after some nice weather another cold front moved in.weather has been up and down all spring,
sat. beautiful 60-70'S by mon 40's cold rain thru tues mid afternoon,weather report calling for nice weather warming rest of the week,
was out today,first trip out believe it or not,sure could have picked one of the nicer days to guide for sure,wind out of the ne 20,water temps 50-51.
did well considering. walleyes moved a bit deeper 16-20 seemed to be the magic depth but caught some at 12 and some as deep as 24' and dead sticking chart hooks with a good sized minnow outproduced jigging 4-1 ended up with 35-40 walleyes fishing 3/4 day most of them were 20-26" only caught 7 eaters but fritz did stick a nice 32" laker for a kicker.
in looking back through the day and also from bits and pieces from guides,guests,locals and reports from other lakes it seems as though the smaller fish/males are the ones holding the deepest at this time rather than shallower which would seem to make more sense. tommorrow i am going to try and fish deeper than where i am catching mostly slot fish to see if this is in fact a pattern at least for now because there where literally uncountable numbers of 12-16" diff year classes of fish last few seasons coming up,where the heck are they? got to be somewhere just got to find what they are doing.
danny and cal took a couple groups to a darker water lake and while they caught fish shallow in the am by afternoon they too found most action deeper in the same depth range as on eagle.
nice warmer weather coming in will bring fish up shallow again very quickly most likely by mid afternoon of the first good sunny warm day.
also got reports of bass moving up shallower into the rocky points at mouths of bays and very agressive on just about anything,small cranks,spinnerbaits,tubes,gulp minnows. one of the guides has been out last couple evenings scouting and having fun on his own doing very well on above avg size fish.
there have been some 42-47" muskies caught/boatside released also mostly just on jigs or spinners and minnows in the past several days.
