Tube jigs or minnows off the piers and below the cabin. Pretty good numbers off of the end of the piers.

Bluegill

Fair-Good

up to 0.4 lbs

Small hunk of worm or spinner under a bobber around the brush piles and along the weededges. Look for the muddy water between the bank and the curly leaf pondweed.

Channel Catfish

up to 6.0 lbs

Fish feeders are in and feeding sinking food, feeding at 7:30, 8 am, noon, 7, 7:30 pm. Shad sides, guts or livers around the fish feeders and off of the piers.

Largemouth Bass

Fair-Good

Plastics or spinner baits worked slow in that shallow water on those sunny days. These guys are done spawning but they are like teenagers, always hungry.

Redear Sunfish

Small hunk of worm or jig in the open areas in the curly leaf pondweed and by the boat ramp.

General Comments

Don't have a father's day gift y? Just take dear old dad out fishing and spend some time with him!

Water is still a little murky.

Stocked 200,000 walleye fry a couple weeks ago will be a couple years before these guys are of eating size!
