Fished Chippewa Saturday morning from about 9am to 1pm. Took a couple of hours of fishing to find some since I haven't been in there in about 10 years. Caught 14 nice ones in a couple of hours but the wind got bad and the guy I followed in wanted to leave since he wasn't catching any and we were the only boats left so I wasn't staying by myself in case I had issues getting out. This is a backwater lake you can only get in when the river is right. Water temp was about 57 degrees. Stopped in Bayou Zeast on the way back and caught a few more with water temp about the same. Fished a little in Dead lake near the launch and water temp was 60-62 so the next few weeks should only be getting better.
