First trip back on the pond for the year! Caught an absolute pile of them. Fish are everywhere. Caught fish from 8-22ft. Schooled in big groups right now so when you find em stay on em. They're hungry.

May 13 2024, Just 2 days after Minnesota fishing opener my family and I took the journey to the notorious Big pond. We fished shallow bays that had super rocky bottoms with small to larger boulders mixed in the bunch. We spent most of the day dragging deep cranks in shallow water!
