Skipping docks with a queen tungsten jig. Varied between a jig with a chunk on shallower docks and one with a menace on a little bit deeper docks or flipping inside weedlines.

Fishing for walleye is still good right now just as the sun is going down. Small window of opportunity for good walleye action. We fished from shore from boat launch areas soaking a fathead underneath a night led bobber. Plain hook or colored hooks with small split shot under a light bobber, around 2-3 feet under bobber. Cast bobber out and let sit for a few minutes. Give line a twitch every so often. Reel in any slack and kee line as tight as you can for when they bite, so you can set the hook on them. Might have to let them take the bobber for a few seconds before setting hook. They are very light biters, especially before and after their active moment during sun going down. Use the medium size fatheads, not the crappie minnows.

Pulling crank baits or spinners over patches of broad leaf weeds worked. It was a difficult bite, most anglers were getting not much. Also found little guys in about 10' of water over a mid lake hump.

Water temps in mid 60s, few bass left on beds, lots of nice bluegills up shallow around docks. Bass bite was very tough. Thr few we caught were tempted fishing wackynrigs shallow around any cover in shallower bays and canals.

Work along buoy lines in about 6-8 ft of water looking for weed edges mainly milfoil and you’ll catch the tons of bass
