Aggressive jigging for the high pressured fish. The big bait helped weed through the small fish.

Water temps about 80 degrees most places. Overcast and windy this morning. I was fishing outside weed edges in 8-10 with the wind blowing into them. A chatterbait and and white double willow burned over the top some good bites. Later in the morning I picked up a couple throwing a Spro Bronzeye frog near rocks and shoreline vegetation. Strikes came within a foot or two of shore.

First time out on Waubesa today prepping for a kayak tournament on Monday. Had 10 bass on and landed 8. I hooked into 6 bass all under one specific dock which is the most I have ever picked up off of one dock before. One of the fish I landed was a northern towards the end of the day. The bite is hot on Waubesa right now and if you are considering fishing there I would recommend you do!

Check out my YouTube Channel, @ECRD Fishing! Fish were not spawning quite yet. Struggled on main lake where water was too clear and 59 degrees, also struggled in Upper Mud where water was too cloudy and 60. Finally, we were ready to give up when we hit a small, protected canal on the NW side of Upper Mud. That is where they were! Caught 4 big ones and missed 4 more! 2 on Swim Jig, 2 on Wacky Worm. Water in canal was 62, but we were taking water temp in afternoon when it is at its warmest. Also our thermometer is in the top 5 inches of the water column, so reading may be inaccurate. Tight lines!

The 2 pound largies are feeding up hard on the blue gills! I pulled 4 off one bluegill bed area alone. Fish those swim jigs right over the tops and around the weed edges and you’ll smash them!
