The first Holiday of the Summer season is in the books. The weather was beautiful. The lack of wind slowed the walleye bite during the day. The evening and night bite was very good. Trolling crank baits like #5 shad raps in water depths of 8 to 10 feet put several nice fish in the box. Warmer weather predicted for next week should bring the shiners into shallow water. Jig/shiners are still my choice of bait, but having some leeches and crawlers in the boat is a good move. Some times just changing the color of your jig will make a difference. Remember the slot is now 20 to 26 inches.

I didn't bass fish but reports look good with several nice fish caught during the opener.

Good luck, Murph
