Fishing opener in 3 days

[BRoth82]

The spring walleye/Northern pike/bass opener is only a couple days away now here in MN. I typically don't fish for walleyes, so I'll be out bass fishing. The water temps are in the low to mid 50's and with the sunshine the panfish bite up shallow has been on fire, and contrary to popular belief they are not up spawning, that's still a few weeks to a month out.

Good luck to everyone heading out fishing this weekend.

Looks great! I have family up there and I really wanna go try to catch some walleyes even if I have to get a guide since no one has a boat. I'm hoping to get out next week with this warm up, it has been very cold in the mornings lately. Good luck!

I’ll be getting out after some eyes on Sunday! However I’m not gonna pass up anything that wants to take a ride hole to the fryer! Good luck!

Opener was slow made it out for a couple hours, caught 6 bass and a pair of northerns. Also caught the biggest fish out of the water, at 191 pounds. Luckily the jig only went in up to the barb hurt like heck though. I tried to boat flip a 3 pounder and the jig shot like a rocket and hit my arm.

The big bass was 18" long and weighted in at 4# 10oz, really fat bugger.

Thats a darn nice bass around these parts. Haven't made it out yet working all weekend. The weather looks nice mon and tue. Plus the lakes will be quieter and should have some reports in of what the walleyes were doin.
