From weed edges to rock piles and offshore runs, the fish are still there. You just need to meet them halfway.

Bite Report:

Musky: Still hot—bucktails and topwater lures moving big fish.
Bluegills: Locked on beds and aggressive. Great bite for beginners and panfish fans.
Smallmouth Bass: Topwater fun continues with nest-guarders in the shallows.
Largemouth Bass: Active in shallow structure zones—frogs and soft plastics are key.
Northern Pike: Holding steady in 6–10 ft weeds—try spinnerbaits and chatterbaits.
Walleye: Fair to good in weed zones; leeches and slip floats doing work. Evening bite is best.
Perch: Target 12–20 ft during late morning through early afternoon with half crawlers or medium fats.
Crappie: Mostly post-spawn, hanging in adjacent weedbeds. Slower but still catchable.
Lake Trout & Salmon: Excellent reports from chartering ports—great time to be on the big water.
Inland Trout: Solid bite in cool, shaded streams and creeks.
