Of the 3 I would hit Bald Eagle, the water usually is pretty murky so I like Black with a bright accent color. Haven't been out there this year though and sometimes the spring or early season water is much clearer than what it is after the weeds have been up for a while and the algae has bloomed. Best of Luck! They're in there!

TC chapter of MI has put a BUNCH of fish in White Bear in the last year or so. They're still small (in the 30's), but...

I've fished Bald Eagle on the opener, and the water can be fairly clear this time of year, and nice weed growth.

Keep driving north and go to Rush Lake. Less fishermen and better fishing.

WBL can be a tough opener lake b/c the water is so slow to warm up. But if I get a chance to fish this weekend, I will probably be there.....can't help myself.....

Good luck!
