[QUOTE="KDM, post: 162251, member: 314"] Same spots with jig 'n minnow or plastic. Mostly depth breaks on gravel flats and the current seams where fish can rest up. The trend I see in the spring is small males early, small males, big males, and a few females during spawn, Everything post spawn. Faster retrieves tend to get aggressive male bites and the slow almost lay on the bottom type retrieves get the bigger males and females. Patience is KING in the SPRING!!!!! Guess I should have answered the questions better.... Sheyenne River at any time the ice is out works for walleyes. Water temp hasn't seemed to make a difference on catching fish. Use the smallest jig possible. I have used 1/16ths and 1/32nds in the spring with just a minnow and found good success. larger jigs will get bit, but a greater percentage of the bites will be short and just strip the skin off the minnow instead of getting a hookup. Don't forget the bobber rig either. A slow moving jig and minnow under a small bobber going the exact speed of the current about a half inch above the bottom has turned up more limits of fish then I can count. [/QUOTE]
