Northern PikeTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLedgesTook the kayak out to East Rush for the MN fishing opener. Caught a mix of bass and pike on an electric shad paddle tail paired with a 3/16 VMC swim jig, including this monster 36” pike. Fish seemed to be holding to the ledges in 6-10 FOW.

Largemouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureMatted GrassTook 5th in the greenhorn Sunday league derby out on east/west rush. Fishing up in the slop throwing buzz toads, swimjigs and chatterbaits. Bite was tough to come by, they really only but from 6-10 am and then the rest of the day was really slow. Top water bite died around 8 am. Popping the swimjig and chatterbait every 2-3 turns of the reel was what triggered most of the bites. Fished were caught in 1-6 feet of water.

CrappieTechniqueVertical Jigging Shallow (0-9')SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureMatted GrassSearch around points and humps at 10-12 feet deep. Using a slip bobber, find the weed edge and go to about 4-5 feet deep. Pink headed jig with a white body seems to be key. Weight is 1/32 oz to 1/16 oz for the jig. With this heat, the lake is starting it's algae bloom, so bright colors that contrast the green algae is something to think about. Pink and white color combos are a go to. Mini Mite for the win.

5/26/2022 water temp 64-66. Fish we’re shallow 1-3’ relating to hard cover there was a mix of pre spawn fish that had just pulled up spawners and post spawn fish. Found a few fish around docks in a small shallow cove adjacent to the main lake, however then most productive bite was in the sporadic lily pads that were beginning to emerge targeting the large heavy roots. By far the most effective technique for me was slow rolling a 6th sense bluegill color swim jig with a 3.8” kitech fat impact swing in bluegill flash.

No clarity in the water. Lots of points and humps.
