What a difference a couple of warm days
make. The water temperature in the bay is now 64 degrees.
Some blue gill and largemouth have been caught pretty
close. Walleyes have been caught in 12-28 ft. of water
primarily along shorelines. Some shallow walleyes have be
taken as well trolling or casting. Harlan Van Wyhe's first
fish was a 28 incher this week.
Eric and I spotted some spawning muskie yesterday right at
our dock. Diane, Eric and Valerie have spotted a few while
out on the paddleboat.
We've had quite a few bald eagles
hanging around our place this year more than normal I'd say.
Yesterday we had one in the tree at the end of our dock.
Spring can be an interesting time to see birds. We've seen
Baltimore Orioles this year and Hummingbirds.
Slip bobbers and leeches have been
working on some smallmouth locations. Paul Hrvol, Jr. caught
an 18" smallie today and he started at the dock with a nice
15 inch largemouth.
I've heard of a report that the
crappies were thick in Mud Creek Bay this past week. Have
not experienced this first hand though.
May your pole always be bent! Dave
