Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle
Been slow with the heat the past week however with it cooling a bit t he fish have been more cooperable.

Stripers shallow as well as deep and surfacing the past two days. Live bait working for many of the anglers. Throwing small jigs will entice the surfacing fish.

Walleye are still being taken on worms in 15 to 20 feet. Some were caught in 40 foot. But only one report. Still some under 15 but a lot of keepers still being caught.

White perch  still out there but a little harder to find now.

Catfish lake wide on all types of bait.

Small mouth off of the rocky areas on minnow and also on jigs.

Drum No Report
