Was on the water before 7am, steady wind on a cool Easter/Birthday morning, but clear skies and promise in the air.
1st of all I fished till about noon, mostly mid lake. I saw only 2 other boats all day.
Water is still very cold.
Wind let up for a couple of hour about 9am then picked back up before I left.
As for the fishing, Great day of early season bass fishing.
I was casting crankbaits, bass seem to not be real shallow, caught most with deep divers off thew banks a bit. Fishing was sort of slow, but all the fish were very nice. All about 15-16 inches, caught one about 13.5 inches. Total 8 landed, one got off. The bass were decent fighters, but you can tell they were sluggish. Used a slow retrieve.
Caught a bonus of 2 rainbows.
I did try for Walleye a bit, but I'm not really sure how to fish for them, so I got a goose ege and went back to bass.
I did try a bottom bouncer, however after research since I've discovered I was using it wrong. I guess that does not mean I'd have caught one fishing one correctly.
I'll try again this weekend as long as the stars stay aligned.
Make sure to try a bottom bouncing spinner with worm, I hear they can work.
