Anything going on in the area? I am either going to Upper Spunk or Pelican. I havent been on either since the opener.

Hey genofish,

I have hit Lower Spunk a couple days ago and then spent all morning today out on Pelican. Water temp on Lower was 55 degrees a couple of days ago and I managed a few average Lower Spunk sized northerns and about a dozen largemouth (all catch and release). The largemouth bite was actually pretty good. The wind was pretty stiff so I did not stay as long as I normally would have.

This morning I got on Pelican at about 5:30am and it was nice out there today, no wind for once. Again I managed a few norhterns and a couple of LM. All the fish I got were in the NW part of the lake. Lots of suspended fish on the finder, most in 20 FOW and holding between 10-14 feet. Most of the fish were scattered and not too many in one area. Pelican was a bit colder than Lower though at only 49 degrees this morning. I've been trying to pull some eyes out of Pelican since last fall and have been unsucessful.....guess I'll keep trying until I get it right!

Good Luck!

I went to Pelican and had similar results.The water temp was
54

The boat landing on Big Watab was stuffed yesterday when I went by at 4:30, word is there are trout to be had out there... if you like trout

I was on Upper on Sunday afternoon and I noticed that the rain had dropped the water temp a few degrees from when I saw you out there last. We could only find a few small crappies in the bay which weren't big enough to keep. I didn't try for anything else. I'm hoping to get out to Upper this weekend sometime and try for walleyes. Maybe I'll see you out there.

I was on Upper today and lost a nice northern, my fault, I tightened the drag instead of losening it and lost my favorit lure in the process. I caught one LM Bass (released). I will be back out on Sunday with my kids looking for sunnies. If any one is out stop by and say hi, I will be the guy trying to keep a 6yr old and a 4yr old from falling out of my bass boat

Genofish - Did you make it out to Upper? If so how did you do?
I'm thinking of trying it this evening.

No, I didnt make it out. I will be going out to upper tonight.

I found some panfish and a nice sized bass in the weeds right when I got there but I didn't have much luck with the walleyes, which is what I was after. I did see one on the underwater camera so I worked the area pretty good, but I couldn't get any eyes to bite.
The water temp was 57 - 60 with 58 being the most common.
I hope you had better luck!
