Fishing was slow. Was hot, muggy, sunny, and flat calm. The few smallies were decent sized though. Hot pink Mepps muskie killer produced most fish, including a 40 inch muskie.

Had best luck on dig boulder stretching out off points with a jerk bait and caught walleyes in the entrance into pikes bay throwing 1/4 once under spin with a swim bait in 4-7 feet of water every evening . Great time for first trip to this body of water .
