 Bass Fishing Report: Red Cedar Lake - Mikana , Wisconsin – 5/19/07

Water temperature 59 degrees – wind 13 mph out of the south.

I got a chance to break away for a few hours (6:30 am to 9:30 am) to check out the smallmouth action with a friend that had never been on the lake, but was pre-fishing for an upcoming tournament. The fish were very cooperative.

I felt that the spawn should be very close if not already started so we hit some humps and sand flats. The first spot we hit yielded a solid limit including one fish pushing 5 lbs, a 4 lb, and several in the 3 lb class – there is a lot of beds right now in the 5.5 to 7’ depths that are holding males, with the females staging on the first drop and moving on an off the flats feeding with regularity. We are days from the full blown spawn. I caught most of my fish on a Carolina rig and dragging a Get Bit Baits 2.5” tube.

The second spot had beds in the same depth range, and my fishing partner had a toad of a smallie (a solid 6 lb fish) on, but it came unbuttoned. Jerkbaits were also a producer this day, but the cadence had to be varied often or you would not get bit.

Now is the time to get out there if you get a chance!!
