Bass season opens this weekend. They are
still in shallow water and they
are active . Most anglers that are still
fishing for Crappies and Sunfish
are catching Bass also. Look for inside edge
of cabbage weeds, pockets of
weeds on the flats, or cover close to shore
like docks and deadfall as these
areas are all holding fish. Crankbaits,
spinners, bobbers/bait, or jigs will
all work.
Hot Bass lakes will be
Long, Floyd, Cotton, and the Detroits. For
Smallmouth check Cormorant, White Earth and
Island.
Walleyes are in shallow
still and jigs/rigs with shiner minnows is
still the most productive bait.
Look to the 6-11ft water
on large flats that extend into the main
lake
areas. Spots on the flat that have cabbage
weeds, rocks/gravel, or clambeads will
attract fish.
