Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle 

Wind and storms slowing the anglers down but the ones going out are still catching a few.

Walleye are still good to excellant

White perch won't stay off your worms.

Small mouth on rocky areas, minnows a must.

Catfish all over, boat anglers as well as bank anglers are gettin a lot of nice ones

Stripers have slowed a bit not hanging in the shallow water right now but if you keep looking you will find them.

Gladys and Bud .
