Early Spring Walleyes can be tough some times, if it is a cold late spring use your electronics and look deep. Start at the firs break and work your way into deeper water out to 30 to 35 feet to locate your fish. Use the lightest jig you can get away with tip it with a minnow and work it slowly. Tie a short piece of mono to your braid about 5' long and check the last few feet of line often for nicks in your line. Good Luck!

One of the funnest times of the year to fish, is fishing for Smallmouth Bass on Rainy Lake in the spring. Just find a rocky shoreline that shallow water extends out on a shallow flat mixed with rocks, gravel, and sand. Cast the DT-4 onto the shoreline as close as you can to shore, and just start working the shoreline. Very your retrieve speed and direction as you reel your bait in. I like using the DT-4's because they are very durable, cast like a rocket, they float, and they have very sharp hooks. Make sure you check your line often as the first 5'-10' get very nicked up easily doing this kind of fishing.
