Techniques & Tips
Both species of bass will hit in the shallows on poppers, plastic worms, and buzz Baits. Walleye can be taken on lead head jibs with rubber minnows or live bait.Crappie are best from a boat with a fish finder that can locate submerged structure.
Bluegill hit on worms, waxworms, small bits of nightcrawler and can be caught on a bobber and worm or by slowly retrieving the same live bait along the bottom.
