We’re starting off with another good year of open water fishing. Water temperatures are rising and the bite is on. We’re mostly jigging in 21-27 ft. off points and reefs. Frozen shiners and live minnows are the preferred bait. 3/8 oz. jigs are what’s mostly being used. Keep vertical and tight to the bottom. I’m seeing a nice mixed bag with saugers, walleye and jumbo perch with the occasional pike and there’s always a chance of a trophy fish. Good luck!
