While presenting both artificial and live crawfish along the steep sides of humps on dropshots, we encountered aggressive sunfish in the 8-10" range. Most fish were caught in 10-14' near the weed edges in these humps. Faster presentation and movement was key to enticing bites.

With light wind, overcast skies, and warm water, the walleye were tentative. Fishing different forms of Ned-style craws produced bites when they were dragged/hopped relatively quickly from deep to shallow up the steep sides of humps around Lakeport Shoal. Finding keeper-sized fish was difficult in these areas, but a mix of shorts and keepers led to a good day overall and a couple decent walleye fillets.
