Very early April can be a bonzi also. Take big shiners every day ! Hope for nice sunny days and somewhat clean water. Can limit out fast in early mornings.
I will be out off Crane Crk to Locust Reef area that weekend. There is always a lull in the bite of sometimes a week or so of very little action but you never know.
3/4 oz , Blacks, Purples, White with Purple, greens. Take Bait, see I said it again. Peak water temp for peak spawn time is 46-47 degree water. Start as shallow as 8 feet near shore out to 14-16 ft. Work the reefs and watch the depth that you catch fish. Follow contour lines on your GPS to find a pattern.

Dont let what some say about the river fishing deter you . Only about 10% of the walleye use the river beds for spawning. The nearshore areas of rocky hard bottom and offshore reefs hold plenty of proven places for walleye to spawn
