    May not be relevant anymore but…I was out this past Saturday. Fished walleyes for a while, got bored so I switched to smallmouth. I dragged crawlers and minnows on a lindy rig in 18 – 30′ ow. Caught a few nice fat smallies and several channel cats. I was south of Afton and north of Kinni fishing on WI side wherever I saw rocks. I didn’t have much time to chase around. Try fishing off the nature preserve just north of Hwy 10 bridge on the MN side. I’ve done good there in past. Water temp was 71 degrees. Tons of baitfish. My graph was nothing but clouds especially near 94 bridge. I also saw a lot of surface activity – baitfish being chased to the surface. I should have casted a crank to those areas.
