With changing spring weather the temps have been all over the board this April. The water levels have been changing rapidly making for a daily chore keeping track of the flooding. Most of the water has receded off of the roads and access is not as much of a challenge as earlier in the month.
Most of the larger females in the initial push up river have spawned out. Many of the fish have moved out into Lake Koshkonong or have hunkered down in the river finding slack water to rest after the spawning ritual. Many of the walleyes this spring were nice size with many ranging between 17-23".
Most of the fish caught in my boat slipping the current using 3/8-1/2 oz. Northland Gum Ball Jigs adjusting the weight based on the current. Fishing the jigs tipped with Yum Walleye Grubs, Kalins Grubs, Berkley Gulp! Alive Minnows, Power bait 3" Grubs and Ringworm Grubs just to name a few. We also had success on the tougher days tipping the jigs with magnum fatheads, medium shiners or a half crawler.
The trolling bite should start to heat up running planer boards with cranks and crawler harnesses in the next few weeks. White Bass are starting to show up but are still not in the river in large numbers. The surface temp is approaching the mid-50's which means the White bass run is yet to come.
