Breaking down everything you need to know to catch walleyes, perch, crappies and sunfish just after ice-out in early spring while going in-depth on fish location and movement, as well as tactics you can use
The crappie bite is picking up. Here’s what we’re finding this week …
Ice-out is complete, so it’s time for slabs and river walleyes.
The spring steelhead bite in northeast Ohio rivers is the thing fishermen are talking about these days.
Recent winds stirred up Lake Michigan and curtailed effort. For those that got out, there was good coho action around Portage from the mouth of Burns Ditch to the Port.
As waters warm, crappie fishing heats up across the state. Good fishing for crappies has already been reported at a number of lakes.
Bass fishing is good at Adams Lake, and 2-, 3-, and 4-pound bass are not uncommon, a testament to the 15-inch keeper limit.
It’s time to start looking for panfish in those traditional, spring locations. And don’t forget about border water, pre-spawn walleye fishing on lakes and rivers as well.
