The big problem with the opener weather was the lack of some wind. Of course we have to be careful what we wish for, but a little wind would improve the bite. This is fact on Leech for as long as I can remember.

We had a pretty good opener for the most part. You had to grind it out and move several times to locate active fish. On the opener folks usually flood an area when they see a few boats. In shallow water the boat traffic turns off the fish, they become spooky or leave the area. I have never seen the number of boats on Leech that we witnessed this week end.

Fished today, Monday a few hours, we caught 5 fish in the range of 21 to 25 inches. The fish were caught in 21 to 25 feet on jigs and minnows in 3 different locations. Another negative aspect on the bite is a bug hatch, walleyes are gorging on the new little bastxxxs. Keep on moving and experimenting with presentations. Live bait rigs tipped with minnows also fooled a few fish, especially with a long snell.
