Lunker Report

[Mat Hegy]

With the mild weather the fishing has been hot. All species are holding in the new weeds in the 2-10 foot range on most lakes. Walleye have been doing very well on a jig and Fathead minnow or Leech. Also a side notes that I have been getting fish all day with a peak early and late.
Bass have been doing their annual love fest and can be found very shallow along with Bluegills in the same areas in some cases.
Musky opens this weekend and we are set up for a great opener. I would say Mepps #5 and small crankbaits should be hot this weekend. As always there may be some action on top water in the evening and larger baits during the day so don't get stuck in the spring rut, water temps are a little warmer than we normally see this time of year. Many fish seem to be showing signs of early summer patterns verse Memorial Day weekend. Go out and catch some fish this weekend, and good luck

Glad you got a report up, with Muskie Matt out of town, I haven't had my RFRG fix yet this week, so this is helping!!! How's the new shop coming???

Building is coming along, walls are going up this weekend. Lots of reels coming in so that has slowed down the progress. But I can't complain.

Mat:

I gave your name to a guy regarding reel services for this weekend, I had no access to a computer to find out a number to give him. He was missing the worm gear on an Abu 5600 and the cap that holds the pawl in. Hopefully he gave you a call and you had time.
