Location: Racine, Wi | Not quite 65. but over 50. 
As of the last couple of days of April, it was in the 53 range. Should be in the mid fitties+ on Okauchee by the end of Saturday with the weather that's coming. |

Location: Racine, Wi | I would suspect they will all be similar, but I would think Pewaukee will be a little warmer, at least on the east end. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Weeds will be down this year on Pewaukee Lake. Green weeds are starting to show up in the shallows. Due to lots of ice and snow most of the lake weeds dropped to the bottom this winter.
Water temps will be in the low to mid 50's on the West half and mid to upper 50's on the East half. Thats my opening weekend forcast. Muskies will be post spawn, walleyes and northerns will be active. Bass will be active and in the pre-spawn mode working into the shallows.
Okauchee water temps will be about 4 to 6 degrees cooler in the main lake and about the same as other area lakes in the narrows and larger shallower bays.
For muskies I would start off with slow gliders, twitch baits and live bait in the early hours of the day. As the water temps rise, the fish will get more active. Faster and more erratic presentations will trigger strikes. Bull Dawgs to bucktails can work in the heat of the Spring afternoons.
Good luck to all. |
