Got out on May 15th. Mostly sunny day, some wind. Fished in sturgeon bay. Bass were still prespawn. Lots of 2-4lb fish were up on shallow flats (3-5') on rock or rock/sand transitions. They hit black hair jigs the best. I would recommend to stick with 6-8lb fluoro for line size. First time using the new St Croix Legend Tournament rods... I have the 7'3" MLXF and very much enjoyed it. Go catch em!
