We were fishing 15-30 feet of water. A lot were caught in about 26-29 feet of water. Using blade baits and jigging raps ripping them off the bottom. Biggest was 20 inch fish caught about 45 between 8” to 20” fish. Try to get away from the crowed and find bait fish we had 38 for water temp.

Slow, winding small to medium size cranks, bouncing off of the rocks where the smallmouth bass are pulling up on an extreme shallow water. They’re looking for the warmest water and the most sun. Smaller sized fish, but water is still cold. Maribou hair jig got some bites to.

River rig two swim baits. Not as many bites as the guys fishing live bait, but much better quality fish, keeping in contact with the bottom.

Good pre-spawn bite from shore up by Red Wing. Short cast and slowly dragging a Moxie and 1/4 oz jighead was key.

Found fish on breaks and current seams both by the dam and down river. Blade baits were the most productive, with a few bites coming on a jig and plastic. All females caught were still firm and it seems as if we have yet to reach the peak spawn.
