Look for new growth weed beds and sand or gravel bars. Fish a medium size, number 4 or 5 bucktail. Best times are early to mid morning and early evening. Look for smallies on rock bars at river mouths such as Jump River or Flambeau River. Use twister tails and crawlers.
Big mouths are out deeper.
Fish on their spawning beds, in the new growth weeds. Use 4 to 7 inch black or purple rubber worms, crawlers or twister tails. Perch are suspended over deeper water and in the shallows. Look for a school. Use minnows, and maybe regular worms or waxies.
