    I know there have been a lot of boats out there but have not heard any reports. I have not been out there since March 7th so I was hoping to hear something. Looking to get out this weekend.

    I drove past Bass Camp on Saturday and it looking like folks were launching by the gas dock but not on the ramps, can anyone confirm this?

    Anyone want to share a report? Thanks

    Main launch is now open, The bite has been slow as of yesterday. We were out Saturday kept 1 northern, 2 walleye.
    Bait shop is open, not sure if they are selling bait yet.Mike was hoping some time this week.

    Fished out of Bass Camp today from Noon – 6:30pm – what a nice day to be on the water. The walleye did not cooperate, we caught several but all short. We did manage to catch 3 keeper saugers for the frypan. The bite was slow mostly in the 20-30′ range on live bait rigs and jigs with minnows, no plastic.

    My son and I also got into a school of smallies, most of them in the 3# range. Here are few of the pics. Most of the base were caught in 18 – 24′ on minnows and one fell to an oystershell ringworm.

    The water has come up and is moving but still very fishable. We tried some sand flats and wingdams but only smallies to show for it. All of the walleye and sauger we caught were near the dam but we did catch fish just about everywhere we went – just small.

    I’ll be up to Pool 4 next weekend
