Three Lakes Chain

LATE POST
WAS UP FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEK.  MOST FISH CAME EARLY AND LATER IN THE DAY.  PLASTICS, MINNOWS, AND CRAWLERS WORKED WELL FOR US.  WE DID NOT TROLL OR CAST CRANKS.  MOST FISH WERE CAUGHT IN UNDER 10'.  WE DID NOT LOCATE MUCH  IN DEEP WATER THIS TRIP.   WE DID NOT GET A LOT OF CRAPPIES IN OUR SPOTS AND IT SEEMED TO US THE SPAWN WAS AT THE TAIL END.    

LATE REPORT FROM OPENER.  FISHING WAS OK FOR US UNTIL THE COLD FRONT CAME .  WE WOULD GET ON PERCH IN ABOUT 9' CATCH SOME AND THEY WERE GONE.  CAUGHT SOME CRAPPIES IN DEEPER WATER (15' PLUS) THEN WE COULD NOT LOCATE THEM ANYWHERE ONCE THE COLD CAME IN.  WALLEYES WERE OK, BUT DID NOT APPEAR IN THEIR USUAL SPOTS FOR US.  JIG AND A MINNOW TOOK MOST OF THE FISH FOR US, A FEW ON PLASTICS.  FISHED THE ENTIRE CHAIN FROM LONG TO BIG.  WATER TEMPS WERE 49-53F.  STAYED TILL WEDNESDAY DUE TO LEAVING FOR COLLEGE GRADUATION.
WILL BE BACK UP MEMORIAL DAY WEEK.
NEW BAIT STORE IN TOWN APPEARS TO BE DOING WELL.

Thank you guys for the advice you gave me.   Fishing was decent despite the 4 inches of rain we got when we were up there.   

UP ALL LAST WEEK AND THE BITE WAS DIFFICULT FOR US.  WALLEYES WERE ALL OVER IF YOU WANTED 6-8" ONES.  THE TEMPERATURE ON THE LAKES WAS STILL IN THE UPPER 50'S.  TRIED OUR "SPOTS" MANY TIMES EACH DAY AND SLOW.  CRAPPIES WERE DEEP ON MINNOWS.  THE WEATHER WAS NICE BUT NOT PRODUCTIVE FOR FISHING.  WE WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT IN TWO WEEKS AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL HAVE TURNED OVER BY THEN

LOOK FOR THE UNDERWATER ISLANDS,  THEY WILL USUALLY HAVE WEEDS AROUND THEM.  

I always found finding remaining green weeds was helpful. Even if shallow. 

Hello everyone, 
  Im up in the chain for the week at the family cottage.   Water temps 66.  Im trying locate fish.   Should i fish the rock humps?  Also trying to find weeds the hold fish.  I'm looking for some helpful advice.  Thank you very much in advance.  

UP LAST WEEK FOR 6 DAYS.  FISH WERE A BIT HARDER TO LOCATE AS THE WATER TEMPERATURE WAS STILL UP TO 71/72 DEGREES WITH THE WARM WEATHER.  WALLEYES FOR US CAME IN DEEPER WATER 18' PLUS.  THERE WERE ALSO CRAPPIES MIXED IN WITH THE WALLEYES.  KEPT SOME WALLEYES FOR DINNER AND ALL THE CRAPPIES WERE RELEASED FOR ANOTHER DAY.  BRIGHT JIGS WITH MINNOWS AND CRAWLERS.  DID NOT LOCATE PERCH IN OUR USUAL SPOTS THIS TIME.

Been finding crappies stacked on submerged structure. There are a few stragglers roaming around these areas as well. Not super active fish - have to hit them in the head to trigger a bite. Pike have been active at times in the weeds. Frogs have been getting hits but tough to get good hook sets.

Anyone know where bass might be hiding? Haven’t seen any!

SLOW UP THERE LAST WEEK.  FISHED EARLY AND INTO THE EVENING.  MOST WALLEYES CAME DEEPER AND ON CRAWLERS OR LEECHES.  THREW EVERYTHING AT THEM INCLUDING TROLLING.   RAN INTO SOME CRAPPIES AND THEY WERE SHALLOW WITH PLASTICS.  ALL FISH RELEASED LAST WEEK.  WATER TEMPS WERE AS HIGH AS 80 AND MOST DAYS ABOUT 75-78.  BIG TIME HAZE SHOWED UP THE LAST FEW DAYS.
