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 .

Fished the west end of Vermillion. Most consistent bite was finding the warmer water. Black Bay and river in under 5 foot produced good numbers on the swim jig, followed up by slowing down with senkos and pitching jigs.
