I made it out for the fist time since opening Tuesday. Had a great day boating over 20 walleyes, although the biggest one was only 14″. Most are trolling cranks near the bridges. But I think this bite is over with boats working the bridges hard the last few days. Found most of my eyes in the 5-7 feet on a wind blow shore line. I was snap jigging .25 once bfishn’glitter jig head with a cut down ring worm or paddletail in firecracker color. I also trolled cranks and picked up a few. By far the best color was green and white berkly frenzy.
While trolling cranks I found a school of prespawn crappies. The school was tight and on the feed. I cought a bunch and kept five of the skinny ones for a meal. Some were real pigs with round tummys. The water was 65 degrees so they should be spawning anytime.
The cats are on a major bite getting read for there spawn. You will find more shallower than 10 feet than you will deeper. Totally opposite of a few weeks ago. Most are small but fight good. I even cought one trolling. But the best way I think to catch a few now is fishing with a bobber and cut bait over the emerging weed beds.
