The number of good walleyes being caught has definitely decreased because of the heat, but hopefully, expected cooler temps will improve the bite.
These fish are feeding just a few feet below the surface. Breaking down the simple flatline trolling system with planer boards, shallow-running stickbaits, and crankbaits to cover water and find active fish.
Plenty of walleyes are being caught and the nice crappie bite has continued. Plenty of people are starting to switch over to more typical summertime presentations, such as pulling plugs and bottom-bouncing.
Some stable conditions this past week but things look to be changing as we look ahead. Regardless, we have some consistent patterns developing as we focus on late spring into early summer.
The key element is using the right jig at the right time.
Whether you’re fishing a new lake or your favorite local spot, these simple adjustments can make a huge difference on your next trip.
A lot of changes this past week but things are looking good.
The walleye bite continues to improve as the water warms, especially in the northeast portion of the state, and the crappie bite has taken off in many areas as the lilacs bloom.
This past week has (once again) been nothing short of interesting and keeping us on our toes with back-and-forth conditions, patterns, weather …
The crappie are starting to bite of late.
