Well we were up on Cass over the MEA break and were greeted with a wintery mix that hung with us almost the entire extended weekend. Wednesday night we got out to troll some cranks in the rain and snow. Water temps were around 48 degree. Walleyes were up shallow and we connected on several nice eaters and a few too big or too small for the table. By the next evening the water temps dropped to 46 degrees and the night trolling got much tougher and tullibies started showing up in the shallows. The walleyes were being caught on the weedline breaks in 12-18 fow during the day hours on minnows on livebait rigs or jigs. The last frew nights were very slow for the crank bite and on Saturday night I found surface temps dipping just below 44 degrees in spots.

The crappie bite was very good with slabs being found in the usual late fall or early winter spots.
