I started out in 4’ to 6’ in an invisible reed bed because the ice ate the reed beds this year. After half an hour fishless I moved to 2’ to 3’ range still nothing. So I went shallower and found fish along the shoreline cattails, old rice, and the only remaining reeds. A Texas rigged Z-Man Turbo FattyZ in Houdini did work. Houdini IS an amazing color on Sullivan and Platte. I finished the night running NW to the river mouth where I got the 19” on the TurboFattyZ. I also got a solid 2 liber on a Craw Tube. I got 11 bass for the trip.

I only had about an hour to fish on the morning of the MN Fishing Opener. I went right to the river mouth on the NW of the lake and was rewarded with some top water action after losing a couple of really nice sized bass on the Chatterbait EVO. The bass I got on the Shower Blows were one to two pounds with a couple of bigger fish that swirled, but didn’t hook up. I hated to leave with fish biting, but I had things to do.
