I fished a college tournament out here April 24th, and the water temp was 52-55. The wind was blowing 20 mph out of the SW. We caught probably 20 largemouth that were under shallow docks. And would fish behind other college teams that were fishing the same docks as us. The fish were near the bases of the docks and would only eat a senko that was deadsticked. They were not aggressive but there were often more than one fish under the same dock we just had to pick it apart and fish it extremely slow. The color didn't matter but just letting it sit there did. Sometimes it would take 15-30 seconds for the fish to bite. We took 3rd with 12.50 lbs.

Finished at the bottom of the pack during the tournament today. Really cold conditions but caught a couple on the Bassman Spinnerbait and jackhammer but did not find the any size except for a 40” musky.

I was fishing the Wisconsin Dells dam and setting minnows out for walleyes. I managed to catch 5 walleyes doing that and I would recommend to get some leeches!

Finished 2nd out of 15 boats last weekend. The fish were pre spawn and feeding heavily with 70 degree warming conditions. It was a sunny morning with little wind. We fished around docks in shallow warm water areas with wacky rigs to generate a lot of bites. A couple fish were caught flipping a finesse jig around rock. The wind picked up in the afternoon. This allowed for a swim jig bite to get going and generate a couple key bites.

Struggled to with the warmer weather. Fish were still in early pre spawn mode. Managed to get a reaction bite with deflecting a squarebill in lay downs. Also caught a nice smallmouth around a nothing bank in Wiggins bay with green pumpkin jackhammer.

I fished shallow Saturday morning, mainly targeting 3-8 f.o.w on flats just off the main river channel. The key was weeds. The walleye and sauger were up in there chasing bait. Jig and plastic saw the most action and produced more bites. Casting cranks was also effective at triggering fish. Most fish were "shorts" with one 18" walleye caught.
