Fished the west end during the last week of July and it was a tough bite. Tube jigs on wind blown shoreline rocks were the most consistent bait but could catch smaller bass on everything finesse. Caught a few largemouth and smallmouth on whopper ploppers as well, but it wasn’t a consistent pattern. Mostly struck out with the dropshot on deeper structure like rock piles and reefs except for dozens of 8-10” smallies and a handful of walleyes from 18-24”.
