    Water levels are slowly receding. The fish are starting to bite before they spawn. Best lures are smaller jerk baits. Brighter colors seem to do better. With the warmer weather conditions the bite should get better for the next two weeks or so. Small unweighted buck tail flies also worked.

    Water temps around 50 degrees. Fishing from 6 till 8:30pm, Caught 3 males, scatted around. Drifted across points and ledges dragging 1/4 oz jigs with PowerBait soft plastics. All bites came on white twitchtail minnows.

    Relatively slow bite for the Wisconsin Opener (although the St. Croix opened up one week earlier). Water temperatures were 50-55 degrees and warming fast with the light switch of a cold La Nina spring and summer seeming to flip overnight. As such, the bite will likely change day by day, so what I say here now, will likely be different tomorrow. Still, although fishing was slow, we picked up a couple nice fish along a current seam in a channel just north of the I94 bridge in Hudson. Pink glitter 1/4 oz jig with a fathead minnow was the ticket.
