WalleyeTechniqueSoft JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsFished for walleyes out here one afternoon. Caught most in 8-12 FOW. Just in sandy points. Was using the scented jerk Shad as I didn't have any of my walleye gear with. So I pulled out my smallmouth stuff. I just let it sink to bottom and then snapped it back to the boat. Worked Well!

Cass Lake is a beautiful fishery that is full of fish, Walleye, Pike, Perch and much more. It has a moderate population of Largemouth bass, they may not be overly abundant, but their size is definitely better than average. Team tourneys often take around 20lbs or more to win. Think of this as a smaller version of Leech lake with a lower population density of largies. But you can fish and attack it very similar to Leech Lake. Your best bet is Frogs, Buzzbait, Jigs and soft plastics around shoreline cover and emergent vegetation in 4ft of water or less. The water is mostly clear so natural colors are a great place to start.

Yellow PerchTechniqueIce Fishing JigsSeasonIceStructurePointsPerch were found in late March on points leading into shallow reed areas. Using small tungsten jigs and spoons were the best way to get these fish to eat. Having another rod down with a minnow got a few larger bites!

Lots of fish scattered throughout almost all of the shallow cover around the lake. The most consistent bites came off of tight clumps of Reeds, grass and matted up vegetation. When the sun comes out, they like to bury themselves deep into cover, but will move out more when it is overcast. Another great way to work through these areas fast and pick fish up is with a swim jig or a frog.
