Fishing on Cass Lake has been getting better since the water is warming up. Temp is about 64 degrees. Walleyes are biting on the north end in about 25 to 30 feet of water during the day. Shiners are still the main bait of choice, but the leeches and night crawlers are going strong also. The late evening bite on rapalas started about a week ago. There has been some nice walleye caught at night trolling on North Cedar Bar and the Narrows. There has also been a few muskies caught, but more follows then strikes. With the water temps warming up, that will change in a hurry. Northern pike have been more aggresive and many families are having a good time with a minnow and a bobber. Crappie fishing has slowed down.
On Lake Andrusia walleye have been biting in l8 feet of water. Shiners or fathead on a jig works well on this lake. Work the break lines and drop offs. There is also a nice hump to work between the two rivers that produce wallye all summer long. This is a nice little lake to fish. It not only holds a good number of walleye, but it is also known for it's northern pike. Take a sucker minnow and sit on the outside of the weed line or the edge of the cabbage.
Walleye fishing on Pike Bay has been good also. Fish are being caught on the center bar or working the edge of the cabbage line in 15 to 20 feet of water. Perch are being caught in 6 to 12 feet of water with a jig and a fathead minnow.
Remember to stay safe and have fun fishing. Please practice catch and release for the future.
Hope to see you on the water!
Good fishing!
