Joe,

I did catch some on the rattle bait. The fish that were willing to bite were buried in grass in 3ft of water or so. It was hard to burn the trap over the grass in that shallow of water.

That Roumba bait is a big wobbler that you get a lot of action on but don't have to burn it, and it won't go but about 6 inches deep. They really hammer that bait too, it is an awesome strike.

The Rick Clunn wake bait runs even more shallow, I burn it over grass and it won't go probably 3 inches deep. Caught a musky on that bait and some nice bass until they knocked the feathers off the tail hooks. Never got another bite when them white feathers were gone. I tried a treble with red feathers cause that is all I had and never got another bite.

I am off work the 12th and 13th, but work at 6am on the 14th. I really enjoyed the white bass over there last time. Just bought some great rain gear at Gander Mountain. They had a $175 original price down to $97 on a top of the line water proof winter coat.

I decided to upgrade my rain gear, since I froze to death on my Wisconsin smallmouth trip, in July again. 3rd time I been to Wisconsin in July, 3rd time it rained all the time an was cold. I didn't learn the first two times, but did this time. You take everything you got when you go up there.
