"First Day of Spring, March 20th. LBN,"

almost through the month of March and a bright and sunny morning start!
Although morning temps. dropped to around 10' last night and into the morning daytime temps. to warm to mid 30's today with increased warming each day finishing up the week. Rain shower/thunderstorms so predicted for tomorrow and overnite temps. into Wednesday at around 40'.
Although not getting on the ice myself these past days in taking a ride/walk covering the upper end of the Bay through Gladstone seeing still a good number of fisherman out yesterday afternoon.
ATV and truck travel being seen although shoreline ice off many of the ice accesses seeing heavy "wear" and breaking up.

Bites on the Bay;
Perch fisherman still bucketing some nice catches of perch working lots of different water depths to as deep as 40'.
Shallow water bites are happening as well with perch heading into the future weedbed edges with warming temps.
Best baits; both wigglers and using 2" and even 3" minnows fished plain. Using smaller flasher type jigs also taking some fish.

Whitefish bites; some reports of fish being caught off the deep water breaks again using those "dead-bait" rigs right off bottom.
Also single salmon eggs working as well.

Inland lake reports continue to coming in with fisherman taking some nice "gills" and some "crappie!"
Wigglers, waxies and tiny minnows working.

Again a reminder to the upcoming warming conditions.
Remember now's the time to start getting ready for that open-water fishing season;

Here at the Shoreline Sports Center we'll start getting in our "spring -time" tackle for open water. We've got salmon eggs, spawn sacs made and ready and soon those spring "steelheaders" will be hunting those fish in the many rivers throughout our area.
Some of our company lines of tackle will include; Walleye Choice's Tackle, (an exclusive line of Capt. Keith's products), E-cell Batteries (the only re-chargeable battery you'll ever need) exclusively at the Shoreline Sports Center, St. Croix Rods/Reels, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Off-Shore Tackle, Church Tackle Planer Boards, Drift Control Bags, along with a Salmon selection of spoons from Moon Shine Lures, salmon/trout accessories including flashers, dodgers, flies, downriggers and accessories, Lowrance Electronics, Mercury Motor and Marine accessories, Prop repair, Minn-kota, Rapala, Reef-runner, Smithwick, Rebel, Frabill products and a complete line of "live-bait!"
Stop in and see us,
Hours will vary now until getting closer to the open-water, watch for some new changes.

Marty,
Thanks for the report, plenty of ice here still too. Went crappie fishing last night on Moen, and kicked them around pretty good on tip downs.
