod:  Cumbersome item of fishing tackle easily made less so by application of car or trunk door.

                                        Most decent brands will have a lifetime warranty to the original owner for damage, however, caused.
