The walleyes continue to push up on the shallow boulders, 8-12 foot arouns the perimeter of the rock humps have been best, cork a leech or jig a half crawler! Afternoons have been best as the water reaches its highest temperature! Get out there and catch em up!! See ya on the water!

Boulder flats and mid depth rock 4-10 FOW. Cover water until you connect with a few fish then slow down with a ned rig or tube! Bite should only get better in the coming weeks.

SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBouldersFound fish from 1-9’ using 3 techniques. Drop shot produced better fish around boulders, but would get hung up easily. Morning started with a small popper, lots of short strikes. I would follow up with the drop shot if they missed the popper and wouldn’t hit again after a cast or 2. Threw a spinnerbait between spots I had marked to cover water effectively. Produced a few fish.
