Walleye we're schooled in the bays on the east side of the lake. There was some stretches if milfoil starting to grow in 8-14' off the banks of the by. Walleyes seemed to be roaming up and down the grass and could be triggered slowly working a small Keitech on a 1/8oz ball head jig. We also were getting bigger fish off a Megabass 110+1 in the gg perch color.

Crawfish
Smallmouth could be found sliding up on the top of offshore reefs where they would be feeding on mayflies and crawfish. Dropshot was the most effective to target these fish using electronics. Spybait was also effective for covering water on the reefs.
