Fish were pushing shallow. Transition areas of bigger rock/boulders next to sand in 2-6ft of water. Jerkbaits, paddle tails swimbaits, and hair jigs were the ticket.

Had a few hours to burn up on Mille Lacs and ran straight to some main lake reefs near the shallower bays. Instantly started catching fish with the ned. Marking some key transition areas where sand met the shallower boulders was the deal. Fish are on the move big time right now.

I fished from shore under the northern lights on the MN Fishing Opener from midnight to 2:30 am. I got 5 walleye from 18” to 23” from 1:00 am to 1:40 am on the jerkbait. There was only a slight ripple on the water.
