Opener Reports

[bowhuntingboy1]

Hi, I had no luck finding the fish this weekend, it was rough. I'm not asking for spots, just asking for reports on how people did on bass, walleyes, and crappies and any depths. I looked for anything heading in to spawn with the low water temps, but found nothing. 

Thanks

We went to a lake in northern pine county and the water was 48f and the bass were in the emerging pad beds 4-6' chasing small square bills. Got a few crappies mixed in.

I’m guessing you had low to mid 50 degree water temps?  For bass that’s pre-spawn staging usually.  Pressure was over 30 today also.  

 

I didn’t turn many but the few I did were in 5-7 fow, in the weeds just deep enough they were hard to see.  Pretty much where I expected them to be.  We tried deeper and up to the bank.  Nada.

 

I didn’t take the time to fish plastic when I got hit on the pause of the Shadow Rap but would’ve probably picked some up that way.  Fish those mid depth staging areas - depth depends on water clarity.  Fish slow and small.

Yeah, it was like 51 ish. Wasnt the greatest weather though. This huge warmup we have this week should kick everything into gear.
