Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle 

Fishing just keeps getting better. Still catching walleye from shore as well as boats. Many 16 to 18 inch walleye going on stringers. Points, as well as the flats are producing.

White perch are giving your worms a run for their money. Rember to eat the large ones and use the little ones for bait.

Stripers showing up lakewide and they are full of eggs. They are going thru the motions of reproducing. But that does not slow down the action. Live bait is your best bait, but the riggers are getting several also.

Catfish are hitting all the regular baits. Hot spot is up in the south east corner of the dam.

Drum were very active mid week and severl large ones were taken.

Gladys and Bud .

Till next week, keep a tight line.
