There's lots of fish to be had up shallow that time of year. There's a very good bite off of crane creek that typically starts in late June. You'll find fish in anywhere from 12 to 19' of water. Ripsticks, hot n tots, shad raps and spoons behind small dypsys or jets are typically my most productive baits. Actually crane creek isn't the only place that has a shallow water summertime bite. You can actually find them anywhere from the Marblehead lighthouse on eastward clear over to Cleveland. July is my favorite time of year for walleye fishing. The weather is generally stable, and I don't have to make any long runs to find the fish.
