Bass ranged from near shore to >6" water. All bass were caught around emergent vegetation. The area where it transitions from shade to sun seemed to be a hot spot. I slowly hopped the tube over the vegetation.

We got out for the MN fishing opener and it was rainy and windy! We looked for cover/rocks in shallow areas on the north side of the lake where the water was 67 degrees. It looked males were guarding beds and females were off. Most fish were small that we caught close to cover but the few better ones were caught tight to cover under laydowns.throwing a green pumpkin bang stickz with a 3/8oz tungsten got bigger bites. Ned rigs and a swim jig also got bites
