Try froggin’ and doggin’ for summer largemouths
Summer is the prime time for using topwater frogs and “walking the dog” for bass. As summer takes hold, bass fishing is all about grass. We’re talking about native aquatic vegetation that flourishes in natural lakes and drowned river mouth lakes in Michigan.
You can also find grass in reservoirs and rivers, but it’s not as prevalent as in lakes. Bright green aquatic vegetation indicates a thriving environment with lots of dissolved oxygen. It also creates many ambush sites and habitats for predators like bass, especially largemouth bass.

Steve McComas: Heavy rains this year have impacted Minnesota lakes
What a contrast between the summers of 2023 and 2024 in Minnesota!
Last year, there was a heavy snowpack followed by summertime drought conditions. This year, there was a light snowpack followed by spring and summer rains that produced flooding conditions. Rainfall totals at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport for the April-June period in 2023 totaled 5 inches. For the same time period in 2024, rainfall totaled 17 inches. Rainfall and run-off have increased lake levels this summer, but there are other lake issues as well.

Bob Zink: PETA meets the Dunning-Kruger zone
I admit to being a bit behind regarding my grasp of PETA.
The last thing I remember was that we all chuckled when we heard that in 1995, Michael Doughney registered the domain peta.org as “People Eating Tasty Animals.” Alas, in 1996 Doughney was sued by the extremist organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and ultimately was forced to surrender the domain. However, once you’ve heard that PETA stands for people eating tasty animals, you can’t unhear it, so there’s that, at least. It’s still what I think of, almost 30 years later.

Troubleshoot your shotgun well before the hunting season
Slicking up the action made a difference I could feel. But the gun failed on the third trip as if nothing had changed. More than a little surprised, I was ready to trade it in. I contacted the manufacturer. As expected, under warranty, simply ship it back.
