Fished Kab from 6/7 through 6/11. Water temps ranged from 65 to 74 degrees. Walleyes were everywhere from 2' out to 30'+. Finding biting fish was tough. Mayflies and leeches were plentiful so getting them to chase/bite your presenation was difficult. Loud & vibrant crankbaits worked best, with bobber & leeches also catching some fish.

Look for wind blown shorelines with weeds coming up, this time of year they are just starting. Use your electronics, if you have side imaging that works the best to cover a lot of area and to see the fish and weeds. Look for areas that are 10-15' deep with a slow break. put out 20' of line behind the boat a start at about 1 mph and depending on the day go a little slower or faster see what works the best. I use a crawler but leaches work well also. If you use a each just cut off the extra hook.
