Drop boat in at the East landing in the morning with all the other muskie fisherman in the fall. Head to the North side of the lake of the East side. Cast, cast and cast your Mepps Muskie Killer In-Line Spinner 3/4 oz (yes! 3/4 oz) Black/Chartreuse just above the submerged vegetation in 12 to 13 feet of water. Probably running the spinner 6ish ft below the water line. No need to break your back and arms with overly heavy and priced lures at this location. I catch multiple 45"+ muskies a morning out on the water in this location while other get skunked with their giant set ups.

5/18/2021: In the evening. A few spawned out females were in super shallow water, over sand, in between the reeds and shore, and over sand/gravel between docks. A few keeper largemouth were also biting on weightless wacky senkos, shallow, at the edges of the reeds. The larger fish last night came sight fishing a jig and craw trailer, giving them plenty of time to react, and only twitching that jig a bit every 20 seconds or so.

Docks
Pitch a chatterbait right up to the shore around and underneath docks positioned on shallow flats with submergent vegetation. Retrieve it as slowly as you can keeping the blade moving and tick it across the tops of the vegetation allowing the blade to stall out occasionally.

Largemouth were staged shallow around docks and vegetation (reeds and shallow weeds). 6” megabass magdraft freestyles rigged on an 8/0 owner weighted beast hook were good producers. Other baits that were working well: megabass vision 110, bluegill swimjigs with larger paddle tail swimbait trailers, and River-2-Sea S-waver 168 in lite trout. Getting close to structure was crucial, and covering lots of water is key.

On May 20th, it was windy, and water the temp was 63 degrees F. Numbers of keeper bass were hitting a bladed jig retrieved over the tops of submerged weeds in 6 ft of water, ticking the tops of the weeds with the bait. But, the bigger ones were shallow, relating to docks, and bit flipping jigs.

They were eating today in 3-8 feet of water throwing white spinnerbaits over the tops of grass flats. Many would eat it on the fall. Letting it sink 3-4 seconds to get right above the submerged weeds. Working back to the boat really slow and popping the rod a few times would trigger them to bite.
