First Thing In The Water

[cyclones]

What's the first thing you try on the morning of the Walleye opener? Jig, rig, or crank bait? Shiner, rainbow, leech, or crawler?

[Murph!]

Tradition is a jig tipped with a shiner minnow. Fish should be in the shallow water depths of 6 to 10 feet. I normally fish wind blown shorelines and points. I always bring leeches and crawlers with if needed. In the evening trolling shad raps is a good choice in the same shallow water. If you have multiple anglers in the boat mix colors and presentations trying to establish a patern.

Good luck, Murph
