Threw the Toad over the emergent vegetation and when a bass blew up on it I would follow up with pitching a zoom 8 inch lizard to that spot. Also pitched the lizard near sea walls and any trees that were in the water near shore. Pretty heavy coating of duck weed in the area so just tried to fish anything that looked like it would be a place a bass would make a bed.

Lots of Walleyes are being caught in the river located in Oshkosh on the Fox River Especially near the Hwy 41 Bridge. Using jigs and minnow or Flys have been working best. Try different depths and keep moving until you find the correct depth.
