The first cast off the dock?! Yes, the very first cast of the dock @ Sugar Maple at Hansen Lake caught this little beauty. And then again on the third cast. The fifth cast. The sixth cast. And so on.
It’s the most productive session I’ve had my entire fishing life, all from the dock at Sugar Maple at Hansen Lake. Amazing. An incredible variety of panfish and largemouth bass. All in one session from the dock!
I used the very same lure every time (Rapala floating minnow 2”)—and released them all. I’d still be out there fishing if the 12-year-old monofilament line didn’t snap on me. Don’t worry, I still have the lure.
