Hey Sportsfans! Ready…Set…GO…The green flag dropped and the opener has come and gone. What a FUN weekend!! Things were in full gear on Friday night with enthusiastic fishermen ready to test the waters. Good times had by all…man it’s good to be back!
A full fleet of guide boats set sail Saturday morning and scattered about the river and the main lake. The best bet was in about 22 feet along Pine Island from the Lighthouse Gap to the Morris Point Gap…anchor up and JIG JIG JIG! With plenty of slot fish and trophy walleyes, it was tough to find some good eaters…but hey, I guess that’s an ok problem to have sometimes!
3/8 oz. jigs have been the weight of choice of the guides…you could go lighter as the current isn’t real strong. We’ve had a cold, rainy stretch here since the opener but temps are looking up for the latter part of this week. The water temperature is sitting around 47 degrees.
With warmer air and a bit of sunshine in the forecast, we’re anticipating another great weekend! If you don’t have plans…get up here and…
SET THE HOOK!!
