Many fish of all sizes were biting in thick, shallow cover. The bronzeye frog was a very efficient way to locate them. I think using a stout 7'6" heavy action rod and diawa coastal reel helped quite a bit with making long casts and hauling them out.

Water Temperature
82°
Water temp is about 82 degrees. With the clear skies it took covering water to put fish in the boat. Seemed the most consistent areas where you would find the highest opportunity for multiple fish in a location was very small changes in bottom hardness/composition. Very small changes mattered the most. Had a variety of fish including walleye, bluegill and northern all on bottom bouncers with spinners. Boat traffic would spread the fish out as at times you’d pick up a few in a spot then traffic would go through and would need time before they reappeared. Find quieter waters, with small changes in bottom and inside turns/humps.
