Fished the same area Saturday morning. It's always a good sign when you get a keeper on the first cast. Two man limit by 9am. Water was clear in that area.

2 hours today, NW of Lakefront in 17-18 fow, 6 milking males.
I caught 2 of the walleye on shiners, bright green hair jig with stinger, and then tried the night crawler and caught 3 on that.
The spreader produced one keeper walleye and a white bass, dragging shiners just off the bottom.
Windy and cold today, but the fish did not seem to mind.
This area has been good to the dog.

May 3rd, 2020 oooppps.

Fished NW of Lakefront, SE of H can. ( many boats were working the area, some in closer most out in the 18-19 fow)
Spreader with shiners, caught 2 yellow perch and 2 walleye. (just off the bottom)
Gold erie dearie tipped with a night crawler took 2 walleye.
Bright green hair jig tipped with a shiner took 1 walleye.
And a bonus hog sheep head~! On the jig~!
Was mixing it up for the walleye, seems they are in transition now.
I think the time is near to try for some Yellow Perch~!
( the sheep head was released , unharmed so you can catch him too~!)

Worked the same area Saturday and Sunday. 2 man limit by 9:30 Saturday. Sunday was a struggle. Caught 2 fairly quick in the morning then it went dead. Picked a couple more then finished with 5 quick ones around 1:30. Beautiful day to be patient. We did catch a few jumbo sheep and a nice small mouth. JD green caught most.

One sheep head today!
Fished NW of Lakefront, east, west and south of "H" can.
Wind was moving the dog .8 to 1.2 mph.
Water was colder than the last time I was out by about 2 degrees.
Using night crawlers and a gold erie dearie and a spreader tipped with night crawlers.
Will watch the wind and try again soon.

H can area again, one sheep head using a gold erie deerie with night crawler.
Spreader tipped with golden shiners did not produce.
G can area, dropped the anchor to see if I could catch any perch, no bites.
Not as windy in the am today, I think we need some warm weather to get the bite going again.

Two walleye "Clinton Reef" area, one on a gold erie dearie tipped with a night crawler and the other on the spreader using golden shiners.
Foggy today, and when the wind changed from the North it got real foggy again, I would of had big time problems getting back to the Portage River without my gps. The white perch were beating up my night crawlers and I hooked 3 of them on the erie dearie. No sheep head today. And there were two head boats working the area today.
