This was a multi species trip so we caught a fair amount of walleye, crappie, pike, and smallmouth bass. I enjoy keying into the smallmouth. Outside of live bait rigs, the keitech swimbait on a 1/4oz jig head did very well for smallmouth. Relatively slow retrieve with a series of twitches and pops off the rod. Beautiful area to get away and fish!

Mid - June is a great time to pull spinners along the wind blown shorelines, troll at .75 - 1.25 mph. get out away from the boat start with a 1/8 oz sinker. use your electronics to locate the fish, they are normally in 5' - 15' of water. Use a crawler or cut the back hook off and use a leach or minnow. The fish are normally feeding on minnows or bugs. when you feel the fish hit wait a second or two and set the hook, it will give them a chance to suck the bait into there mouth. I like to use a braid as my mainline but mono works just as good. Good Luck!
