    The water is warming up quick so the smallie action should start to heat up soon.  They're out there so just figure them out and catch'em. Good luck

    I always start my season the 1st weekend of May. I have found that at that time, water temp in the area betweem Lampe and Northeast (at least on the surface) is typically about 52 degrees. I think you can get the water temp from the NOAA marine forecast.

    Any other questions should be answered on the lake to figure out your own pattern.Good luck.
