8/14/22-8/16/2022. Fishing was tough because of the cold front and weather change. Locals said the fish were jaw locked because of the weather. Wipers were the targeted species but they were no where to be found even when tons of bait were around, usually you can catch a few or more with baitfish around. Small white bass were caught here and there but no real school of them. The Walleye and the crappie bite were better than the wipers. You can find tons of crappies and walleye sitting on underwater laydowns and stumps in 8-17FOW. Verticle jigging a small gulp worked well for crappies and a blade bait worked well for walleyes. Rock piles did not produce any fish but the baitfish were all over it.
