The water temperature is between 67 & 69 degrees. We are finding the walleyes in the shallows around 6 feet of water. We are using minnows and leeches on the windblown points and plastic in shallow waters.
Clark Odor’s niece caught a nice 22 inch walleye, this was her first trip to Canada and the other niece caught an 18” Bass.
The bass are up in the shallows on their spawning beds, still full of eggs. The small mouth bite is pretty consistent, but you have to vary your presentation from one day to the other. We are catching and releasing some pretty big ones, one day we caught over a dozen around 17 inches and we mainly have been targeting walleye, just dropping a line once in a while to check out the bass.
The Northern have been responding to jerk baits and small spinners. We are running into a lot of big Muskie when targeting Northern with smaller baits. The Muskie finished their spawn about 2 ½ weeks ago with opening on June 16th.
The jumbo perch are mixed in with the walleye on the points and are still averaging 10 and 11 inches.
The walleye have thicker girth do to the earlier spring, which should make for a better season. They have recently begun to move on the mid lake humps but are still in transition.
