Summer has arrived in full force these past few weeks.
Temperatures have soared and people are getting on the water and taking
advantage of the great weather we’ve been having. While most people are
enjoying tubing and skiing in the warm water temps, anglers are still having
good success.
Bass fishermen are reporting good numbers of fish coming
from many different areas of the lake. A good shallow water location has been
the rock dock area in Wageners Bay. Low light hours are primetime for using
topwater baits such as a frog or a popper. Spinnerbaits and worms are also deadly
for shallow water bass. Anglers have also been having good success in deeper
water along the weedlines around 10-16 FOW. Cemetery, Pillsbury, and Center
reefs have been kicking out good fish.
The sunfish bite has still been strong throughout the hot
weather spell. Anglers are catching bluegills along the south shoreline in 7-12
feet of water. Other good areas for sunfish along with a few crappies have been
Pillsbury Reef and Kegs Reef along the weedlines.
A few more walleyes have been reported this past week with
fish being caught around sunrise and sunset. Fishermen are using a few
different tactics to put walleyes in the boat.
A jig and minnow or leech presentation along the weeds on Kegs Reef and
North Reef in lowlight conditions has
been working well. Lindy Rigs tipped with a leech has worked also.
