Mille lacs lake, Minnesota, all of June 2025. Should hit spawn? Can't wait, I remember you having a record day on that lake, what almost, or around 92lbs? Thanks for the great fishing reports. Mr. Bertrand, you are a great asset to all fisherman, and a top-notch Gentleman. Thanks for all you do for the sport.
I agree with a couple points early in the vid about Pleasant, they are running shallow, or they were, the river is open now. I'm hitting them on deep crank baits about 15-20 ft. deep. Strike King 5X and 6XD. The striper are pounding the spoons right now from about 7am-10am at about 40-50 ft. I fish Pleasant every weekend, usually from the western boat ramp up the bank to French Creek and back down the other side and cross over to Helm's Island and hit that bank on the way back to load up my kayak in that little cove. The early morning back in the shallow creek feeds and branch offs are good for frogs and shad baits. Good luck to you! To everyone else, put the electronics down and open your eyes, if it LOOKS like a fish should live there, SEND IT! Entire generations managed to not only survive, but actually enjoyed fishing without forward facing sonar ;)
Hi Randy, Im in the Tucson Area, what Lake are you referring to? I fished Parker Canyon Sunday, Caught around 12 Small Large Mouth , biggest maybe 2lbs , was much better last year at this time. I do know the water level is down , so maybe that has changed where the Fish are feeding ... its been tough to get into big fish there so far.....
I fished Willow Springs Lake 2 weeks ago. The large and smallmouth are spawning. I did really well on drop shot in the beds. Nothing big, but it’s always a blast catching smallies! Thanks for the report!
Fishing has been great at pleasant early mornings on surface lures and fast retrieving flukes off points. Then moves to drop shot in deeper water as the day goes on.
Thanks as always for the great report. Been fishing a lot of the Southern lakes personally. Grass is growing like crazy frog bites , picking up good drop shot a lot, and a lot of finesse stuff on our pressured lakes down south. Obviously still seeing some bluegil beds.Thanks for everything you do for the sport.
Patagonia down south has been decent. It is a flipping lake for sure, but found a decent bite last weekend on Ned Rig on main lake points and islands in 10-15 ft.
Another great report Josh. Planning on trying Pleasant this weekend but won't try the river till after the 16th! LOL. Would like to ask when you would throw the Dredger vs the Dime? Thanks so much!!!
June 11th, fished with Bass Pro Gary Senft. 40 in the boat at Apache. Includes a 6 lb+ and a 5lb +. Rosevelt the next day was really tough and disappointing.
Last week I beached over at the saguaro coves and was throwing a tiny under spin and ended up catching a 4lb and 2lb bass within 10 minutes was quite surprised since I rarely catch anything when I actually go bass fishing at saguaro throwing a drop shot
Is it still worth fishing in the lower salt river? I has some luck catching a few small LM bass with top water (whopper plopped) two weekends ago, but I caught pretty much nothing with (whopper plopped, frog) last weekend. I was out there around 5am -_-
Funny you say the river is opening June 15th, the past 3-4 trips(beginning of June) I've gone out to the buoys(at the river closure) and observed about 8 boats knowingly go past the buoys into the river. Some even stop and read that the area is closed, pretty sad. Called the game and fish hotline but of course there's nobody on the lake. Sorry for the rant, thanks for the fishing info!!!

Havasu is fishing really well

Saw you not long ago at canyon! Nice boat! Thanks for the report 🤙
Down in Tucson that top water bite has been good! I've been getting into angling this past year. I love it!

Thanks for report. Fished Roosey - caught them on cranks chasing Shad(saw the birds), then slowed down and beat the submerged trees with worms.
Love the reports. Can you maybe do a video with some rod and reel set ups and recommendations?
Just started fishing recently with my little brother. We're going to the barlett lake thanks to your recommendations.
Always looking forward to your updates Josh! Keep them coming....
Thanks for the report. Representing us anglers from San tan valley… love it
Live here ready to get to Roosevelt in the bass boat once I heal up a bit thanks for the videos

Great stuff and props for recording in your garage when it’s 112 out.
Great report as usual Josh, pretty much dead on. Been flipping and frogging which has been fun and productive
Gobayashi on the Berkley flat worm has been good. Looks very natural. Thanks for all the great info Josh!
Love the local fishing reports. I fish the salt river chain mostly

Fished Bartlett Monday evening this week. Pulled in 5 2 lbs plus right around the marina. Wacky worms along the docks. Green pumpkin!
Thanks for the report. I'm in Southeastern Arizona the lakes are smaller but still some great quality fish and very aggressive bites.
Do you ever include Alamo in your reports? That’s one of my favorite fishing spots.
Keep the good work. Saguaro is still real good using jigs all day
Appreciate the report, huge help for fishing the desert lakes.
Another great video! Thanks for all your great information
Patagonia down south has been decent. It is a flipping lake for sure, but found a decent bite last weekend on Ned Rig on main lake points and islands in 10-15 ft.
Love the info!!
Froggin and flipping wood 🪵 at Rosey has been producing big bites
Good stuff Josh. I hope Apache makes a full comeback 🤞

Thanks for the info! Saguaro has been hot lately!
Thanks!

Thanks Josh, fishing has been real good a Bartlett and Pleasant. How's the algae bloom at Saguaro?
Thanks for the report.
Great update man
Haven't had time to get out on the lakes much but consistently catching bass in the canals on spinnerbaits
Fishing good at Saguaro, but still I can see them and yet they don't bit. Lipless, drop shot, Texas rig different colors.
Is it still worth fishing in the lower salt river? I has some luck catching a few small LM bass with top water (whopper plopped) two weekends ago, but I caught pretty much nothing with (whopper plopped, frog) last weekend. I was out there around 5am -_-
Our new Toad Will be perfect at Roosey
Fishing been definitely real slow in Oklahoma but some days they get on it. It’s real weird 🤦🏽♂️

Saw hundreds of dead bass on apache june 4-7 hopefully it gets better
