With this wind we’ve had the last few days, it has started to mix the water up so water temps have gone down a little, but it is helping it to start to even out. Weeds are starting to grow; they are just a little slow with the late ice out. Muskie season in the north country will open on the 26th of the month.
Northern Pike: These fish were caught while jigging walleyes in some sparse weeds, they will get more active as the water warms and more weed growth occurs.
Walleye: This week, the fish I caught were mostly all spawned out with a few small males still cruising the shallow in search of any late spawners. I got fish in as little as 4 feet of water to 30 feet of water, with a variety of baits from jig and minnow combos to casting perch pattern crankbaits. As the water keeps warming up, weeds will start to become more into play; keep your eyes on your locator.
Panfish: Perch are being caught on jigs and slip bobber rigs alike. Crappies are starting to stage closer to spawning areas on the lakes that are in the warmer temps.
