We had a good and bad opener this last weekend. We caught some big ones but overall we didn't get into the numbers like we usually do. We ended up with a 28 3/4", 23 1/2", and some other 20 inch fish as our largest. We caught them on a variety of baits including crankbaits, ringworms, and jig and minnow presentations. I think the walleye are just finnishing up spawning. The females were completely empty but the males were definitely not. Made for a lot of scattered fish or completely non-aggressive fish. I had some friends up fishing also and they got into a pile of males yesterday. I think they caught about twenty in a coouple hours. All of them were in that 16 inch range. Good eating sized ones. It's going to be a few days before these fish start really crushing baits but if you happen to get on the right spot in the next week you can get on a pile of males in the 16 to 18 inch range that will be very aggressive.
Good luck,
