Caught walleyes with small finesse presentations, a small underspin with small swimbait produced the most bites. Found groups of walleyes in slack water eddies and current seams in backwater river channels.

Was catching them up the black river in the breaks of the floating docks, just pulling it through some rock and they seemed to be there. They seemed to be on the rip-rap banks. Nothing simple other than just dragging a worm. Also was a morning bite, everything seemed to die by about 9:00.
