Matted Grass
Burning a frog across the matted rice can produce good numbers of fish with some quality mixed in. Working the frog fast allows you to cover lots of water. If a fish misses the frog, follow up with a light jig, they should commit.

Hot bite on Saturday. Dragging a jig and a shiner or pitching a jig and a shiner produced many walleyes. Can't wait for the rest of the year!

Found some nice bass out here. Key is finding the warmest water Temps possible. I was able to sight fish a few. That rod and reel above is the best Jig rod I've ever found so be sure to give it a try

Was a tough bite. Found a pile of walleyes on livescope up on the sand flats in 11-14 feet, but had to dangle a leech in front of their faces to get them to eat. They didn't care about any other baits falling right in front of their faces. Slip bobbers and live bait would've worked well too.

Finding weed edges accompanied by sand spots are important for Leech Lake Walleyes. Pitching jigging rap style baits out and ripping back to the boat are a guaranteed catch.-Baylor S

We fished jigs and rigs in 9-11’ feet of water. We tipped the jigs with shiners and leeches. We used leeches on the Lindy rigs with 4-5’ leaders. Looked for sand to weeds or sand to gravel transitions and slowly trolled them behind the boat at 0.5-0.6 mph. Caught lots of nice perch too!

Opening Weekend brought great weather but slow fishing. High sun, and no wind meant the fish were deep. Casting jigs far from the bought and dragging them slowly on the drift brought success in 12-14 feet of water. All fish came on shiners, tried leeches also with no success.
