First of all I want to say I am glad to be back on the board. Not on much over the winter as I don't ice fish so that and work have made it hard to come online. Now that all species are open I will be back with some productive posts.

Fished for a couple of hours 2 weekends ago for walleye and caught half a dozen in a couple of hours, nothing that big and only managed one within the slot.

As for bass opener, I went out for 2 hours Saturday morning and caught a total of 17 bass. I lost 2 and one was the biggest of the day I think. They varied and size and the smallies had lots of spunk and put up some epic fights with many flips out of the water. Only 2 were largies and rest were all smallies. They were stacked up in a couple of spots and the action was fast and furious.

Saturday night I hit the water for about 30 minutes in front of my place until my daughter was crying for me to come back in so I manged only 2 bass with this missile.

Sunday morning it rained and really came down at times so I packed up and headed back to the city. Once again was a great opener with limited time out there. As much as I love my wife and daughter, to all the single guys, stay single and you will be able to fish more. Wish I could have been out there all day but nothing beats quality family time.

 

Kudos to the guys fishing through that downpour Sunday morning.

 

Got a couple of days off this week so will be fishing during the week. Cheers and hope you all had a great opener. See ya soon.

 

Dirk

Yes lots of fish like that and then some in Rice Lake.

Didn't keep any for dinner. Was hoping for some Crappies but caught none.

I hope to play Bellmere Winds soon. Haven't played there in a couple of years, would rather go fishing.

Yes some great shore spots. PM for details.
