Running a Chappo over laydowns got my biggest bites but also caught numbers throwing a wacky rig senko near shady areas with Lilly pads.

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.

Bass could be found on rocks adjacent to weedlines. We caught most bass working jigs slowly. Throwing heavier jigs will also allow you to cast farther and maintain bottom contact in windy conditions. The biospawn exostick in red bug with a chartreuse perfect ned seemed to be the ticket
