Smallies are cruising the shallows preparing to spawn. Fish are still grouped up and hungry but should be making beds or on beds by the weekend. Cruising sand weed edges and tossing a jerkbait was key. Keep an eye out for dark spots swimming in the sand and chuck a hair jig their way. As the spawn progresses, please try to leave the fish who are on beds alone, this chain has been decimated over the last few years of tournament fishing. Protect these fish.

Had a weekend in Crosslake on the Whitefish chain. Did really well on walleyes trolling the X-Rap on top of humps and sand bars. Very simple process, just get your speed and depth and go. Best success came from 9-11pm. Good size fish in the lake, lots of 20+" fish that went back and kept a few eating size for the freezer.

Working the deep edges off the reefs and sand bars during low light periods yielded the best results. Start deep and work shallower onto the reefs as night falls. Good mixture of eating size and larger fish.
