You guys (ahem, sunshine if I remember correctly) did a great job on that last map. I am fishing the lake next month. Primarily crappies, or at least thats all that I tried for.

Some specs: lots of boat traffic, quite of few bass and crappie tournaments, 500 acres in size, some really deep stuff at 50+, but the usual deeper areas. Fish cribs for crappies. Its the public water source for a medium sized city. Waters levels are consistent and fluctuate somewhat slowly. Historically, the lake has been about 2 feet below normal. I dont expect anything different. Fingers are varying depths with some quite shallow. No real surface vegetation, but some but plenty of knockdowns. No standing timber in the water. Not sure if there is a thermocline.

We work the docks with slipbobbers and jigs for crappies. Every year there is a picture of a guy gettinga 4lb walleye. Pretty infrequent, but there is a reproducing (I think) group.

Right now I am thinking a slip bobber and leech by a blowdown that is pretty close to deeper water. Plan B. troll the some deep stuff 20 -25 with cranks. Maybe cast cranks to shoreline point.

well, its a "south of wisconsin lake". Primarily bass. DNR doesnt even have stocking stats about walleyes there. Gonna fish points with bottom bouncers and floaters. Maybe crank em fast. Find em then vertical jig em.

Otherwise, its slip bobbers, jigs and spike near boat docks for crappies.
