    Fish the narrows. There is a deep hole off of one side which is the side to fish. Pink jigs and minnows works. Theres also a small rock hump there that can produce fish too. Trolling shadraps and also bottom bouncers produces fish on the oppsite being trolled along the reefs at the narrows. Good luck and let us know how you do.
    Thanks, Bill

    Thanks for the information. If you think of anything else, please post. Any information is a great help when I am entering these virgin waters. I have never fished the opener, so I hope it is not a mad house!

    Chunk, did not make it up the MN today. Buddy called last night and had to work today. Sorry for no report. But you can check out my Clear Lake Report.
