Report by Bud's Bait & Tackle

Walleye still being reported in the Duvall and Minooka area. I have not been told but I am sure you will find them in all of your favorite spots in the fall. Worms and minnows are producing. Also jigging slab spoons will work.

White Bass are still running the bait fish to surface and the gulls give you a good idea where to watch for these. Jigs, slab spoons as well as minnows will work on them.
