| I am about to do the most Taboo thing imaginable and ask/talk about recent action. I have fished local metro lakes recently and have had varying results.
On Friday, we fished a from about 8:00 am till 3:30 pm. Wind was somewhat strong out of the NE/E and we moved fish on the deep edge on the west side of the lake for the most part. All fish were hot and lost on in the 8 that shook loose after a few seconds before we could net her that was about 47".
Today, went back out and found the fish to be a little more shallow. Moved a 52" + and 3 others in less than 10 ft.
I am guessing that this is not going to get anywhere with how tight lipped we can all get, but just sharing a report. I wish I was able to get out with the cloud cover tonight as moonset was late afternoon and I think the fish were maybe ready to go.
How has everyone else been doing? Feel free to PM me instead.....

| I was out on Tonka Saturday afternoon/evening. Only had 1 attack a shallow raider in about 5 ft of water right at sunset. It completely missed it and came straight out of the water which was pretty cool. Threw cowgirls, shallow raiders, and gliders without much success. |

| I had most of my weekend action on shallow sand/docks but saw other boats catch a couple on the deep edge at the same time. I'm still checking shallow first tonight when I go out. |

| Missed two on Tonka last Monday. One hit a top water in 20 feet of water, hit right near the boat with no followers in sight so it caught me off guard. Also had a really nice one chase a bucktail up to the boat. Wind was really bad and I couldn't properly execute a figure 8. Only fished 4 hours that night and saw two nice fish. |

| heard people are seeing a lot of fish on tonka.... they're just not eating. I'll be putting in 2 full days on Indy Sunday/Monday. Let me know if you're out there and we'll tag team.
On a side note, grouse numbers seem pretty good statewide lol |

| Boated a 46" Thursday. Deep edge, only fish we saw all day. Fished 2 pm - Dark. Figured the clouds/wind would have them moving, but not so much.

| Nice - Surprised they were moving with the warm weather today and makes sense that you had action during last light of day. I usually struggle in the fall when I get a hot (80 degree) day after water temps have been on the decline. Hoping to get out again this Thursday and/or Friday. I will once again post a report. |

Nice! I'm heading out there tomorrow. Were you working slow or fast? I'm thinking of attacking it slow with dawgs, cranks, and jerks.
Trying to put my bro-in-law on his first. I've had him out there twice over the summer and he came close on a mid 40's on the west end. It rolled over an electric bunny, but didn't eat for whatever reason. |

| I didn't manage anything out on Tonka on Saturday. Fished 12-6:30. Had 1 strike from something in shallow at the end of the day, but didn't get a look at it to see what it was. |

| One 43" on Minnetonka today. 5 feet of water in current neck down area as winds were blowing this AM. Buddy had a true monster ( well over 50") on a jig in Crystal Bay as well. Fish was near one of the channels. Came unbuttoned as I was gonna scoop it up. True heartbreaker fish as it would have crushed his PB. |

Tonka has been an on or off day for me all summer. I guess I haven't really taken the time to figure out exactly what makes them go out there but I will in due time. |
