I wish I had your enthusiasm! A Late spring with rain seeming every for two weeks doesn’t have me too excited. |

Location: Forest Lake, Mn | Did anyone have any success? We put in 1/2 day fishing Deer lake on Sunday. We saw 3 that were just lazy follows, it was nice being on the lake before the masses showed up.

Location: Chicago, IL | I was on a larger lake in Vilas, water temps were shifting - 47 one spot and 52 in another. Had a low 30’s strike just as I was going into the 8 but jumped and came unpinned as I was going for the net. Had another 30” fish swipe at the bait boatside but never got hooks, and moved another low 40s fish that came in hot then just turned around. Moved some fish and saw some nice ones sunning shallow in 4ft of water or less. 500 sized tinsel bucktail and 5” cranks. |

| I had tremendous action on a large lake in Presque Isle. I ended up putting NINE in the net through yesterday until 11am. The smallest fish was about 28" with the biggest at 45" along with a hand full of 36"s and a couple at 40". Every single fish came on a 4" Phantom soft tail. I saw and talked to guys who were on the struggle bus throwing lures way to large for the conditions.

Location: NorthCentral WI | Good job Cfollow! Talk about a great opening weekend... can't argue with those results!
I fished the WI river all day Saturday and blamed my lack of results on the wind, high water, and cold water temps. Ha! Family kept me busy the rest of the holiday weekend. Thanks to the vets who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could be out doing what we love.
