I Got Me a Dogfish!
We got dumped on my a thunderstorm this morning so I didn't get out until after 6:00am. It was actually still sprinkling when I got there. There was 1 guy on the SW side and that was it. I decided to go to the NE side and try for some golden bullheads. I quickly noticed that all the rain we got had cleared up the water. No gold today.
While fishing with the Money Minnow I had a jumpin bullhead wrap me around the buoy marker line. It eventually got off but my line was still stuck. Fortunately my line broke at the bait, so I didn't lose my wire leader. I started fishing with a parrot X-Rap and tied into this little dogfish.
I caught a several jumpin bullheads on the X-Rap.
Then I went up and got re-tied. All my Money Minnows are waiting for my new Mend-It bottle to arrive. I accidentally left the cap on loose earlier this week, Oops. I put on a white Grass Pig and got a couple of toothy bullheads on that.
I also of course got some jumpin bullheads on the Grass Pig. This was the biggest at 17 inches.
I eventually decided to give the other side a try for some silver bullheads. I missed a couple of bites and got a real small one before taking off at a little after 9:00AM.
We went into Little Falls to get my new glasses today, so I didn't get to bed until 3PM and I didn't wake up until 10PM. So no fishing tonight

Maas Marauder
They named a bait after me: The MAAS Marauder
Actually it's named after Al Maas the Leech Lake muskie guide. The bait sells for $20 at Cabela's. The lure sure isn't very pretty.

MT Cyberfish has been catch-n some metro specks... with Cisco Pete...
New Rapala Lures: Rapala has come out with 2 new baits that look phenominal. The X-Rap Walk which is an X-Rap topwater and the X-Rap SubWalk which is a lure designed to walk the dog sub surface. So far the SubWalk is getting some good reviews. The downside on these baits is cost; The Walk goes for $12 at Bass Pro and the Subwalk goes for $10 at Bass Pro. I will probably buy a SubWalk, but the Walk is a little to pricey for me on a topwater. I made the mistake of buying a Lucky Craft Sammy once, I'm not doing that again. Note: The Sammy does catch fish but I have a number of other far cheaper topwaters that I have been more productive with, the Sammy doesn't measure up in comparison.
