Outing was on 6/7/2025. Sunny calm morning on Tonka. Water temps were in the upper 60's to low 70's. Mostly fished the west side of the lake. Sunfish were up shallows, so tried to stick shallow. Caught some frog fish up shallow around panfish and slop. Also had good luck around docks with senkos in pumpkinseed color with chartruese highlight tip. No bigguns, but plenty of action.

Outing on Tonka for May 17, 2025. Started out cold with temps in the upper 40s, and warmed up through the day to the upper 50s. Fished from about 7am to 1pm. Fish weren't quite up shallow yet and had luck on a chatterbait on the nearby weed flat outside of the spawning zone. Caught about 13 or so today on the chatterbait. Overall great day
SpeciesWalleyeTechniqueBobbersSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationWe targeted wind-blown weed lines in 10 feet of water and searched for fish. Once we located a pod we hung leeches under slip bobbers. The fish were cruising and we had to move constantly to stay with them.
