BASS?

[partyonpine]

Any reports on the bass activity are they getting close to pre-spawn or are they in pre-spawn will be up starting Monday the 1st and hoping they are going nuts.  This is our annual fishing trip with my buddies to the cabin.  Walleye fishing has been great the last few years but I am a bass fisherman at heart and with the late spring last year was really tough.  Even up on Trout caught fish but not like most years.  Just wondering if you guys are seeing them around and if so the depth.  Cant wait and to catch some big bull Bluegills on Trout as well and have some fun with a good and sometimes loud group.

I'm a walleye guy.....I really don't ever bass fish. Last Saturday afternoon I decided to mess around with a crappie jig up shallow and caught  5 smallies in a half hour. All 2-3 lbs ......and this giant. Right at 21", by far my biggest ever

Very nice fish.

I have heard that there are a few big small mouths being caught while walleye fishing in the shallow water rocks now.

Must be very close to the spawn.

Late May, early June = Smallie magic.

Was hoping that would be the case for the smallies just turning on.  And awesome fish nothing like a battle with a hog like that.  Cannot wait, stupid office cannot focus what so ever.

The Smallies are hitting very well in the shallows right now. Rocks docks reed beds, boulders, wood and shoreline rubble are all producing some nice fish right now. Jerk baits, spinnerbaits, cranks and topwaters are all catching fish for me right now.
