St. Cloud area fishing report 4-28-06

[Spinach]

SAINT CLOUD ? Corky?s Gas & Bait , Main Street in Rockville (320-251-1567) The panfish were hitting really well over the weekend. They are starting to pre-spawn and hit in the shallow areas of Pleasant, Pearl, East Lake and the Horseshoe Chain. Try using waxworms for these panfish. Crappies are starting their pre-spawn. With the weather improving so will the action. Try 8-10 feet of water using a Flu Flu jig in all area lakes.

SAINT CLOUD ? Stop Light Bait, Honest Don, 8th Avenue SE, St. Cloud (320-255-9689) The panfish have been biting on Clearwater, Briggs, Lake Julia and the Horseshoe Chain. The weather conditions have been affecting some lakes more than others. The Mississippi has still been running high, and some angles have caught crappies and catfish. Don't forget to stop down and pick up some of our leeches that we have for sale!
