    I have a buddy up on the bay. When is the typical best smallie bite? Looking for dates and your favorite presentation.
    Thanks

    Haywood,
    I was up there about 3-4 years ago for 2 years in a row on the MN walleye opener. The first year we had terrible weather, the wind blew 30+ and it was cold and rainy. We took 1 walleye (we were smallie fishing) the entire weekend.
    The year after some friends and I went up on the same weekend and creamed the smallies! The numbers and size were both incredible. I think they might be born 3lbs! It was some of the best fishing I’ve seen. The weather was calm and sunny all weekend that time, I don’t recall what the water temp was. We fished several different baits but cranks (my least favorite bait) far outshined all others for those 2 days. I’d like to get back there one of these years.

    Good Luck!

    Loomy
