The walleye have moved out over the basin and are chasing bait. I was fishing in 35-40 FOW and the fish were 10-25 feet down. I would spot a big mark on Livescope, cast at it and slowly twitch the bait back over their head. Keeping the bait above the fish was key. I caught one 28” walleye, a bunch of 15-19” walleye, and a 36” northern.

Smallmouth and largemouth are both out on the weed edges. Caught several 18+” smallies shaking a minnow over their heads. Most of the largemouth have been coming on Texas rigged craws.
