Crappie action is good from the pier for small fish, but bream action has slacked off. Catfish, 4-8 pounds, are being caught on cut bait and chicken livers. Walleye continue to be caught by anglers drifting live minnows and nightcrawlers across the bottom.
Crappie fishing is good for anglers using small minnows.
Best fishing is near the fish attractors and off the pier, early and late in the day. Bass are taking top-water baits, plastic worms and medium minnows, with best success being at sunup and sundown. Those anglers fishing for walleye in the late-evening, are taking fish to five pounds. Bluegills and catfish are taking nightcrawlers, fished in shallow water, almost on the shore. White perch are active throughout the lake on worms and crickets.
