In the last three weeks I have caught them on a small (1/16 oz.)white and red spinnerbait, a shallow running crankbait (Bomber A & Storm Wigglewart) and a #14 Husky Jerk. Anything that runs around 2-4 feet deep and can be fished in the shallows will work. We caught a bunch on a white buzzbait yesterday in about 2 feet of water. Good luck!
We were fishing for crappie and northern but the bass were biting them too.

Im a long way from Wisconsin but here in TN when the water was cold in early spring i used a Rapala shad, i think its a #5 which dives 5-10 ft. and was catching about 20-25 fish a day. When i was throwing around cover i would jerk it a few times and let it sit suspended and normally the fight was on after that. If all else fails go to your plastics and jig them, ive never had a bad day jigging a worm.

As you probably figure it by now, I hunt and fish in northern WI where I'm originaly from,(but I live in SE MN, yep I'm a person that the cheeseheads call MN people LOL) Anyways I always have great luck with the tiger stripe floating Rapalas. I cast it out by sticks, stumps, logs, docks and floating bogs when the bait hits the water quickly real the slack up, stop for a sec, then I give a couple quick jerks (mimics a wounded minnow)then reel the slack, stop then start reeling it up. More times than often the bass hit it just after a gave it a few jerks. Hope this works as good for you as it has for me. GOOD LUCK!
