The ice has been off the lake since the weekend and with the warm sunny days the fish have started showing up in the shallows on the Chain. The pressure is still low but that won’t last long. For the best luck, look for the shallowest muddy bay you can find.
The cold weather coming this weekend will most likely push the fish back out of the shallow water but that won’t last long. Some of the best bluegill and crappie fishing happens over the next month.
