Slow,slow,slow and slow for me. Water temp in low 50’s fished from red wing to lake city
You’re not the only one. My 1st fish of the year was a Sheep. Might be a sign of a bad year to come. We caught 3 sheeps, 1 white bass, and a cigar sauger. Fished from Coville down to Maiden Rock Flats. It was a very slow day, but still nice day to be out. Everyone we talked to got skunked too .
Was out on Thur.5th and had a very good day with a mixed bag of eyes and smallmouth.Pitching paddletails and ringworms to the sand/gravel/riprap south of Red Wing. Water temp was 49.5 in the afternoon when the rocks warmed up the eyes got real shallow chasing bait and it was lights out for us.
Has the saugers spawned out yet? I did catch some walleyes trolling madien rock. No legal sizes and one 26″ that I didn’t keep. That was the only area that I cought fish. Sorry but I’m kinda glad it wasn’t just me not catching anything. I was thinking I lost my mojo. Its been a different year that’s forsure
Boy, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one, too. Was up around Red Wing Saturday. Two small eyes. A couple white bass, and many sheepshead. I drove by Pepin and saw a bunch of guys out and wondered if I should have tried there instead. Guess not. Hopefully it picks up soon.
