| Was out on the chip for my first time this last weekend. Got chased off by driving rain and lightening Friday night and lightening again on Saturday evening, but during the late afternoon and early evenings, we tried seemingly everything with only one follow between the two days. Dawgs and cranks off the the channel edges and off the sides of mid-lake humps, bucktails and topwaters over weedbeds and bullrush humps, etc. Nothing going. We still plan on going back in August and again next June to give it a shot. Any thoughts on what to change, how to fish it differently? We mainly stuck to the Southeast 1/4 of the lake.

Location: Waukesha, WI, USA | Sounds like you are on the right track. Bucktails have always dominated lure choice for me there. Surface baits early and late. So many location choices to choose, hard to give one pattern. Huge weed beds associated with bars, weedy points off islands, points/bars connected to shoreline, sunken bogs. |

| Ya the structure there is unbelievable. We hit just about every different kind of structure I could find. Tried small (Mepps giant killers/maribous) up to DCGs over weeds and open water around structure. I can't imagine that having fronts rolling in and out non-stop overboth days helped a ton. The wind also made it challenging ot fish open lake structure. |
