Bass are starting to bite in preparation for the spawn. Fish are at mouths of creeks up to the first secondary point. Fishing wind blown banks with chunk rock seemed to get the most bites

Crappie schooling around balls of shad, look for the birds, shad imitation crappie jig can be fished under a bobber to stay closer to the surface or without a bobber to fish closer to the bottom for bass and walleye

Largemouth were feeding on shad on bluff walls and any place with chunk rock, dt 6, and wiggle warts were most effective. Lots of catfish and drum were also caught this day making for a fun multi-species trip
