Mid may action after MN opener. Only small fish were up shallow and easy to catch during the first days of this trip. The weather was unseasonably hot and the water warmed quickly. On my 5th straight day fishing Bello Lake in Itasca County. A storm was heading in for the afternoon and the fishing was 🔥🔥🔥! I boated 3 bass over 18", missed a couple that were over 18" when they spit the hook on jumps and boated at least 30 bass. WOOHOO!

Surface temp was low 60s but only found two fish up on beds with most fish doing prespawn things. Covering water with a chatterbait is effective, hitting every laydown you can—and there are a lot in this lake. When the cover got too thick, switched to a swim jig and caught fish on that as well. T-rigged Rage Bug got the only decent bed fish I found.
