Lake Superior still has ice chunks floating in it, but the inland lakes are starting to warm up. The bass season opened this past weekend so when temps hit the high 80s on Memorial Day I decided to give it a try; the fishing was spectacular. I always look forward to the 1st fresh fish fry of the season, because it’s hard to beat the taste of freshly caught fish, especially when the water is still on the cold side.
