Walleyes were on structure. Tipping anything with a minnow was key. We also placed tip ups off structure in order to get cruising walleyes to bite. Crappies and walleyes were mixed together.

It's that time of year where fish on highly pressured water get harder to catch, so patience and experimenting is usually needed. Used a Tika Minnow to attract fish that were wondering around the flat I was on. If fish would not hit Tika Minnow I had a VMC Bullfly tipped with a waxie ready to go. Most times they would hit the smaller, less aggressive BullFly.
