Shawano lake can produce some big bluegills, perch, and crappie once you find the submerged green vegetation, the weeds have to be alive otherwise the fish won't be there for you to catch, a small tungsten jig tipped with waxie does the trick everytime!

Lily Pads
Bobber fishing the lilipads during the bluegill spawn can be incredible! Move around until you find them (which it doesn’t take long) and once you find them, you’re set for a day of fun! Use a small jig with a chunk of crawler and that’s all you need!

Fish were very spread out on the lake depending on species. Perch were caught in about 4-5 feet of water in the woods, bluegills in 12, and crappies in the basins. Took a lot of weeding through smaller fish in order to get the bigger ones to commit. Fish were keyed in on smaller 4mm tungstens and 1/32 oz jigging spoons.

Laydowns
During the tournament we decided to head in to the river, since we didn't find any size in the lake. We fished from 7am - 3pm with one fish on, and it got off boat side. I could count the number of bites on one had...between the two of us. It was a really tough, post frontal day. If I had to do it over again, I would have went back to the lake, and looked for deep water structure.

Docks
Prefishing for a bass tournament I had action (but not size) skipping a white senko under docks on the east end of the lake. The closer to the water the dock was, the more action we had on it.

Docks
We started fishing weed lines but boat problems pushed us shallow onto docks. We had some action on docks but no size to be found. All in all a disappointing day as I lost a decent fish on a lipless in the weeds early so it could have been a better day.

Conditions were flat calm and blue skies today. I concentrated on sharp breaks with good weed lines. I saw a few fish busting out over deep water, but couldn’t get them to commit to anything. All my fish came ripping the Ned rig out of the weed edge.
