Just checking in to see if anyone has a report to share. Are you seeing a good push of fish yet, or is it still mainly river fish being caught?
Warming weather cannot hurt…unless the water gets muddy of coarse.
Thanks to anyone who is willing to share.
Fishing is slow. Fished on the 1 ST of April. We got 15 bites all on a white and pink 3/8 jig with minnow. Plastic’s did nothing but junk river fish. Biggest fish was 27 1/2. Got a few 26, 25 and 24 inch eyes. Out of all the fish there was only one lake eye caught. We put in at vidas and ran up river about 3 miles.
Most fish were found on the back side of deep humps. 18 fow seemed to be the ticket. The sturgeon were getting hooked up everywhere you looked. Key is to stay vertical as much ad possible and don’t over work the jig. Lift hold drop pause repeat, was the ticket.
water temp was mid to high 39 degree range. I spoke to a few different boats and most said they struggled or got smaller eyes.
Going to try again next week and see what happens. Attached two of the pictures I had on my phone. The pale walleye was the only lake fish we got. Rest river fish.
