| Anyone fish Gervais in the TC metro area? I'm making it a point to catch a tiger this year and that lake is quite convenient along with Johanna. Is Gervais worth hitting?
Any pointers on tactics for tigers versus pure strain that I am used to fishing?
Thanks,
Eric |

Location: Maplewood, MN | I live very close to the lake. Every year I say I'm going to target tigers, but then I feel like I'd be wasting a day that I could be fishing for pure strainers. That lake has changed a lot in the last 3 years. A lot of weed killer and fertilizer. Honestly, it looks like the black lagoon! Not much for a weedline and a lot of algae bloom. Used to be a good bass lake, now I struggle out there. Good luck if you go out there. Not a ton of structure, but you could work the entire lake in about 2 hours. |

| I'd run to Elmo, not to far from the Gervais area. |

Location: St Paul, Minnesota | Gervais is a great tiger lake and very easy to figure out. If fished and caught tigers on Elmo, Johanna, and Gervais and if the bite is on Gervais is a great time. I'll PM you.

| I'm 10 blocks from Gervais, have fished it a lot. Plenty of 39" fish and smaller. Very few over, as the bass guys like to take them out as soon as they are legal. |

| Gervais is good don't forget Johanna seems to have bigger ones,double bladed willow spinnerbait in chartreuse is about all I ever use on a tiger outing if you can find a CJ's small double willow hard to beat.
Also in that hood como park has huge tigers!!!!

| Curious if this is a tiger? caught a few that look like this over the years at Indy. I never bothered to count the jaw pores. all that looked like this were low to mid 40's.
I always assumed they were tigers but the lake is not known for them.
