Mike, I didn't even know what wake baits were until last fall. I caught 43 bass my first morning with a wake bait. Such fun!

Thank you, Q-Mike, for sharing your expertise so freely. Very kind of you and I have appreciated your wisdom - helped me catch more fish!

Just read the spring BWJ. Nice job as usual!

It’s a much looked over presentation that I am glad I decided to try out. My favorite topwater lure at this moment.

That’s what it is all about for me, sharing some knowledge and trying to help others become the best Boundary Waters fishermen and women they can be.

A couple mornings last year, I cast the Whopper Plopper 50 times without a fish. Then I switched to the wake bait and it was on. However, the next morning, they'd want the Whopper Plopper again. I just bought some long, thin Rapala wakebaits and am looking forward to trying them.

Thank Mike! I've still caught more fish on the Zulu rig learned from your articles than another bait. The Lucky 13 is close 2nd! I love that thing. I've caught northern, bass, and even a walleye on it.

Them darn fish can be picky sometimes. I guess that's why we carry an assortment of lures :)

I know. They're tricksey! They've been besting me so far this year. I've caught 9, 3, and 1 on my three outings. However, two of the ponds had ice on their edges, so the bass are still a bit nip.

No one does it better, QM....you'll be seeing a message from the old pastor very soon!

BOOM! QM hits back at my e-mail within minutes bringing all the good stuff to my in-box. Thanks man!

Thanks Mike for all the articles and details. I'll be trying out your tips this summer. It's coming!
