Report is for May 11, Fishing Opener. Weather was mostly clear, high pressure. Water temps between 56 all the way up to 65 later in the day up shallow. I got out scouting some new tourney lakes for me. Fish weren't quite as up shallow as I would have expected. Some of it I attributed to the high pressure system that rolled through Friday night. Overall scouting I caught and saw plenty, but no bigguns. Ran the trolling motor about 2 speeds higher than I normally would have to try to see more water. Fish were really out on the deeper edge of reeds, caught a few on an All Terrain jig with craw, half ounce. Also caught some early on topwater. Overall a good day of scouting!

Took the kayak out for the fishing opener. Caught bass, walleye, and northern pike, all on a 3/16 oz VMC swim bait jig with a Bass Assassin Elite Shiner 4” paddle tail. All fish seemed to be schooled up between 6-10 FOW along the ledges.

Bass were on beds and cruising around emergent reeds in 3-4ft of water. Weightless rigged Berkley General on reed points, inside corners and edges got huge bites. Fish were concentrated in and around the reeds. Crappies also on beds in the reeds. Small 1/32oz jighead with small minnow plastics cast into openings and slowly jigged back. Sight fishing also worked great for crappies on beds. Another option is a cane pole and dropping a crappie jig into clumps of reeds.
