I was out on Washington on wen's. The docks are in at the access next to Westwood. I fished some on the east side of the narrows did not catch anything. Spent most of my time playing with the boat adjusting the MinnKota and burning the fogging oil out of the engine.

If you put in by Westwood and go into the bay east and north of Westwind the Crappies were stacked up pretty good in about 20 feet of water. I ran out of time and had to leave.
I get confused on the names of the bays is that mud bay or is mud bay in front of Westwind ?

At any rate there was very little traffic and I was able to my take time launching and loading which is kind of nice the first time out.

Saturday the winds are supposed to be over 20 mph but it sounds like they will be down to less than 10 mph on Sunday. If you choose a lake that does not have the docks in you may want to make sure the access is protected somewhat or bring your waders.

I enjoy ice fishing but it is fun to get the boat out too. The fishermen were blessed this spring at how quick the ice went out. The time span between ice fishing and open water fishing was very short.
Hopefully this will help out the bait store owners and get the new owners of the Madison Lake shop off to a good start.

PUT THE PLUG IN !

Made it out to Roberds and Cedar by new prague. Caught 10 crappie sunny mix. Only 2 big enough to keep. Nothing on roberds. Been to redwing 6 times. Yesterday had 15 fish from 15 - 20 inchs, another 15 smaller ones. It was enough to keep me interested. There was alot of guys out there.

there are new owners at the bait shop in waterville also, just opened today. Was a nice day to be on the water for the first time.
