Bob Devine Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 The river is just starting to heat up as the water temps begin to rise. Good action last wk before the snow, wind and rain turned the water to mud. Most anglers have been jigging using 3/8 -3/4 oz jigs, chartruese always seems to work well with orange being another good one. With most winds coming out of the N and E this year fishing has been taking place on the Michigan side of the river. Look for things to get better for the next 3 wks as fish will be finished spawning and ready to chow down. This past wknd the Maters Walleye Circuit was in town and 56 of the 112 teams came to the scales with over 30lb bags for 5 walleyes. We finished 7th with 38.27lbs respectivley, the winners had 43.49lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbles Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well done Bob, I have not faired quite as well just yet, been too muddy for me so far. I have only managed 1 OOS Musky in my 2 times out so far. Need winter to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) That's a normal average for a Lawrence tourney weights... With three fish weigh ins the winner usually has 20-25 lbs Edited April 19, 2011 by Musky Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
