    Fish are everywhere in current and ledges on the Croix as seen on the ekectronics, but the frustrating thing is you don't know what they are. A drop shot with chunk of crawler or minnow however is always good at enticing multiple species to bite. In this case, drum were everywhere and guess what, they look and behave just like walleye on the electronics. To top it off, walleye and drum freely mix in the same habitats and you'll catch 5-6 drum for every walleye. Still, trolling with lead core and flicker shad crank baits at 20ft depth was the best tactic to get a better ratio of walleye to drum. We caught a handful of walleye and sauger but they were almost all less than 15 inches. Trolling success should only get better during the next months as walleye move into late spring/summer pattern

    Relatively slow bite for the Wisconsin Opener (although the St. Croix opened up one week earlier). Water temperatures were 50-55 degrees and warming fast with the light switch of a cold La Nina spring and summer seeming to flip overnight. As such, the bite will likely change day by day, so what I say here now, will likely be different tomorrow. Still, although fishing was slow, we picked up a couple nice fish along a current seam in a channel just north of the I94 bridge in Hudson. Pink glitter 1/4 oz jig with a fathead minnow was the ticket.
