Dang... THIS WORKED AWESOME! (Kayak Fishing WEIRD Puffy Algae)

The Minimalist Fisherman: In the Field focuses on bass fishing tips and techniques that will help you catch more fish all throughout the Midwest. Everything we write about - we test.

If it's good - we keep it. If it's not - we minimize it!

This outing took place the fourth week of May. We caught largemouth bass and panfish while exploring a new, beautiful (and extremely clear!) body of water in Illinois. With 68° water we were probably still in a post-spawn period... and some males hanging around beds seems to point to that as well. MUCH better bite than 3 days ago, and less than a mile away from the previous lake!
