With the heat of the summer the mud bite on Lake Winnebago has taken off.  The best presentation has been night-crawler harnesses behind planer boards targeting the walleye from 5 to12 feet down over 18 ft. of water.  Purple blades and Blue Silver with color matching beads have been the best colors.  I'm running a 1oz. in line sinker anywhere from 10 to 25 feet back behind the boards to reach the 5 to 12 ft. zone boat speed is 1 mph.  The fish are ranging from 16 to 20 inches long.  Crank-baits  have also been working Reef Runners Rip shads, Deep Little Rippers have been my choice chrome colors any where from 30 to 60 ft behind the board.

The Perch bite has also started with good numbers but lots of 7-8 inches being caught.  The mud rock transitions being key areas.
