Musky:
Musky action remains slow, but is improving. Fish are on weed beds, weed flats, weed edges, and near panfish and baitfish concentrations. Baits of choice include small suckers, bucktails, and topwaters.

Walleye:
Walleye fishing is mostly good, consistent, and anglers are doing well. Fish are on mid-depth to deeper weedlines during the day, hitting leeches and crawlers on jigs or under slip bobbers. In the evening hours, work jigs tipped with minnows and crawlers on the bottom near weed edges in 4-10 feet. Crankbaits and stickbaits are also productive.

Northern Pike:
Northern pike fishing is good to excellent in/on shallow weeds, weed beds, and weedlines in depths to 10 feet, and near panfish and baitfish concentrations. Go deeper with bigger baits for trophy pike. Northern and walleye suckers, spinners, spinnerbaits, spoons, bucktails, and crankbaits will all grab a pike’s attention.

Largemouth Bass:
Largemouth bass action is good, with fish spawning/post-spawn and recovering. Look for fish on weed flats and in weed beds and lily pads in depths to 7 feet. The most productive offerings include various plastics, wacky rigs, drop-shot rigs, spinnerbaits, and topwaters.

Smallmouth Bass:
Smallmouth bass fishing is good to very good, with fish spawning and post-spawn. Find them on weed flats and hard bottom structure. Ned rigs, plastics (worms, tubes), and drop-shot rigs fished on the bottom are all working great.

Crappie:
Crappies are post-spawn, scattering, and moving somewhat deeper. Fishing is fair to good around weeds, weedlines, brush, and bogs, with the best action in late afternoon into early evening. Best baits include jigs with crappie minnows, plastics, and Gulp! baits, as well as Mini-Mites, Voodoo Jigs, and Beetle Spins.

Bluegill:
Bluegill fishing is very good to excellent, but selective harvest is a necessity. Find fish in/on shallow weeds and around shoreline structure. Use waxies, leaf worms, plastics, and Gulp! baits on small jigs and/or under slip bobbers.
