Forecast looks sunny so hopefully that will get the fish moving! My gut is saying emerging weeds will hold both walleye and pike, especially when sun is shining. Rock humps and points should also hold fish. Other thoughts? Picture is from the 2013 opener - caught a number of 25+ fish.

Some areas the walleye will be completed their spawn but the shoal spawners still maybe spawning. The mouth of the French the females have just started and the goose island is still all ice, which is good to keep people off. Just a side note, NFN has extended their moratorium until May 16.
