I have been doing a lot of walleye fishing the last few days and the action remains excellent. I have been using jigs and live bait, either leaches or crawlers. I have been fishing in 12 to 24 feet of water. The large fish seem to be up in the shallower water, 12 to 16, as you get to the deeper water the fish get a lot smaller with some jumbo perch mixed in. I have also been casting crank bait to the points and finding some great walleye and bass action.
The bass have been a little cold and seem to be hiding in about 8 to 10 feet of water off the boulder shore lines.
Since I have been fishing walleyes I have not had any time to look for the muskys, but if the fish board is any indicater the musky action has slowed with the rain and colder weather. I am going to take some guys out hunting for them today so I will add to the report in the next couple of days.
