I'm going to move you over to the Powersite forum- you'll get alot better advise over there.

I assume you're fishing for whites and/or walleye. If you read back in the archives you'll see stick baits like bombers and rouges are worked along the bank in slower water and eddies for walleye- also swimming minnows. At night is the best time to fish for walleyes- or on a dark, rainy day like today. Water running is a must and I think you'll see alot of that in the future after today. Gitzits also are good as well as grubs and sliders. I like light colors in the day and dark at night. You might even hook a white or two but I doubt it until the water temp warms up a bit.
