water temps are now into the mid 50's but struggling to get higher due to cool nites and front after front.
fishing has remained consistant but we need water temps to come up some table weather and winds to reach the next level.
some good catches being made in some bays however alot of fish and big ones coming anywere from 16-32'. alot more fish deep than you would think for this time of the season. got to be a lot of suspended fish also as we are seeing several spots light up in the pms dead during the day with basins nearby that got alot of hooks at 22-26'.
trout continue to be excellent and a good choice on the cold fronts,still 20-40of water.
bass are still behind but some being caught on points and rocks nearby spawning areas. should be coming in soon in numbers.
pike being caught by several groups up to 38"
UPDATE; 6 /4
YESTERDAY AT THE END OF THE DAY REPORTS WERE VERY ENCOURAGING. A DAY OF REAL NICE WEATHER COLD MORNING AND STARTED SLOW BUT BY LATE MORNING EVERYTHING STARTED TO TURN ON,SOME REAL NICE CATCHES REPORTED,NUMBERS OF WALLEYES TO 22-29" WITH A 30" YESTERDAY, JIGS DOMINATING RIGHT NOW BEST DEPTHS 16-22' ROCKY POINTS AND BARS OFF ISLAND CLUSTERS AND MAINLAND,AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY SHALLOW BARS AS THEY ARE MOVING ONTO THEM ALMOST LIKE JULY FISHING IN SOME AREAS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOME SHALLOW WARMING BAYS WITH EMERGING GRASS ARE ALSO HOLDING FISH AT 9-12'.
WHATS GOOD IS MANY MORE SPOTS PREVIOUSLY CHECKED ARE NOW STARTING TO HOLD FISH WHERE AS BEFORE THE CONSISTANT SPOTS WERE MUCH MORE LIMITED IN NUMBER,A GUY BCAN NOW MOVE AROUND MORE SEARCHING GOOD LOOKING STUFF AND FIND ACTIVE GROUPS OF FISH.
A BOAT WITH THE CIZEK GROUP POUNDED A NUMBER OF NICE BASS 17-19" IN SHALLOW ON ROCKS DOWN THE SIDE OF A SPAWNING BAY AND ANOTHER GROUP HAD A 20"+ SO THEWY ARE MOVING IN AND WHEN THEY START IT TENDS TO HAPPEN FAST,GOOD SIGN.
