Fishing Report for May 10
Saturday I guided out on the chip, We fished on the west side, started out casting Reef Runner ripsticks, over the weed tops in about 8-10 feet of water with thick weeds, we caught a pile of fish, a little bit of everything, caught largemouth bass up to about 4 1/2-5 pounds, pike up to 36 inches, crappie, perch, walleye, all but one over 20 inches.
We would cast stickbaits until we caught fish, and then slip bobber the area, didn't matter if we caught bass, pike or walleye, got about half of our walleye on slip bobbers with minnows, and the other half on stickbaits. the reason for that was if the bass or pike were active the walleye would be too, and more cases than not it was true.
Caught all of our fish while it was snowing out in the morning, when the snow stopped, the fish stopped. seems like for me when you have overcast and wind I would rather fish the shallow weeds and cover water with the stickbaits, its where you will find the bigger fish, and that is when they are the most active.
water temp was 50-52 degrees. the fishing on the chip this year so far has been feast or famine, Saturday was a feast, great fishing!!Hope this helps everybody out.
Good Luck,
Tanner Wildes
