Spring Ahead!

Minnesotans know that most opening weekends in Minnesota are rarely calm, or for that case warm. If the wind is blowing hard and the jigs don’t seem to be working with either bait, then switch over to a live bait presentation. If using a locator, you should key your floating bait to be just above the depth you’re seeing  fish. The key is going as slowly as possible. There are a few ways to fight the wind and keep a slow presentation: anchor, drift bag, or back trolling. If  catching  fish in a certain area and depth, drop an anchor and cast out either lindys or jigs and slowly retrieving them over that area works well. A slip bobber can also work well in these types of situations. Using a bag to slow down your drift is another option to keep your presentation vertical to the bottom. Back trolling with lindy rigs is a good way to work different depths while keeping the boat speed slow. If the wind is really howling then a combination of a drift bag and back trolling can really help slow the boat and keep your presentation vertical.

 The key is to get out and try different presentations to see what produces the best results. Every spring is unique because the conditions can change so much. Two years ago, it was a beautiful spring.  Last year was a cold spring, but the opening weekend weather was warm with some wind. The fish weren’t taking the jigs with minnows, but were all over the lindy rigs and leeches. If opening weekend has been tough for you over the years then try slowing down and using different jigs and rigs. Remember, any day spent fishing is a good day!
