Techniques & Tips as of 3/27/23
Bass fishing has picked up with the recent warm weather and low clear water conditions. Many of the bass are still in or near their winter holes. Musky are getting finicky as they prepare to spawn. Be ready to fish smallmouth in the deep ledges, largemouth near submerged deep timber, and musky in the deepest holes.
