Had a banner day Sunday for fishing opener for smallmouth bass. Found them up tight to shore and under trees. Weightless wacky did the trick on pulling them out! What a day to start of the season.

I suppose it would be impolite to ask where?  Isn't Bass season still closed south of 53, or did they change the rules?

Bass is opens State wide for catch and release with the traditional game fish opener.

Harvest season begins at the traditional bass opener(except for the northern range, that opens with gamefish opener.)

So they did change the rules.    Thanks for the update, I missed that.

Thanks guys for the comments! These fish are just too much fun! 

 

Delececchi - Like the other guys already mentioned. We have an early catch and release season almost state wide now. Pretty cool for us bass guys. Hope you get out on your rivers now!

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉

      Haven't owned a hand auger in ages. Three feet of ice, couldn't imagine hand drilling a bunch of holes. I have an old gas auger you can use, if you can get it going 😀.
