This time around I took the same youth in consecutive years, a first for me. Unfortunately, unlike last year when we had a bird tagged by 6:30 a.m., we weren’t so lucky this year. Four jakes at 80 yards and a cautious mature gobbler at 50 was the best I could do for my 14-year-old mentee, who could only hunt one day.

The fishing opener is nearly upon us in Minnesota – finally, once again, the chance to connect with friends and family, while at the same time, catch fish.
As with all other openers, water and air temperatures likely will dictate the willingness of walleyes to eat, but there’s usually an effective pattern going on somewhere. That’s true in early ice-out years such as this one, and it is with late ice-outs. But you just might need a handful of tricks up your sleeve to keep throwing at them.

In the past month, I’ve been tracking the notorious curlyleaf pondweed. Under optimal conditions, it can produce more than 700 stems per square meter (spacing of one stem every 2 inches). This presents not only a recreational hindrance, but when the stem density is that high, fish can barely swim through that dense jungle. It’s poor fish habitat.

Anglers rightfully equate the best salmon fishing on Lake Michigan with summer. Ideal water temperatures and schooling baitfish have salmon concentrated and at a heightened activity level, making them easier to catch.
But if you wait until summer to go salmon fishing, you’ll miss out on some great action. Anglers enjoy great spring fishing off Michigan ports like Grand Haven, Muskegon, and Whitehall in May. The salmon are close to shore, aggressive, and readily available to small-boat anglers.
