The walleye bite is decent in the early morning, according to Mike Sperry of Chautauqua Reel Outdoors. Slow trolling worm harnesses close to the scattered weed line is working. About 1 mph is ideal as far as speed. Running the harnesses behind bottom bouncers is the best method. This will work on the north and south basin, according to Sperry. A 1/4- to 3/8-ounce jig tipped with a black 4-inch Mister Twister is a great way to jig up some walleye. Quarter-ounce Vibes short cast and pumped back to the boat will work, especially with the water temp rising. White bass will nail these, too.
The crappie bite was good over the weekend in shallow, however that will start to diminish as the water warms. Use 1/32 ounce jigs and minnows under a slip bobber. From reports, the musky fishing was good for opening weekend with several boats reporting multiple fish. A bunch of fish were landed casting on Saturday. Water temperatures in the lake finally hit 65 degrees according to Capt. Frank Schoenacker of Infinity Charters. His focus is on the southern basin for this time of year. On Memorial Day, he caught four walleyes, two on real worms and two on plastics
