Fishing Report for 6-23-20

As the lakes warmed up, the fish have changed to their summer patterns. You’ll find a lot of babies and smaller fish along the shorelines as the bigger fish have moved out deeper. Look towards the deep weed edges for panfish as they like to hide in structure. The crappie bite has increased with active fish found in depths of 8-14 feet. Northern pike are active in 10-14 feet of water using large lures. The best depths for walleye vary, with some coming from 8-18 feet of water, and others found at the gravel/mud flats in 24-32 feet if water. Evening hours are best. Live bait rigs with crawlers or leeches are turning fish, but jig and minnow combinations are also producing well.
