Fish were on the edge of rock flats on the breaks. Most fish were by the edges that had the biggest rock and a steep break. Slow pauses worked best.

Walleyes were biting really good in 12’-18’ of water. Eerie Spinner and a jumbo leach were doing the trick as well as a #6 red hook and a leech! Very windy 20mph winds and an amazing chop on the water!
