Panfish Are On The Cribs

77 degree surface temperature
15 Ft visibility
33-37 Ft thermocline

• Bluegills have moved to the cribs and are easy to catch using waxworms or small trout worms. Crappies are on the weed edges or suspended over the crib and can be caught using small minnows.
• Smallmouth can be found anywhere from 6-20 Ft of water. Leeches, crawlers, and plastics have produced fish this week. Some of the smallies have started to relate to the cribs with the panfish.
• Northern Pike fishing has been very good for the last two weeks and should continue to stay hot. Fish chubs along the thermocline and weed edges for good action.
• Lake Trout have moved over deep water. Try suspended fish over 120-140 Ft of water. The white bass are down 20-28 Ft and will hit spinners and small minnows. Some fisherman have started to power jig the white bass in 40-60 Ft of water with fair success.
• Walleyes have started to move to the outer edges of the weeds. The big fish have dropped over the edge and can be targeted at this time. Remember these big fish can't last very long out of the water this time of year, so work fast and get a picture and put her back.
