Vixen, Spook Jr, Whopper Ploppers all produced well. Also threw a hover rigged flat worm as a follow up bait if they didn't get it the first few times.

But fish are inactive and hard to fish for. But managed to get 3 crappies and a handful of walleye with 3 pike and 3 perch. 8am and 230pm seems to be the hit time of day.
