How about musky on some bass gear! 🤣 Obviously not the preferred method here. But found it shallow under a dock and it hit the ned. Saw a few others up shallow as well today. Shimano Mastiff fluoro leader held up nicely too!

Founds some fish in 8-12 feet on some weed edges. Drop shot was the only thing getting hits.

Points
Went to Wapo for the Wisconsin opener. Main lake water temps about 55F, while air temps ~80F and sunny with 10-15mph breeze from the SW. Water clarity was very good. While the numerous bays were warming to 57-58 there was little sign of spawners or bait up shallow. I moved to main lake points near spawning areas and found prespawn females in 8-13’ in small pods. Nearby weed and rock seemed to be key. My first time using the new Venture Lures BRS Craw (Omnia original color or black/blue) on a homemade or Outcast Elite football jig and they ate the jig well while paused on the bottom. I have to say these trailers really hold up and still intact after a limit of 2-3lbers. Fished them on Daiwa Kage 7’3” mh rod with Tatula SV103 and Sufix 131 30lb braid with FG knot to 12lb Sufix Advance Fluoro. Had to keep moving until you found them as this lake has a ton of structure. They should be moving up very soon to spawn and I will add a jerkbait and wacky senko to the rotation.

Natural color looking jig with slow moving craw trailer since the water is still cold. Working it above the weeds and lean towards a lighter jig with smaller presence.

Bluegill
Probably one of the better numbers days I've ever had. Caught close to 100 largemouth with average size between 2 to 3.5 pounds. The biggest producer was the frog fishing it over matted vegetation or walking it in open water.

Working the weed lines in about 7 feet of water allowing the chatter bait to sink to the tops of the weeds, then burn it and rip it through the grass. More bites happened when you cast parallel with the edge of the weed line since fish tend to hunt along the edges.

The key was to find a hard bottom. Docks around hard bottom were very productive. 2-3 fish off each dock. A wacky worm will also work, it was too windy to effectively fish a wacky on this day,
