Gear for this water
For the bass (smallmouth bass on the season program here)
| Spinnerbaits and squarebills | cover water along banks and riprap |
| Finesse jigs | for the fish that have seen everything else |
| Medium spinning or casting rod | 6.5 to 7 ft medium; 10 to 12 lb line |
For the walleye (walleye on the season program here)
| Medium spinning rod | 6.5 to 7 ft medium, 8 lb line; sensitivity beats power here |
| Jigging raps and blade baits | vertical over deep structure in the cold months |
| Jig and minnow | 1/8 to 1/4 oz round jigs tipped live or plastic; drag the bottom slowly |
