We fished Grand and Long this past weekend for our club openers, I was able to finish with 2nd place on Grand 15.38lbs and 5th on Long 13.55lbs, (my co-angler beat me from the back of the boat to win the tournament). 17.5lbs won on Grand and 15.35 won on Long. Both lakes have the smallies locked to the beds, but more so on the south ends of the lakes, the north ends have warmed rapidly and are beginning to be spawned out.
All of the Grand success came around the islands, beds from 8 feet of water all the way to shore. We spent the day on Long Lake working the long rock points that had pencil reeds on them, beds about every 8 feet in most areas along the edges of the rocks. I noticed the water temps at both lakes almost had to be 65 degrees exclusively or the beds were empty.
Great weekend caught about 30 bass a day, most all were quality fish too.
