What a difference a day can make!
Friday was a nice spring day, we
had several boats come in with a
limit of crappies. Saturday gave
us some tough conditions, north
winds and rain-snow most of the
time. The walleye were biting
real well for those that braved
the weather with the cleaning
house being quite busy. Today
turned into another very nice
day with calm winds and again
quite a few success stories. A
warm up supposed to make our
way by weeks end, we're ready

Sat was brutal!! We did well though but it was almost more work than fun. Did even better Sun when the weather was nice. My boat with 2 people caught 105 walleyes the two days. For me it was spectaular action.

I agree Sat near Brainerd wasnt much differnt at our Duck Inn cabin- snow that blew at a blinding slant at 10 pm after an inch and 1/2 of rain- i just stumbled around in the cabin with my 2 canes protecting my new new hip-
did you snag any crappies on that end? did you troll or bobber fish? what colors or lures or did nt it matter? what dept? any gators or drummy's, sheephead?
they were having darn good luck on crappies on the north end in 3 ft of water
anyone catch a sunny yet or a decent perch?
how was the boat traffic? boat landing dept for water?
glad you had a good time even with the weather

3 boats, no crappies. 6 ft of water was key. Anything pink or red. Shiners worked best. Some plastics. Appreciate the conversation with you last week Russ. Feel free to PM me.

The forecast doesn't sound too
bad with sw winds blowing in a
little warmer air tomorrow. The
walleye and crappie continue to
bite when the winds have allowed
people to get out. With the cool
water temps I think the slabbers
will bite off and on for several
weeks yet. I haven't heard many
pike being caught but most are
after the "eyes" and slabs.

We had southerly winds most of the day so
we had quite a few boats go out today. The
rain moved in and chased most off by 4:30.
Quite a few walleye were caught, both slot
and keeper size. Seeing a few more crappie
coming in off the rock piles and shallows
this week. I think it will only get better
as the water temps flirt with 60 degrees
plus. Sounds a little damp for Friday but
SW winds may heat things up Saturday!
