    Default Opener results

    Well the season started off cold and slow. Things picked up in the evening, but the high skies and lack of wind made the walleye bite tough. we managed as a group to get 2-27"ers a 24 1/2 " and several others in the 19-21" range. The numbers were down but they were still nice fish. Some observations, a couple of the females were spawned out but several of the females were spilling eggs all over as they were netted. The lake I was on I think is in the initial phases of spawning. The warm weather this week should get them going. Water temps for me were 40 degrees in the mornng and up to 46 degrees surface temp by the evening. The fish we caught were in 9-14 feet of water directly off of spawning areas. these next couple weeks should be good. We also caught some bonus fish a 30" pike and a few smallies with 2 of them, one 21" and a second was 21 1/2". we caught very few milking fish which leads me to believe that things are just getting rolling. I was not on any flowages this weekend so I can not speak for them. I would have to guess tht they should be a week of so ahead of the big lakes.
    Jigs and minnows were the best bet this weekend.
    The crappies are still deep but the warm weather and rain predicted for this week should move them closer to the spawning areas.

    Good Fishing,
