Location: syracuse indiana | dont listen to mike, he must be bored. late april can tricky but we dont have ice then.. . all i can say is go slow and use smaller tails and cranks. and use suckers also .. i always use suckers until the temps reach 60 or so then they are gone till fall. alot of big fish can be caught at this time. the state record was caught april 1st |

As much as I'd like to be there, I won't be able to make it. Bring it home for MMA again this year Jim! |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Well, last year I bagged a 48.5 pre-spawn there at the end of March. We'll see if lightning will strike twice in the same spot! |

| Good luck getting that out of him. By the 3rd week in april the fish should be in or about to enter spawn mode and the prespawn bit should be winding down. Last year the temps where running around the low 50's that weekend with the fish starting to spawn. However if you adjust you tacktics there is always a way to catch them. And hey if you want a hand give me a call. |

Maybe if there wasn't over 5000 users here..... HAHA!! All I'll say is look for the baitfish. The big girls still have to eat. |
