Minnows
find the wind blown shorelines and points in the spring, a 1/8 oz jig tipped with a fathead or shiner minnow is a killer bait. After the walleyes spawn they will pull out into deep water and rest for a few days and then they will have the feed bags on. find the wind blown shorelines and points use your electronics to locate the fish and pitch or vertical jig for them, normally fish 1'-15' of water. I like to use 10 lb braid as my mainline and a length of 6-8lb test mono about 3'-5' long tied to the braid or a small barrel swivel to join them together. If you are having short strikes use a stinger hook, just clip it on and stick the hook in the tail of the minnow. Good Luck.

Minnows
Opening weekend on Kabetogama is sometimes a little different from what most fisherman normally see. The fish normally have just spawned and move out on the first or second break off of the shorelines and are resting. They are a lot of times they are resting in 20'-35' of water. Use your electronics to locate the fish and vertical Jig above them with a Fathead minnow or a Shinnner Minnow. I like the stand up jigs better for this and if they are short striking use a stinger hook. If you can use a 1/8 oz Jig or a 1/4 oz Jig. Use the 10 lb braid as your mainline and tie 5' of mono to your braid, using a double uni-knot or a small swivel. The water is normally very cold less than 50 degrees and you want to fish slow.
