50 fish day! Spent the morning flipping downed trees in 3-4 feet. Caught 2 bonus walleyes in the 16-17 inch range flipping shallow. In the afternoon switched to the floating bogs on the lake. Found almost all of our fish in shallow water with access to water in the 5-8 foot range. The bite was good all day but best in the early morning and at sundown. Best 5 went for 8 pounds 2 ounces and ended the day with a 37.5 inch northern.

Largemouth bass were tight to shoreline cover, especially if there was sticks, brush, or laydowns. Skipping a wacky rig as close as possible convinced a bunch of them to bite.
