Suk's hardly a flake of snow this past winter and now it's been raining every few days.  Which we, the farmers and the lakes need, but!

I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.

 

It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

[Kettle]

Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

[smurfy]

New signs going up this year  

[smurfy]

Winnie outpost posted this picture on the book of faces yesterday.  Traffic on hwy 2 heading into deer river.  They are limiting the amount of bait, mainly minnows, per individual.

Fish are still very shallow with water Temps near 60. Two guys tonight 19 total kept 10

[Kettle]

The water Temps on most lakes are low 60s. Crappies in the shallows on just about every lake. Best time of year

[smurfy]

gonna try chasing them too!!!!!!! i gotta list of lakes i wanna hit next week.......just not sure what order yet!!!!!!!!!! decisions.......decisions!!!!!!!

[Kettle]

So much rain these past few weeks. I only seem to get days off post cold front. Made the most of it recently. Water Temps still in the 50s. Not sure the crappies have even spawned, definitely not the bluegills. Walleye still really shallow 

 

[smurfy]

Smurfy, you know where that Kettle guy fishes?  Might have to sneak over there!

[Kettle]

I don't fish any secret lakes. I research the lakes on the DNR website with good walleye numbers. I spent a lot of time learning side imaging. I'll scan for an hour or two if need be to find the fish. Nothing crazy for techniques. Either pitching a jig or back trolling with lindy rigs. If either of you two ever want to go let me know

well.........i'll be back up june 10th to the 16th. the 10-11-12th i'll be there by myself!!!!!

 

i'd even be OK with meeting at a neutral place and go to the lake blindfolded!!!!!!!! 

 

leech...he is over there.........just forgets about us FM  rejects!!!!!!!

[knoppers]

was up at the lake all week, water temps 65-66 today, and the crappies are now spawning. did not try for walleyes this week, but got my eye on a couple of lakes.

[smurfy]

not too bad at my place, but they are starting to come out. about the only time they get abundant is when I pull my skeeter out of the garage.
