    Fished a tournament on April 2 ended up catching 4 keepers for 10lbs and 2 shorts. The 4 keepers and 1 short were all on a Jewel finesse jig fishing riprap with laydowns on the main lake and just inside a pocket. Also caught 1 short on a 110 as well as lost one early. Ended up coming in 4th. First was 16lbs Second was a little over 11 Third was 10.03 and I was 4th with 10.01. Overall a decent day extremely windy which limited fishing areas.

    Fished for a few hours Tuesday evening. Caught 2 and lost a big one all on the magdraft. Tried flipping a jig and throwing a glide bait but couldnt get any bites. The 3 bites I got were all main lake rock. I tried 2 different pockets with wood and just didnt get anything but most reports locally are saying they are catching them there.

    Ice still on the lake. Getting ready to fire up with pre-spawn soon. Look for rocks and ledges around the lake.
