Pitch a dropshot on top of the reefs on waconia, use a heavier weight then usually on the drop shot and almost power fish it covering a lot of water until you find a school.

Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)
Structure

Flipping jigs or you favorite texas rigged punch bait in the milfoil can be a productive way to catching bigger bass. Lots of numbers can be caught by throwing light jigs or finesse bait around the island shore structure. A big fish or 2 can be caught under docks with a senko style bait and a light unpegged weight. Late July water temp around 70 degrees

Look for warm water and weeds in 2 to 8 feet of water. The bass come in early to warm up and feed before the spawn. I like to us baits that look like blue gills.

This time of year guys like to get out early after ice out on lake Waconia to get on a crappie bite. Crappies are found moving around in schools 6-14 ft of water. The south shoreline on Lake Waconia becomes a popular spot for guys to find schools of crappies in early spring. They will catch them on little hair-jigs or smaller spinners, but also a lot of guys will be throwing a small jig with a crappie minnow on a bobber.

Drop boat in at the East landing in the morning with all the other muskie fisherman in the fall. Head to the North side of the lake of the East side. Cast, cast and cast your Mepps Muskie Killer In-Line Spinner 3/4 oz (yes! 3/4 oz) Black/Chartreuse just above the submerged vegetation in 12 to 13 feet of water. Probably running the spinner 6ish ft below the water line. No need to break your back and arms with overly heavy and priced lures at this location. I catch multiple 45"+ muskies a morning out on the water in this location while other get skunked with their giant set ups.
