Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle 

Walleye fishing was excellent this past weekend, Several boats caught their limits. Fish are very healthy. Jig and nightcrawlers seem to be the best bait.

White Perch going good also, worms working best for them also

Stripers still in 4 to 16 ft of water, live bait, perch, extra large shinners as well as shad best bait. A 24, 15 and a lot of fish 5 to 10 pounds were caught Sunday.

Catfish still lakewide, worms, shad gizzards and sides and normal catfish bait producing good stringers. This has been good for the bank anglers as well as the boat anglers.

Some white bass were taken up the river at the low water bridge, this has been sporadic so far.

Smallmouth on minnows as well as crappie on minnows
